Today’s results are in!

Group 40

Crystal Renn (66.7%) defeated Patricia Velasquez (33.3%)

Cindy Crawford (100.0%) defeated Cynthia Korman (0.0%)

Group 41

Kim Cloutier (73.7%) defeated Raica Oliveira (26.3%)

Emily DiDonato (66.7%) defeated Manon von Gerkan (33.3%)

Group 42

Julie Ordon (55.6%) defeated Michelle Lombardo (44.4%)

Sarah O’Hare (73.3%) defeated Barbara Carrera (26.7%)

Group 24

Tyra Banks (52.2%) defeated Andrea Orme (47.8%)

Emily Ratajkowski (51.9%) defeated Tori Praver (48.1%)

My spin:

Just like the World Cup does every time it is held, we have a “group of death” in our tournament: Group 24. The highest ranked model, Tyra Banks, just escaped a huge test from the lowest ranked model, Andrea Orme. Uber-popular rookie Emily Ratajkowski won by an even narrower margin over her worthy opponent, Tori Praver. Plus, fellow rookie Hannah Ferguson has yet to make her appearance in the tournament. Yes, folks, Group 24 is still a wide open race!

For the third straight day, we have a clean sheet, as supermodel Cindy Crawford left nothing for not-supermodel Cynthia Korman. Not surprising, but still impressive nonetheless.

In what may have been the surprise result so far, Crystal Renn easily beat the higher-ranked Patricia Velasquez. That will surely affect Patricia’s ranking for next year. Finally, I have to note my utter displeasure at all of my favorite “lesser known” SI models taking it on the chin in these matches. Manon von Gerkan and her amazing eyes lost, Michelle Lombardo and her amazing boobs lost, and Tori Praver and her amazingly toned body lost. Ugh. Sad day for me.

Today’s results are in! (albeit a little later than usual)

Group 37

Josie Maran (100.0%) defeated Marilyn Tindall (0.0%)

Margaux Hemingway (88.9%) defeated Ann Simonton (11.1%)

Group 38

Janelle Fishman (84.2%) defeated Navia Nguyen (15.8%)

Hannah Davis (86.4%) defeated Kim Lemanton (13.6%)

Group 39

Ingrid Seynhaeve (61.1%) defeated Tamara Spoelder (38.9%)

Group 23

Stacey Williams (100.0%) defeated Hina Tama (0.0%)

Ann Peterson (61.1%) defeated Dayle Haddon (38.9%)

My spin:

Yesterday, we had our first clean sheet, as Genevieve Morton didn’t allow Kirby Griffin to take a single vote. Today, we have an amazing two more! Josie Maran and Stacey Williams both shutout their opposition to join the ranks of the perfect. But, both of these were far less shocking than Genevieve’s domination of Kirby Griffin, because both Josie’s and Stacey’s opponents were older “throwback” models that tend not to fare well in this competition. (Again, I could go on about society’s changing tastes in beauty but I won’t!) Nonetheless, a perfect match is a perfect match, and that’s quite a feat.

As far as the other matches go, again not too many surprises here. Frankie Rayder, Ingrid Seynhaeve, and Hannah Davis all had easy wins, but Ingrid’s was maybe a bit closer than expected. My darkhorse candidate for Group 38? Janelle Fishman, who got over 84% of the vote against Navia Nguyen. Janelle will eventually have to face off against Hannah Davis, though, and that match will probably decide first place in that group.

Group 35

Group 22

Elsa Benitez (90.5%) defeated Kenza Fourati (9.5%)

Aline Nakashima (78.9%) defeated Michelle Alves (21.1%)

My spin:

Yesterday, we had our first draw, and today we have the first perfect vote, as Genevieve Morton becomes the first to have a cleat sheet. What is most surprising about this is that Genevieve had a decent opponent in Kirby Griffin. Kirby won one match over Lorraine Pascale and took 46% of the vote in her match against Hannah Davis in the Qualifying Round of last year’s tournament. So, for her to get 0% is a real shocker to me. Great job to Genevieve, I guess!

In another impressive performance, Aline Nakashima took out Michelle Alves and got over 78% of the vote in the process. Aline has a tough chore to beat out Elsa Benitez for first place in her group, but this is certainly an impressive start.

Today’s results are in!

Group 31

Chandra North (83.3%) defeated Kathryn Redding (16.7%)

Amber Smith (70.6%) defeated Kadra Ahmed Omar (29.4%)

Group 32

Jessica White (70.6%) defeated Mary Sturdevant (29.4%)

Vanessa Lorenzo (87.5%) defeated Sheila Roscoe (12.5%)

Group 33

Jenna de Rosnay (58.8%) defeated Pania Rose (41.2%)

Angie Everhart (88.9%) defeated Caprice Bourret (11.1%)

Group 21

Nina Agdal (77.8%) defeated Reka Ebergenyi (22.2%)

Chanel Iman DREW WITH Sabrina Barnett (50%-50%)

My spin:

Well, there’s an oddity: a draw! Rookie Chanel Iman and two-time SI model Sabrina Barnett couldn’t be separated, and the voting ended completely even. For their efforts, each receive one point in the standings. The one point will help, but it’s going to be an uphill battle displacing Nina Agdal from the top spot. Nina had an easy victory, but her 77.8% of the vote was a little less than I expected. A good show of support for her respectable opponent, Hungarian Reka Ebergenyi, was to blame.

Another notable result was Vanessa Lorenzo’s trouncing of the higher-ranked Sheila Roscoe. The “throwback” models from the 60s and early 70s historically haven’t performed as well in the tournament, and usually with good reason, since I think they are generally not as attractive as more recent SI selections. (One could delve into the changing definition of beauty and taste over time, but I won’t here!) Anyway, I thought Sheila, who was the 1972 covergirl, has a great look and was very cute. But, she was no match for Vanessa, who appeared in SI 30 years after her.

Finally, two more notable results in Group 33: Jenna de Rosnay edged out Pania Rose in what was predicted to be an even match and was. Angie Everhart had a very impressive win against decent opposition in Caprice Bourret, as Angie got nearly 90% of the vote. That performance certainly cements her as the favorite to win Group 33.

My spin:

Not much to say with these two lopsided matches! Most notable, perhaps, was that Natasha’s 95.8% tally is the 2nd-highest score so far in the 2014 tournament, eclipsed only by Marisa Miller’s 96.9% against Kathy Loghry.

Group 19

Ashley Richardson (94.7%) defeated Paulette Kieon (5.3%)

Noemie Lenoir (57.9%) defeated Yasmin Brunet (42.1%)

My spin:

Ashley Richardson was lucky enough to get slotted in the group with the lowest ranked SI Swimsuit model of all-time, Paulette Kieon. Now, there’s a distinction, huh? Lowest ranked in the history of SI Swimsuit models. Ah, well, at least Paulette was in the issue, which only 234 can claim. Anyway, Ashley trounced her in this match. In the other one, which I thought was far more intriguing, Noemie Lenoir held on for a rather close victory over the blonde Yasmin Brunet. Nice win for Noemie.

Kristy Hinze (76.2%) defeated Ana Paula Lemes (23.8%)

My spin:

Well, my girl Dominique Piek almost pulled off the upset, but she came up just short against Molly Sims. I think that group is one of the toughest in the tournament, with Dominique, Molly, and Petra. Dominique can’t catch a break, as last year she was matched up against Cindy Crawford in the first round. Now, she draws a terribly difficult group this year. Thankfully for her, there are wild card entries into the Knockout Stage, so maybe Dominique can still advance that way, even if she can’t beat out the other SI legends in her group.

Bar Refaeli (82.6%) defeated Tanga Moreau (17.4%)

Izabel Goulart (75.0%) defeated Pixie Peterson (25.0%)

Group 15

Heidi Klum (87.5%) defeated Bernadette Swann (12.5%)

Lauren Mellor (82.6%) defeated Kylie Bax (17.4%)

My spin:

There are too many matches to comment on here, but I’m going to highlight those that are most interesting. My biggest shock was Lauren Mellor crushing Kylie Bax. Kylie had a strong showing in last year’s tourney, so she is no slouch. So, Lauren’s margin of victory is very impressive. Heidi Klum may not walk away with first place in the group so easily, after all. Besides that one, most played out according to expectations. The match between Lucia Dvorska and Jeisa Chiminazzo was very close. Lucia was one of the cinderellas in the 2013 tournament, so she was favored, but Jeisa gave her all that she could handle. Personally, I voted for Jeisa, who I don't think gets enough recognition for her SI hotness!

Another important note:

I have figured out what I think is the best way to work around the polling issues, which are now resolved. I'm worried that the system stored that people responded but didn't store their responses. In other words, the system may think you have already voted, but it didn't count that vote (or the vote was lost).

To avoid this, I'm going to leave the old matches/polls up there, but I'm also going to create brand new polls for the matches that were affected. I will post a few "repost" matches in with the new daily matches from here on out, and people can vote again. I will tabulate the results from both and easily filter duplicates.

By the end of a week or so of doing this, we'll be all caught up again.

Thanks for your patience while this happened. Usually this poll provider rocks, but this was an isolated incident.

It might be a silly question but If it says "thank you for voting" when we click on the poll (without giving options), does that mean it's got our vote already or just that it just thinks it has because of a cookie/cookies? Do we need to delete cookies before voting or has it got our vote already (though at some point it wasn't counting votes) if it just says "thank you for voting"?

It should have your votes, but I have decided to end the possibility of the poll system screwing us anymore. I will be reposting the matches that are gummed up and recreating the polls themselves, so they'll be like completely new polls to the system. Plan is to add a couple of "repost" matches to the end of the new daily matches. By about a week or so, we'll be all caught up again with brand new polls.

It's the best way I can figure out to work around the issues that were caused by the poll system. Too bad they happened, but the system is usually great. I love it, ordinarily, but this time it got all messed up for us!

Important!!

The poll provider fixed their problem. That’s the good news. The bad news is that votes for the past few days were not counted. They started counting again early this morning. So, to ensure we have a fair voting…

Please vote (again if you already did) for each of the matches below. Don’t worry about whether you voted before. If they are duplicates, they’ll get filtered out, so go ahead and vote. I’ll extend the end date on these if I have to, to ensure we have enough votes to properly count.

Sorry for the inconvenience. It’s annoying, I know!

Thanks.

There is an issue with the poll provider's results page after they performed server maintenance yesterday. The polls are all collecting, but I can't see the results. Yeah, an inability to see results from a poll makes a poll service difficult to use.

I contacted their support last night, and they expect to have it fixed within 24 hours. Until it is fixed, I won't be able to post any results.

But, at least I was still able to create new polls and keep the voting going with new matches. Now, hopefully it doesn't take weeks to fix.

Thanks!
