Today's matches are now live, and voting for these matches is open through Oct 9. Use the links to vote, which will literally take about a second to do. Vote only once. If you think you found a way to vote multiple times, you didn't. Excess votes get filtered out, even if it appears they are being registered. Please respect that I'm doing this for the enjoyment of everyone, and don't make my life difficult filtering out results. Be fair, and vote once. Thank you for your understanding. Have fun with this and don't try to spoil it for everyone else. ------- Qualifying Draw - Round 2 Match #29: Barbro Ehn vs. Angela Lindvall Vote here: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=524b8fc9e4b07664a11a4328 Match #30: Aurelie Claudel vs. Kim Cloutier Vote here: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=524b8fdce4b07664a11a4329 Match #31: Monica Bellucci vs. Lucia Dvorska Vote here: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=524b8ff2e4b07664a11a432a Match #32: Apollonia van Ravenstein vs. Kylie Bax Vote here: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=524b9008e4b07664a11a432b

First of all, to the person trying to be clever and vote multiple times: it's not working. All of your votes for Shana Zadrick (and Kirby Griffin, and the others you did this for) counted as just one vote total. I appreciate your excitement about the tournament, but please don't make my life difficult and make me filter your duplicate votes. I'm just trying to do this for everyone's enjoyment, and I don't need extra work. One vote is counted, period, even if the polling system looks like it's accepting your multiple votes. So, I kindly ask you to stop doing that. Vote once only, please. Thank you! Anyway, on to the next results from the final round of qualifying: --------- Latest results: Michelle Lombardo - 57% Ana Paula Lemes - 43% Michelle Lombardo advances to the Main Draw to face #8 seed Veronica Varekova Shana Zadrick - 47% Melissa Baker - 53% Melissa Baker advances to the Main Draw to face #25 seed Vendela Kirsebom Beri Smither - 53% Marilyn Tindall - 47% Beri Smither advances to the Main Draw to face #9 seed Irina Shayk Brandi Quinones - 23% Lana Ogilvie - 77% Lana Ogilvie advances to the Main Draw to face #24 seed Tyra Banks The latest brackets and other info about the tournament are here.

One note of interest for those paying close attention: Due to an error in my calculations, Rachel Hunter was not credited with an appearance in 2003. So, the effects of this correction made her seed change, and it affected seeds #15-25 overall. Since we have not yet begun the Main Draw, I went ahead and corrected the brackets. No other seeds changed because of this, nor did any of the first round matches not involving seeds 15-25. Anyway, on to the first results from the final round of qualifying: Jenna de Rosnay - 77% Jamee Becker - 23% Jenna de Rosnay advances to the Main Draw to face #1 seed Kathy Ireland Cindy Crawford - 89% Julie Ordon - 11% Cindy Crawford advances to the Main Draw to face #32 seed Angie Everhart Shirley Mallmann - 15% Rachel Roberts - 85% Rachel Roberts advances to the Main Draw to face #16 seed Marisa Miller Sue Peterson - 64% Monika Schnarre - 36% Sue Peterson advances to the Main Draw to face #17 seed Petra Nemcova The latest brackets and other info about the tournament are here.

While we're in a lull for results (but not for active "votable" matches), I figured I'd give you all some thoughts from the tournament so far. This post is my attempt to get some discussion going. I love and appreciate the votes, but I'm wondering if peoples' thoughts match mine, too. So, I encourage replies. Don't be shy! Without further adieu, some musings... Biggest surprise so far: Jesse Sanders' 52%-48% victory over Andrea Orme - Andrea's only published photo in SI was of her swimming in a pool topless, with the photo showing a distorted view of what appears to be a very nice nipple. But, our voters were not impressed and voted 1965 model Jesse Sanders into the 2nd round. Honorable mention: Monique Moura de Carvalho's 100%-0% victory - The winner was not a surprise, but the unanimous result was. It might have been more about her opponent, Paulette Kieon, than it was about Monique. But, a unanimous victory is amazing, nonetheless. We'll see if things hold up in her favor with a much tougher test in the 2nd round, Vanessa Lorenzo. Ana Paula Lemes' 79%-21% victory over Quiana Grant - I thought these two were a lot closer than that, and I actually voted in favor of Quiana. But, I was clearly not in the majority! Natasha Barnard's 80%-20% victory over Emily DiDonato - Again, I thought these two 2013 rookies were a toss up, but nope! Natasha looks like a force to be reckoned with after smoking Emily. Closest Qualifying Draw 1st round match: There were four matches of 52%-48%: Shannan Click defeated Caprice Bourret Kim Lemanton defeated Louise Forsling Barbara Carrera defeated Pixie Petersen Jesse Sanders defeated Andrea Orme I thought the first two were going to be close, but I was very surprised to see the last two in the list also be so close. In the case of Sanders, I was very suprised at the result, too! Most lopsided Qualifying Draw 1st round match: Monique Moura de Carvalho 100%, Paulette Kieon 0% - I think that makes Paulette the "worst" of the SI Swimsuit models? Really, nobody voted for her. Nobody. I thought her matchup wasn't all that difficult, either. Still, she couldn't muster a vote. That's pretty crazy. Honorable mention: Juliana Martins 96%, Akure Wall 4% Alicia Hall 95%, Carla Maria 5% Monika Schnarre 94%, Hina Tama 6% We'll see how the biggest winners in Round 1 fare against stiffer competition in Round 2. That should be interesting. Most interesting Qualifying Draw 2nd round match: Shana Zadrick vs. Melissa Baker - Shana drew a bye in the first round, so it's difficult to tell what may happen. But, Shana and Melissa are both stunningly beautiful brunettes. I can't decide who I like better, myself! Honorable mention: Shannan Click vs. Carre Otis - Another battle where I don't even know who to vote for. Aurelie Claudel vs. Kim Cloutier - Again, two incredibly hot models. Is there a wrong choice? It'll be interesting to see who prevails. Most likely to threaten a seeded model in the Main Draw: Cindy Crawford - She's a supermodel, after all. Her SI appearances warranted her being in the Qualifying Draw, but she's better than most in this bracket. Assuming she advances to the Main Draw, she happens to face the lowest seeded model, #32 Angie Everhart. That will be interesting. Honorable mention: Michelle Vawer - I wasn't even sure she'd win her first round match, but she smoked Kenza Fourati in eye opening fashion. If she advances to the Main Draw, she will face #13 seed Ashley Richardson in a match that would scream "upset alert!" Luckiest Qualifying random draw: Angela Lindvall - Angela has a virtual cake walk into the Main Draw, in my opinion. She got 89% of votes in her first round match against Kathryn Redding, and now she faces 1970s model Barbro Ehn in the second round. Assuming she advances, things will get tougher in a hurry, though, as she'll face #6 seed Yamila Diaz in the first round of the Main Draw. Unluckiest Qualifying random draw: Dominique Piek - Dominique is incredibly hot, but she ran into a buzz saw by drawing Cindy Crawford in the first round of qualifying. With a different draw, I think she'd challenge for winning a couple of rounds in the Main Draw. I hope she gets better luck in next year's competition. What do you think? Discuss! Here's a link to the latest bracket, in case you would like to refresh your memory.
