Model Focus - Emily Ratajkowski Emily has lost all five of the matches she has played in this tournament and is the highest ranked of the models with no wins, so today I'm going to try out a feature I've been thinking about for a while - Pressure Drop. As models can usually only drop one tier a month, this will hopefully be a way to drop unpopular models down the rankings if they have lost a certain number of consecutive matches. I'll explain more later, but first let's look at the run of form that has left Emily in this position.

I think you're right. Candice and Lais both had periods where they won everything, and would have dominated this competition in their day. I wasn't expecting Hannah to do the same, but if she's the most popular model right now then she deserves all the titles she gets!

Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll have a think about it. Part of the idea of the competition was to have a constantly updating list of the most popular models, so I was expecting some repeat wins, but maybe not the dominance that Hannah has had. In a way I quite like it, and she won't win forever (surely?). Equally I don't want it to get boring. One option I've been thinking about is having 6 models in each tier (so 151 in total) and then having the Champion enter in the semi-final. I'll carry on like this for a bit and see what people think.

Tier 9 Yulia Rose V Elizabeth Turner Daniela Lopez Osorio V Kelsey Merritt Valeria Rudenko V Hanna Edwinson Emily Ratajkowski V Alina Kirchiu

Model Focus - Daniela Lopez Osorio Daniela hasn't picked up a win yet in this competition. Maybe May will be her month, although she'll have to overcome the on-form Kelsey Merritt. Matches Played Vita Sidorkina L 3 8 Carmella Rose L 4 8 Clara Alonso L 3 7 Celine Farach L 7 11

I hadn't worked out exactly what sort of end of year titles would be awarded or how they would be decided; whether it would just be whoever got the most Model of the Month titles, or based on average positions or whatever. now it seems like it doesn't matter, there's no way that Hannah isn't going to be the Model Of The Year!

If it's a tie they stay in the tier they were in - so in the Tanya V Rosie match Rosie was the 'Challenger' from Tier 12 and stays in Tier 12. Tanya was in Tier 11and stays in Tier 11, which means she plays the next day when Tier 11 challenge Tier 10. The positions within each tier are determined by the score in the model's last match, so the tie makes Rosie top of Tier 12 and Tanya bottom of Tier 11. (Oh, and it's always the higher tier model on the left in the matchups, so the name on the left will always be the one going through if it's a tie)

Model Focus - Alexina Graham Alexina sits top of Tier 10 with a reasonable win percentage, although she has finished in Tier 9 before. She's already played Alina, Robin and Tanya, so she'll be up against Elizabeth Turner next round.

Model Focus - Gigi Paris Gigi has been dropping down the rankings, as have most of Tier 11. She's had some tough matches though, so maybe she'll pick up a win soon. Matches Played Jasmine Tookes L 4 7 Rosie Huntington-Whiteley D 5 5 Clara Alonso L 4 6 Hanna Edwinson L 4 10 Kelsey Merritt L 5 12
