Group StageGroup 74:Samantha Hoopes (73.8%) defeated Karen Alexander (26.2%)Group 4:(4) Nina Agdal (96.1%) defeated Carmen Luisa Vela (3.9%)Group 2:(2) Marisa Miller (96.1%) defeated Irina Pantaeva (3.9%) My spin:Two of the top four models were in action, and both won by identical margins. So, Nina and Marisa rolled, as expected. Samantha Hoopes also won comfortably against Karen Alexander, which keeps things in line with a likely showdown against Kate Bock for the group title.Current Group Stage Standings/Tables: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alluringbeauties Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Michelle Vawer is Canadian Thanks. I have her down as an American. From her official page, it says she was born in Vancouver, raised in Hawaii. So, she does sound Canadian. How come nobody questioned this fact in the past three years?

From her official page, it says she was born in Vancouver, raised in Hawaii. So, she does sound Canadian. How come nobody questioned this fact in the past three years? She does seem to self-identify as an American. I've read a few interviews now where she refers to herself as a Hawaiian. I have yet to hear her even reference Canada. I see another EmRata debate coming. Ultimately, EmRata was correctly settled as American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grievous Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 There are so many models that are obviously not even going to win one or two rounds. What are your thoughts on not including them next year to save time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alluringbeauties Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 There are so many models that are obviously not even going to win one or two rounds. What are your thoughts on not including them next year to save time? My thoughts are exactly that, actually. I want to include all the models, but I'm going to probably go back to the qualifying tournament style or something similar, like I did in Year 1. That would make some of the lower regarded models face one another rather than the likes of Paulette Kieon getting smoked by Nina Agdal.

alluringbeauties Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Today’s results are in! Group StageGroup 25:(25) Rebecca Romijn (93.9%) defeated Tanga Moreau (6.1%)Group 22:(22) Emily Ratajkowski (87.1%) defeated Kadra Ahmed Omar (12.9%)Group 38:Alicia Hall (60.1%) defeated Jean Pelton (39.9%)Group 43:Sonia Dara (55.7%) defeated Reka Ebergenyi (44.3%)Group 36:Hilary Rhoda (88.3%) defeated Lena Kansbod (11.7%)Group 8:Britta Dubbels (84.7%) defeated Micheline Lee (15.3%) My spin:Sonia Dara lost her first match to Chrissy Teigen, but she bounced back to beat Reka Ebergenyi in her second match. On the surface, the win would seems to have kept Sonia’s hopes of advancing alive. But, in reality, she's still eliminated, since Chrissy would have to lose to Reka and do so by a large margin. But, if that happened, then Reka would advance. So, Sonia is out, despite her victory!All other results were as expected.

alluringbeauties Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 That's just it. A lot of these models just aren't going to go anywhere in the tournament. Leave them out entirely. I certainly understand that point of view, but there are a couple of factors at play. First, that cutoff point is actually pretty difficult to determine. If you cut it off at 64 models, for example, then you'd be leaving out a huge number of models that could win matches. Could the #72 ranked model win the whole tournament? Probably not. But, they could certainly threaten anyone. (Izabel Goulart is the #72 model this year, for example.) If the cutoff becomes 128, then it's easier, but the same principle still applies. You'd be leaving out models like Kylie Bax and Manon Von Gerkan, for example. Neither is a real threat to win 6-7 times, but they can win a match or two and affect the tournament. The other factor at play is that I like to ensure all SI models are in this just to give them a chance. The lower ranked models will never beat Marisa Miller, of course. But, I think seeing how they fare against someone else is interesting in and of itself. Thanks for the feedback and discussion. Really appreciate the interaction.

alluringbeauties Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Today’s results are in! Group StageGroup 77:Michelle Vawer (84.3%) defeated Babette March (15.7%)Group 56:Damaris Lewis (62.6%) defeated Suzy Smith (37.4%)Group 26:Yvonne Sylvander (92.4%) defeated Rosie de la Cruz (7.6%) My spin:Hawaiian/Canadian Michelle Vawer rolled over the first SI covergirl, Babette March. Surprisingly, Yvonne Sylvander also got more than 90% of the vote against Rosie de la Cruz. Their rankings are 186 & 197, respectively, so I’d have expected a closer match. Also, this was Yvonne’s first career tournament victory - against 5 losses.Current Group Stage Standings/Tables: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela Lindvall remains the front runner in the group, but the winner of the final group match, between Carre Otis and Angela Lindvall, will determine the group’s winner.Other results were as expected. Karen Mulder had little trouble with Roberta Little (pun intended), and Chandra North easily came out on top against Roshumba Williams.Current Group Stage Standings/Tables: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
