Syria Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yes I know. And there are still many girls I like in the comp. But my personal favorites are pretty much out except for Sara.

alluringbeauties Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 19 hours ago, U.K. said: There could also be tie breaker rounds for when there are ties - like having one of the people in the tie have a poll where they compete with someone who the other person has already competed against but they haven't. If they have a higher score than the person they were tied with did against that person - they advance. Good idea, but that's essentially what the average vote percentage does. It measures their performance against the common opponents that year. I could take it a step further, as you suggest, and actually create a new match using someone's common opponent from a prior year. Sounded intriguing, but then I got to thinking about it: Let's say this happened with Amber and Monika, as it did. To create a new tiebreaker match, I could create one between Amber Smith and Hina Tama, since Monika had faced Hina in 2014. When fans of Monika voted, knowing it was a tiebreaker match and the implications that every vote in favor of Amber vs. Hina counts against Monika, they would vote for Hina even though they'd never actually do that if it were a "straight up" match. So, it almost becomes an "Amber vs. Monika by proxy of Hina" match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alluringbeauties Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Somehow, I neglected to post official results for a batch of six a few days ago. They were on my site in the matches list, so those curious could have gone to see these results a few days ago. But, I had never posted the official results and my commentary, of course! So, here they are! I have also updated the Group Standings and Knockout Stage brackets accordingly. Group Stage Group 43: Chrissy Teigen (53.0%) defeated Reka Ebergenyi (47.0%)Chrissy Teigen advances to the Knockout Stage Group 80: Jenna de Rosnay (69.3%) defeated Veronica Blume (30.7%)Jenna de Rosnay advances to the Knockout Stage Group 19: #19 Christie Brinkley (73.4%) defeated Cris Urena (26.6%)#19 Christie Brinkley advances to the Knockout Stage Group 79: Jessica Van Der Steen (89.6%) defeated Shirley Mallmann (10.4%)Jessica Van Der Steen advances to the Knockout Stage Group 37: Daniella Sarahyba (76.6%) defeated Jessica White (23.4%)Daniella Sarahyba advances to the Knockout Stage Group 58: Robyn Lawley (56.6%) defeated Eva Herzigova (43.4%)Robyn Lawley advances to the Knockout Stage My spin: Lots to comment on in this “forgotten” batch of results. First, let me start by acknowledging the accomplishment of rookie Robyn Lawley, who dispatched of Czech supermodel Eva Herzigova in a close match and moved on to the Knockout Stage. Personally, I don’t find Robyn very attractive, and it has nothing to do with her “plus size” categorization. I think there are 150-200 SI models that I’d vote for before her. But, this competition is about you the voters, not me, and you voted Robyn! Let me also comment on the lack of support for one of my personal favorites, Eva Herzigova. I think she’s in my top 20 favorite SI models, but she has struggled quite a bit through the three years of this tournament. She falls to 5-3-1 in her nine matches and has an AVP of just barely over 50%, and she actually finished in last place in her group this year. So, the rest of the voters clearly don’t put Eva in the class that I do. That’s what makes this fun, though! Next up for discussion: the polarizing Chrissy Teigen. Chrissy seems to have her lovers and her haters. But, there were enough lovers in the voting community to eek her past Hungarian model Reka Ebergenyi and into the Knockout Stage. In Group 80, Jenna de Rosnay continued to perform quite well in these tournaments, as she beat Veronica Blume, advanced to the Knckout Stage, and improved to 7-2 in her tournament career with an AVP of 61.0%. In Group 37, Daniella Sarahyba won the bodypaint battle against Jessica White rather easily. Daniella improved to 7-2-1 in her tournament career, and Jessica fell to a very lackluster 2-3-2 in her career. Two wins in seven career matches for someone with eight appearances in the SI Swimsuit issue! Finally, I’ll note the impressive wins by #19 Christie Brinkley and Jessica Van Der Steen. Christie’s was expected, but Jessica’s wasn’t necessarily so. Certainly, her margin of victory over a very worthy opponent is surprising.

alluringbeauties Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Today’s results are in! Newest matches are in the post above. Group Stage Group 53: Ashley Smith (56.6%) defeated Janelle Fishman (43.4%) Group 5: #5 Brooklyn Decker (80.1%) defeated Oluchi Onweagba (19.9%)#5 Brooklyn Decker advances to the Knockout Stage Group 68: Molly Sims (61.0%) defeated Malia Jones (39.0%)Molly Sims advances to the Knockout Stage My spin: One of the tournament’s favorites, #5 Brooklyn Decker, advanced easily with her win over Oluchi Onweagba. As predicted, Oluchi’s greatest assets played no part in the outcome because Brooklyn has equal or greater assets! SI stalwart Molly Sims also advanced after a close-ish win over Malia Jones, and rookie Ashley Smith got her first career tournament victory after knocking off Janelle Fishman. Ashley’s group was already clinched by Ana Paula Lemes, so there will be no more 2015 matches for Ashley.

alluringbeauties Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Today’s results are in! Group Stage Group 57: Kristy Hinze (77.4%) defeated Sarah O’Hare (22.6%)Kristy Hinze advances to the Knockout Stage Group 38: Ashley Richardson (76.3%) defeated Alicia Hall (23.4%)Ashley Richardson advances to the Knockout Stage Group 22: #22 Emily Ratajkowski (68.9%) defeated Jessica Perez (31.1%)#22 Emily Ratajkowski advances to the Knockout Stage My spin: Emily Ratajkowski had the most impressive win of the day, as she easily beat Jessica Perez in a match that I thought had some upset potential. As it is, Emily moves on to the Knockout Stage, where she’ll face Anne Vyalitsyna in her first match. If she gets by Anne V, then it will likely setup a clash of the titans early on in the tournament bracket: Emily vs. #5 Brooklyn Decker. Kristy Hinze’s victory over fellow Aussie Sarah O’Hare was also impressive, as she won by a huge margin and will face the Rookie of the Year, Kelly Rohrbach, in the First Round of the Knockout Stage. Finally, Ashley Richardson dispensed of Alicia Hall very easily, and she moves on to face Molly Sims in the First Round. The winner gets the privilege of matching up against #4 Nina Agdal.

alluringbeauties Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Today’s results are in! Group Stage Group 30: Esti Ginzburg (54.3%) defeated Solveig Mork (45.7%)Esti Ginzburg advances to the Knockout Stage Group 60: Louise Forsling (57.2%) defeated Estelle Lefebure (42.8%)Louise Forsling advances to the Knockout Stage Group 17: #17 Genevieve Morton (76.1%) defeated Kenza Fourati (23.9%)#17 Genvieve Morton advances to the Knockout Stage My spin: The match of the day was Esti Ginzburg vs. Danish rookie Solveig Mork. Solveig was right with Esti for most of the voting, but in the end, Esti got just enough support to knock off the rookie. Louise Forsling came into the tournament with a losing record, but she took advantage of a favorable draw and rode her way into the Knockout Stage. She’ll be the underdog in her match against Jenna de Rosnay, but it’s not impossible for her. Finally, Genevieve Morton took care of business, as expected, and she’ll face Daniella Sarahyba in the Second Round of the Knockout Stage.

Ingrid Seynhaeve, Samantha Hoopes, Carre Otis, and Michelle Vawer were all victors, but none of them got more than 52.5% of the vote! So, that means Julie Ordon, Kate Bock, Angela Lindvall, and Fernanda Tavares go home unhappy.

alluringbeauties Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 The final results of the Group Stage are now in, and the Knockout Stage is all ready to go!! Knockout Stage matches will be posted later tonight. From here, it’s win or go home! Group Stage Group 62: Emily DiDonato (78.4%) defeated Selita Ebanks (21.6%)Emily DiDonato advances to the Knockout Stage Group 41: Judit Masco (80.1%) defeated Yvette Sylvander (19.9%)Judit Masco advances to the Knockout Stage Group 18: Niki Taylor (61.6%) defeated #18 Vendela Kirsebom (38.4%)Niki Taylor advances to the Knockout Stage My spin: The big news of the day is the upset of #18 Vendela Kirsebom, who was toppled by supermodel Niki Taylor. Niki had struggled in past tournaments, but she also had tough draws. So, we knew she would probably give Vendela a tough match - or maybe even pull off an upset. I never predicted just how easy of a win she could have, though! Getting over 60% of the vote against the beautiful Vendela is an accomplishment. Perhaps more amazingly, Niki even beat Vendela in votes from Vendela’s native Sweden! In the other matches, Judit Masco and Emily DiDonato advanced easily and will enter the Knockout Stage with good momentum.

alluringbeauties Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 The first of the Knockout Stage results are in! Knockout Stage - First Round Elsa Benitez (67.8%) defeated Jessica Van Der Steen (21.6%)Elsa Benitez advances to the Second Round and will face #2 Marisa Miller Stephanie Seymour (66.8%) defeated Crystal Renn (33.2%)Stephanie Seymour advances to the Second Round and will face #13 Hannah Davis Aurelie Claudel (76.0%) defeated Lucia Dvorska (24.0%)Aurelie Claudel advances to the Second Round and will face #9 Heidi Klum Cindy Crawford (62.6%) defeated Gigi Hadid (37.4%)Cindy Crawford advances to the Second Round and will face #8 Veronica Varekova My spin: The biggest surprise of this first batch of matches was the beautiful Frenchwoman, Aurelie Claudel, dispatching of Lucia Dvorska very easily. Lucia had entered the match with a career record of 11-3, so Aurelie capturing more than 3/4 of the vote is very impressive. Aurelie moves on to setup a fascinating match against an SI legend, #9 Heidi Klum. Old School beat up on New School, as Cindy Crawford knocked off Gigi Hadid. Cindy moves on to face #8 Veronica Varekova, which should be another fascinating match. Stephanie Seymour & Elsa Benitez were both favored, and both advanced rather easily. Elsa will have a huge test against #2 Marisa Miller next, and Stephanie’s win sets up another Old School vs. New School match when she’ll face #13 Hannah Davis. Things are heating up in the tournament now! Current Knockout Stage Bracket: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
