2015 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament

[alluringbeauties]

Today’s results are in!
 
Group Stage

Group 11:
(11) Paulina Porizkova (100.0%) defeated Gail O’Neill (0.0%)
Group 33:
Alyssa Miller (66.8%) defeated Quiana Grant (33.2%)
Group 10:
(10) Irina Shayk (88.6%) defeated Louise Vyent (11.4%)
 
My spin:
No surprises again today, but Paulina Porizkova became the first to record a clean sheet in the 2015 tournament, as she earned 100% of the vote against Gail O’Neill. Gail was ranked #238 coming in, which is third worst amongst all models in the tournament. So, Paulina’s clean sheet is not too surprising.

Group 31:

Group 53:
Ana Paula Lemes (54.7%) defeated Janelle Fishman (45.3%)
Group 66:
Marloes Horst (70.9%) defeated Maggie Smith (29.1%)
 
My spin:
I had Ana Paula Lemes as the long shot chandidate in Group 53, but she finds herself one win away from a group title after knocking off Janelle Fishman. Ana Paula will need to beat rookie Ashley Smith to claim first place in the group.

Jessica Gomes easily beat a personal crush of mine, Manon Von Gerkan. Sadly, Manon now has one foot out the tournament exit door.

Group 77:

My spin:
No surprises in the final results today, but there was a mild surprise in vote percentage. Personally, I’m shocked that Dominique Piek didn’t get more of the vote against Samantha Jones. After all, Samantha’s only SI Swimsuit photo was of her fully covered in a raincoat! So, nearly 12% of voters must be from London or Seattle.

Because I missed yesterday’s matches, it’s double the fun today. There are some interestng ones in here, especially perhaps Lily Aldridge vs. old school supermodel Naomi Campbell.

My spin:
I had to double up the results today, since I didn’t have a chance to report yesterday’s three winners. There were no surprises in the results, but I do find it interesting how many Kate Upton detractors there seem to be out there. Kate didn’t manage 70% of the vote against Charissa Craig, who is ranked #226.

I had to catch up from yesterday, so here’s another batch of six matches! Many SI titans are in this batch, including Bar Refaeli, Heidi Klum, and Kathy Ireland. But, I think there are some potential upsets in here, too!

Group 75:

Group 30:
Esti Ginzburg (91.4%) defeated Jenny Brunt (8.6%)
 
My spin:
Today’s results saw the two extremes: a clean sheet by Elle Macpherson and a draw between Melissa Keller and Mallory Snyder.

First, I’ll make note of Elle’s blanking of Kathy Loghry. Poor Kathy never stood a chance against Elle’s see-through swimsuit. Meanwhile, the matchup of Melissa vs. Mallory was the most even so far in terms of ranking, as the #106 and #119 models faced each other. That manifested itself in a draw, so the door is open for Ana Beatriz Barros, their group mate, to capitalize.

Other matches went as expected, with especially impressive performances by Esti Ginzburg and Yesica Toscanini.

Group 79:

Group 1:
(1) Bar Refaeli (92.7%) defeated Jane Gill (7.3%)
 
My spin:
Lots to talk about here! Let’s start with the shocker: Eva Herzigova needed a late rally to draw with Irina Gerasimenko. Or is it a shocker? Reference my tournament preview post: “Watch out for Irina, who may get more support than you’d imagine.” Yup, I called that. All is not lost for Eva, as she can still advance to the Knockout Stage with a convincing win over rookie Robyn Lawley. But, then again, Irina is in the exact same boat!

The other winners were not surprises, but some of the margins of victory were. Shirley Mallmann had a tough time with 1980 one-timer Jocelyn Javits. Heidi Klum, the 9th ranked model, didn’t completely dominate Barbara Minty. The #7 seed, Kathy Ireland, certainly dominated, though, coming up with a clean sheet against Anna Getaneh. Finally, I’ll leave you with this note: over 7% of the voters liked a sweater-clad Jane Gill over #1 Bar Refaeli. Are there some Bar haters out there?

Group 26:
Lucia Dvorska (80.1%) defeated Rosie de la Cruz (19.9%)
 
My spin:
No surprises today. Josie Maran continued where she left off in the 2014 tournament, as she rolled over her opposition. Josie’s only two career losses have been to #14 Hannah Ferguson and #4 Nina Agdal. So, Josie will not be an easy out from the 2015 tourney!

My spin:
Aline Nakashima impressively prevailed over Malia Jones to take the lead in Group 68. She’ll face Molly Sims next, and a win over Molly will send her on to the Knockout Stage. The favorites held as expected in the other two matches today.
