Group 52:
Erin Heatherton (95.6%) defeated Lorraine Pascale (4.4%)
Group 76:
Aurelie Claudel (79.1%) defeated Lana Ogilvie (20.9%)
 
My spin:
Jessica Hart got her first career victory, but she’ll face a huge challenge next: #6 Petra Nemcova for the group title. Rookie Erin Heatherton rolled in her first career match, and the win sets up an epic battle between Erin and Natasha Barnard for their group title and the right to advance to the Knockout Stage. Finally, Aurelie Claudel easily defeated Lana Ogilvie and sets up a match against Valerie van der Graaf for the group title.

Group 61:
Yasmin Brunet (65.1%) defeated Michelle Alves (34.9%)
 
My spin:
Jessica Van Der Steen’s victory sets her up for a match against Shirley Mallmann for her group title. Group 61 is all Brazilian, and Yasmin Brunet’s win eliminates Michelle Alves and sets up a showdown with Izabel Goulart for the Little Brazil group title. Finally, Beri Smither rebounded from her opening loss to Judit Masco, but her win still isn’t enough to keep her from being eliminated. Yvette Sylvander got saddled with this loss, but she still has a chance to advance if she gets more than 65.6% of the vote in her match against Judit Masco.

Group Stage

Group 75:
Ana Beatriz Barros (68.0%) defeated Mallory Snyder (32.0%)
Group 51:
Valeria Mazza (76.6%) defeated Bridget Hall (23.4%)
Group 3:
#3 Elle Macpherson (81.9%) defeated Renee Simonsen (18.1%)
#3 Elle Macpherson advances to the Knockout Stage
 
My spin:
Tickets to the Knockout Stage will be punched every day until the Group Stage is over, and today’s ticket holder is The Body, #3 Elle Macpherson. Elle had an easy time with Renee Simonsen and advances to the Second Round of the Knockout Stage by virtue of her ranking. Renee performed admirably, but she was just no match for The Body.

In other matches, the last match of the 2nd round robin cycle in the Group Stage was won by Ana Beatriz Barros, as she took care of Mallory Snyder a lot more easily than I would have predicted. Ana Beatriz will face Melissa Keller, who played to a draw with Mallory, to decide who moves on to the Knockout Stage.

The third match today was one of the rare meaningless ones, as Group 51 was already won by Monica Bellucci.  Nonetheless, Valeria Mazza will likely improve her ranking for 2016 after her victory over Bridget Hall. One strange fact: Valeria Mazza actually ended up ahead of Monica Bellucci in total vote percentage, but that doesn’t change the outcome!

Group Stage

Group 44:
Laetitia Casta (64.1%) defeated Yesica Toscanini (35.9%)
Laetitia Casta advances to the Knockout Stage
Group 50:
Kim Cloutier (52.5%) defeated Hailey Clauson (47.5%)
Kim Cloutier advances to the Knockout Stage
Group 34:
Stacey Williams (60.1%) defeated Rita Tellone (39.9%)
Stacey Williams advances to the Knockout Stage
 
My spin:
Three more tickets to the Knockout Stage were punched. The best match was Kim Cloutier’s narrow victory over rookie sensation Hailey Clauson. Kim improves to 11-2 in her tournament career. Despite Kim’s past successes, I thought Hailey would knock her off in this match, given Hailey’s popularity. But, Kim prevailed again to advance. She’ll be an extremely tough match for anyone. Kim’s only two tournament losses were in 2013 to then-#5 Yamila Diaz-Rahi and in 2014 to then-#6 Daniela Pestova! Kim’s most likely opponent in her first match is Jessica Gomes, but beyond that, it’s possible that Kate Upton looms. Should be interesting.

Laetitia Casta advanced rather easily over Yesica Toscanini, and she’ll move on to the Knockout Stage, as expected. Laetitia will face the winner of Estella Warren/Rachel Roberts in her first Knockout Stage match, so she’ll be the clear favorite against either one. Beyond that match, a possible match with #7 Kathy Ireland would be next, which would also be awesome!

Finally, Stacey Williams put it in cruise control and prevailed over Rita Tellone to advance to the Knockout Stage, as well. Stacey will face either Isabeli Fontana or Suzy Smith in her first match, and #2 Marisa Miller is a possible opponent in her next one.

Group 4:

#4 Nina Agdal advances to the Knockout Stage
 
My spin:
It was heavyweight day. As in, the heavyweights of SI Swimsuit were in action. #2 Marisa Miller and #4 Nina Agdal both advanced to the Knockout Stage with their victories, and both are favorites to go a long way. The third ticket to the Knockout Stage was earned by a surprising Noemie Lenoir, who pulled off an upset of Jeisa Chiminazzo to win Group 55.

Group 10:
#10 Irina Shayk (72.1%) defeated Dayle Haddon (27.9%)
#10 Irina Shayk advances to the Knockout Stage
 
My spin:
Lujan Fernandez won a very close match over Bregje Heinen, and she advances to the Knockout Stage and will face Ana Paula Lemes in the First Round. The winner of that match will face the Group 1 winner, which is either Bar Refaeli or Tori Praver.

The other two matches went exactly as expected, as #10 Irina Shayk and #16 Cintia Dicker both won easily to advance to the Knockout Stage.

Group 23:
#23 Julie Henderson & Kylie Bax drew (50.0% each)
Kylie Bax advances to the Knockout Stage
Group 42:
Raica Oliveira (58.9%) defeated Angie Everhart (41.1%)
Raica Oliveira advances to the Knockout Stage
Group 40:
Cindy Crawford (69.7%) defeated Shakara Ledard (30.3%)
Cindy Crawford advances to the Knockout Stage
 
My spin:
The first big news item is #23 Julie Henderson’s struggle with Kylie Bax. The match voting went back and forth and ended in a draw. So, both models get a point in the standings and end up tied with 4 points. By virtue of her better overall vote percentage, Kylie Bax advances to the Knockout Stage and Julie Henderson becomes the first seeded model to be eliminated from the 2015 tournament. Kylie’s first opponent in the Knockout Stage (Second Round) will be either Yamila Diaz-Rahi or Ana Paula Araujo.

The next upset was the favored Angie Everhart losing to Raica Oliveira. Raica came in ranked #127 and had a mediocre 3-4 career tournament record, but she garnered enough support to knock off Angie. So, it’s Raica that advances to the Knockout Stage. Raica’s draw brings her into a Second Round match against the Group 21 winner, either Josie Maran or Kirby Griffin.

The last match was less shocking, as supermodel Cindy Crawford prevailed rather easily against a very topless Shakara Ledard. So, Cindy moves on to the Knockout Stage, and her First Round match will be against either Gigi Hadid or Carol Alt.

Group 14:

#14 Hannah Ferguson advances to the Knockout Stage

My spin:
I was away and got caught up on these nine matches. Lots to talk about, but I’ll keep it to the notable results. First, Natasha Barnard beating rookie Erin Heatherton so handily was a surprise for me. I thought it might be very close. Second, Michelle Behennah and her wonderful butt almost pulled off an upset against Juliana Martins, but the two ended in a draw. Juliana advances because of a better overall vote percentage. Finally, there were two more clean sheets, as Elsa and Anne V advanced.

Rose Bertram advances to the Knockout Stage
Group 65:
Lauren Mellor (63.1%) defeated Lily Aldridge (36.9%)
Lauren Mellor advances to the Knockout Stage

My spin:
Lots of interesting matches to comment on, but the most interesting was perhaps the rookie taking out the supermodel, as Rose Bertram knocked off Rachel Hunter. The voluptuous rookie is one of my sleeper picks, and I think she can go very far in the tournament.

Covergirl Lily Aldridge got knocked out of the tourney, too, after her loss to Lauren Mellor. Meanwhile, fellow covergirl Carolyn Murphy just narrowly squeaked by the very formidable Shannan Click to advance to the Knockout Stage. Similarly, Rachel Roberts lost her second close match and is eliminated, while victor Estella Warren moves on to the Knockout Stage.

Finally, the heavy favorites won easily, as #13 Hannah Davis and #15 Kate Upton had no trouble with their opponents.
