#22 Kim Alexis and Bridget Hall will face each other in Round 2 of the Main Draw.
My spin: I thought Kylie had a great chance to become the 7th qualifier to topple a seeded model, but Kim showed some great backing and won quite easily. In the other match, an expected victory for Bridget occurred. Damaris is pretty, but she's almost a forgotten SI model. Kim has to be considered the favorite going into the Round 2 match with Bridget.
That's all for Round 1 of the Main Draw! New Round 2 matches are coming tomorrow!

Alright, Round 1 is officially history. Round 2 matches start tomorrow!! Here's the updated bracket at this point:
Now, for some thoughts and facts on Round 1… read and reply with yours!
There were 6 seeded models knocked out in Round 1:
- #11 Carol Alt, by Lucia Dvorska
- #20 Jessica White, by Kristy Hinze
- #27 Julie Henderson, by Kim Cloutier
- #28 Ana Beatriz Barros, by Hannah Davis
- #31 Jessica Gomes, by Shannan Click
- #32 Angie Everhart, by Cindy Crawford
Largest margin of victory:
1) #17 Petra Nemcova def. Sue Peterson, 91%-9%
2) #16 Marisa Miller def. Rachel Roberts, 90%-10%
3) #19 Stacey Williams def. Jenny Brunt, 89%-11%
Smallest margin of victory:
1-T) Ingrid Seynhaeve def. Jessica Perez, 51%-49%
1-T) #30 Kelly Emberg def. Kara Young, 51%-49%
1-T) Shannan Click def. #31 Jessica Gomes, 51%-49%
1-T) #4 Christie Brinkley def. Juliana Martins, 51%-49%
Biggest surprise of Round 1:
Winner - Lucia Dvorska and her win over #11 seed, and supermodel, Carol Alt. I didn't see that one coming! Lucia had a fairly easy time in her two Qualifying Draw victories, but I didn't think she had the support to pull off an upset like she did.
Honorable mention - #1 Kathy Ireland's close 53%-47% victory over qualifier Jenna de Rosnay. The surprise here isn't the result, but rather it is the fact that Kathy was stretched to the limit in Round 1.
Most interesting upcoming Round 2 matches:
There are lots of them, but I'll limit my choices to three.
1) #5 Daniela Pestova vs. Nina Agdal - Daniela is obviously in the upper eschelon of SI models, but the only thing Nina lacks at this point is experience. She has the potential to end up as one of the top SI models, too.
2) Cindy Crawford vs. Laetitia Casta - Cindy came from the Qualifying Draw because of her limited SI experiences, but she really isn't in that class. She's a supermodel and will face another supermodel in Laetitia in Round 2.
3) #2 Cheryl Tiegs vs. Genevieve Morton - I honestly don't know what to expect from this match. It could be a lopsided win for Cheryl, or it could be very close. Neither result will surprise me in the least! The answer may come down to how much credit the voters give to Cheryl's many SI accomplishments, because there is no doubt that, on paper, Cheryl's accomplishments in SI far outweigh Genevieve's.
Comment with your thoughts. I'm interested to hear what people think.

#1 Kathy Ireland and Laetitia Casta will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: #1 seed Kathy had a much closer than expected Round 1 match, but there was no such trouble in Round 2, as Lujan never stood a chance in this one. The other match was far more interesting, with two supermodels going back and forth, voting close the whole way. In the end, Laetitia prevailed, knocking Cindy out of this year's tournament. As far as the Round 3 matchup goes, I have no idea who will win that one! Again, two titans going at it. Laetitia certainly has the potential to kock off the #1 seed.

#16 Marisa Miller and #17 Petra Nemcova will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Chrissy had a very tough Round 2 assignment, and I think she may have advanced a little further if she had a different draw. Both of the seeded models had no trouble advancing to Round 3, where they'll be the first two seeded models to go head-to-head in this year's tournament. Both also enter Round 3 after having trounced their competition to this point, so it'll be very interesting to see who comes out on top.

#8 Veronica Varekova and #25 Vendela Kirsebom will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Both seeded models prevailed against good competition, and it sets up a great Round 3 matchup between the buxom Czech, Veronica, and the hot blonde Swede, Vendela. Vendela is one of my all-time favorite SI models, but I wouldn't know how to predict a winner of this match!

#9 Irina Shayk and Chandra North will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: The voluptuous Tyra goes down in Round 2 of the tournament, getting bounced at the hands of Chandra. Impressive win for Chandra, and she'll look to make it two in a row over seeded models as she faces Irina, the #9 seed in Round 3. Irina has had a lot of support during the tournament, so it will be a tough chore to beat her.

Josie Maran and #29 Elsa Benitez will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Josie pulled off the upset of the tournament so far, as she pretty easily knocked off the #4 seed, Christie. Christie was vulnerable this whole tournament, as she almost lost in Round 1 to qualifier Juliana Martins. Very disappointing for her. Josie moves on to face Elsa, who had a tough struggle with Yasmeen. Josie has the potential to knock off another seeded model here, too.

#13 Ashley Richardson and Kristy Hinze will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Kristy has come from the Qualifying Draw to secure a place amongst the 32 models who will compete in Round 3. Manon proved to be a tough match, but Kristy came out on top. In the other match, it was a surprisingly easy victory for #13 seed Ashley. I thought Michelle and her amazing butt would have given Ashley more trouble, but the voters have proven otherwise!

Nina Agdal and Hannah Davis will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Poor Daniela. Our hot #5 seed had the unfortunate luck of facing Nina in Round 2. As I mentioned in my preview of this match, the only thing Nina was missing when compared to Daniela is experience. Otherwise, Nina was as tough a match for Daniela as she would have seen in the late stages of the tournament, so to draw her in Round 2 is just tough luck. So, Nina prevails and moves on to face our second qualifier to advance to Round 3, Hannah. It's been a great showing in the tournament for Hannah!

#12 Rebecca Romijn and #21 Kate Upton will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Both seeded models had no trouble in their Round 2 matches. Kate's margin of victory was expected, but Rebecca's whipping of Amber was surprising and telling. After all, Amber's body type is similar to Kate's: boobs and curves. Is that foreshadowing to what may happen in Round 3?

#2 Cheryl Tiegs - 49%
Genevieve Morton - 51%
Shannan Click - 74%
Libby Otis - 26%
Genevieve Morton and Shannan Click will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: As predicted, the match between Cheryl and Genevieve was very interesting, and it turned out to be incredibly close. In the end, Genevieve pulled off a huge upset and knocked off our #2 seed by the slimmest of margins. Meanwhile, qualifier Shannan Click disposed of her second Otis of the tournament, as she adds Libby to her victory over Carre in the Qualifying Draw. With the exception of this one, all of Shannan's victories have been close, but she still lays claim to reaching the final 32 of the tournament, despite starting off having to qualify for the Main Draw. Quite an accomplishment! The Round 3 matchup between Genevieve and Shannan is intriguing. You'd think someone who knocked off the #2 seed would be a big favorite, but Shannan has proven that she has lasting appeal.

#15 Rachel Hunter and #18 Brooklyn Decker will face each other in Round 3 of the Main Draw.
My spin: Rachel had huge troubles getting past Frankie. Meanwhile, Brooklyn had an easy time with Adaora, as expected. Adaora had a respectable showing, winning a match and then at least garnering some support against Brooklyn. The Round 3 match between Rachel and Brooklyn should have some intrigue, but Stacey's mom has to be considered the underdog against the powerhouse Brooklyn.
