My spin:
Emily Ratajkowski became the second model to clinch first place with her win over Tyra Banks. Emily finishes the Group Stage at 4-0 in the “Group of Death”, which is very impressive. She’ll face the winner of Group 34 in her first Knockout Stage match, which right now looks like either Fernanda Motta or Eva Herzigova. Also in Group 24, we had our 6th draw of the tournament, as Tori Praver and Hannah Ferguson could not be separated. Because of Emily’s clinch, Tori and Hannah are fighting for a wild card spot, and this result may hurt both of them. They are tied in the group table, and amazingly they are separated by one-tenth of a percentage point in the tiebreaker (total vote percentage). It will be an interesting finish in Group 24.
In Group 25, Chrissy Teigen has rebounded with two straight wins after her opening match loss to Julie Henderson, and Julie rebounded after a loss in her last match to knock off group leader Karen Mulder. Now, the group is completely up in the air, with a four-way tie for first place. Of those, only three can win first place, though, because Kara Young’s hope was dashed with her loss to Chrissy. So, it’s a fight for first between Julie, Chrissy, and Karen.
Finally, in Group 26, Judit Masco improved to 3-0 and took control of the group with her win and Renee Simonsen’s loss. Judit and Renee face off in the final match of this group, and Renee would have to beat Judit by almost an 80%-20% margin in order to take first place. That’s unlikely, but we’ll see what happens.
