2014 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament - Vote Now

Today’s results are in!

Group 40
Crystal Renn (66.7%) defeated Patricia Velasquez (33.3%)
Cindy Crawford (100.0%) defeated Cynthia Korman (0.0%)

Group 41
Kim Cloutier (73.7%) defeated Raica Oliveira (26.3%)
Emily DiDonato (66.7%) defeated Manon von Gerkan (33.3%)

Group 42
Julie Ordon (55.6%) defeated Michelle Lombardo (44.4%)
Sarah O’Hare (73.3%) defeated Barbara Carrera (26.7%)

Group 24
Tyra Banks (52.2%) defeated Andrea Orme (47.8%)
Emily Ratajkowski (51.9%) defeated Tori Praver (48.1%)

My spin:
Just like the World Cup does every time it is held, we have a “group of death” in our tournament: Group 24. The highest ranked model, Tyra Banks, just escaped a huge test from the lowest ranked model, Andrea Orme. Uber-popular rookie Emily Ratajkowski won by an even narrower margin over her worthy opponent, Tori Praver. Plus, fellow rookie Hannah Ferguson has yet to make her appearance in the tournament. Yes, folks, Group 24 is still a wide open race!

For the third straight day, we have a clean sheet, as supermodel Cindy Crawford left nothing for not-supermodel Cynthia Korman. Not surprising, but still impressive nonetheless.

In what may have been the surprise result so far, Crystal Renn easily beat the higher-ranked Patricia Velasquez. That will surely affect Patricia’s ranking for next year. Finally, I have to note my utter displeasure at all of my favorite “lesser known” SI models taking it on the chin in these matches. Manon von Gerkan and her amazing eyes lost, Michelle Lombardo and her amazing boobs lost, and Tori Praver and her amazingly toned body lost. Ugh. Sad day for me.

Today’s results are in!

Group 43
Jessica Perez (81.8%) defeated Jamee Becker (18.2%)
Sonia Dara (52.4%) defeated Niki Taylor (47.6%)

Group 44
Gigi Hadid (62.5%) defeated Kelly Emberg (37.5%)
Rita Tellone (53.3%) defeated Yvette Sylvander (46.7%)

Group 45
Rachel Roberts (82.4%) defeated Britta Dubbels (17.6%)
Bregje Heinen (100.0%) defeated Roshumba Williams (0.0%)

Group 25
Chrissy Teigen (78.3%) defeated Irina Pantaeva (21.7%)
Karen Mulder (63.6%) defeated Kara Young (36.4%)

My spin:
Where do I begin? First, let’s start in Group 43, where Jessica Perez had a predictably easy time with Jamee Becker, but Sonia Dara claimed a shocking victory over supermodel Niki Taylor. Niki got bounced out of the tournament in her first match last year, losing to Molly Sims. So, that was nothing to be alarmed at. But, this loss to Sonia Dara leaves me questioning if Niki was really a contender in this group. Perhaps not. I think she’ll obviously win some of her matches, but she can’t afford losses like this when she’s in a group with Jessica Perez and Laetitia Casta.

Meanwhile, over in Group 44, rookie Gigi Hadid had an impressive victory over Kelly Emberg, and Rita Tellone pulled off another surprise in beating SI covergirl Yvette Sylvander.

In Group 45, the results were predictable, but the newsworthy item here is Bregje’s clean sheet victory over Roshumba Williams. Bregje becomes the 5th model so far in Group Stage competition to record a clean sheet.

Finally, there’s Group 25 and controversial model Chrissy Teigen. People seem to either love or hate her, but she took care of Irina Pantaeva easily. The other match was interesting, pitting two people likely considered in the supermodel class, as well: Karen Mulder and Kara Young. I expected a close match, but it really wasn’t too close, as Karen won going away.

Group 47

Group 26
Judit Masco (81.3%) defeated Annie Morton (18.7%)
Renee Simonsen (52.9%) defeated Michelle Vawer (47.1%)

My spin:
We have begun our 2nd iteration of round robin matches in our groups now, and the results from Group 2 are similar to before, as Kathy Ireland and Samantha Hoopes appear to be on a collision course. Kathy becomes the 6th model in this year’s tournament to record a clean sheet victory.

In Group 47, the rookies continued their assault on the tournament as Sara Sampaio crushed Naomi Campbell.

Finally, a surprise result from Group 26, where Renee Simonsen knocked off Michelle Vawer. I assumed that Michelle would be the main competitor to Judit Masco for first place in the group, but those hopes took a serious hit.

Group 27

Carolyn Murphy (81.8%) defeated Louise Forsling (18.2%)

My spin:
In Group 3, Marisa Miller is the clear favorite, but kudos to Amy Wesson for actually getting a pretty respectable vote percentage against Marisa.

The Group 5 favorite, #5 ranked Yamila Diaz-Rahi, got a serious scare from rookie Valerie van der Graaf. But, she pulled it out and got the important 3 points for the win. Nice showing by Valerie, though, who I personally thought was the weakest of all 2014 rookies.

Today’s results are in!

Group 6
Daniela Pestova (65.0%) defeated Marloes Horst (35.0%)
Beri Smither (58.8%) defeated Quiana Grant (41.2%)

Group 7
Irina Shayk (86.7%) defeated Amber Noelle Ehresmann (13.3%)
Jeisa Chiminazzo (87.5%) defeated Micheline Lee (12.5%)

Group 8
Brooklyn Decker (75.0%) defeated Shana Zadrick (25.0%)

Group 28
Kim Alexis (88.2%) defeated Jane Gill (11.8%)
Hilary Rhoda (66.7%) defeated Monica Bellucci (33.3%)

My spin:
In Group 8, things got a little weird, as Erin Gray became the 7th - and most unlikely - member of the clean sheet club, as she got 100% of the vote against Anna Getaneh. All of this after Erin lost her first match! To add to the weirdness, Anna has had two matches so far, one against Brooklyn Decker and this one against Erin. She managed to get 17.5% of the votes against #8-ranked Brooklyn but couldn’t get any votes against #126-ranked Erin. Huh? That’s why I enjoy doing this tournament! In less weird news, Brooklyn dominated a worthy opponent in Shana Zadrick to improve to 2-0 in round robin play.

In Group 6, Beri Smither also bounced back from an earlier loss to beat Quiana Grant. In the same group, Marloes Horst made her debut against #6 ranked Daniela Pestova. Tough debut! Daniela won rather easily.

Other results were pretty much as expected.

Group 30

Tannia Rubiano (61.1%) defeated Babette March (38.9%)

My spin:
Well, we’re all caught up in Groups 20-30 after restarting polls because of those poll provider issues a couple of weeks ago. So, now we have completed one full round robin cycle and are 1/4 of the way through the second one. In this batch, there were no real surprises, other than the low margin of victory for Anne V. What a showing for Veronica Blume against her, and if Veronica shows this well in her other matches, she may very well sneak her way into the Knockout Stage of the tournament!

Group 14
Bar Refaeli (88.5%) defeated Ana Paula Araujo (11.5%)
Pixie Peterson (77.8%) defeated Tanga Moreau (22.2%)

My spin:
In Group 13, Paulina Porizkova became the 7th winner with a clean sheet, as she left Michaela Bercu in the dust. Michaela had a decent showing in last year’s tournament, so a clean sheet was not expected. Group 13 looks like a two-horse race with Paulina and Yasmeen Ghauri likely to slug it out for first place. The others don’t look up to the task.

In Group 12, her majesty Kate Upton made mincemeat of Jarah Mariano, and Alicia Hall rebounded from her loss to beat up on Carmen Luisa Vela. Finally, in Group 14, Bar Refaeli looks like every bit of the favorite she is, and she cruised to another victory.

Group 17

Aurelie Claudel (87.5%) defeated Lorraine Pascale (12.5%)

My spin:
Group 16 gives us two more clean sheets, as Petra and Dominique both had perfect matches. In the other groups, all of the matches were one-sided. Heidi and Lauren continued their domination of Group 15, and Rebecca and Aurelie dominated Group 17’s matches. Not too competitive, but these groups do feature some wonderfully hot models!

Group 20
Rachel Hunter (93.3%) defeated Turia Mau (6.7%)
Carol Latimer (76.9%) defeated Charissa Craig (23.1%)

My spin:
Group 19 had the most interesting matches today. I was curious to see how Malia Jones would stack up against Ashley Richardson, and the answer was: pretty well! Malia still lost, but she held her own and gave 19th-ranked Ashley a test. In the other match in Group 19, Yasmin Brunet rebounded from a loss in her first match to dominate Paulette Kieon and capture the 11th clean sheet of this year’s tournament.

Other results were right in line with expectations. Of note, perhaps, is the battle of throwback models in Group 20. Carol Latimer had an easy win over Charissa Craig. So, at least the models of the 60s and 70s can win when paired against easy competition!

Group 23
Stacey Williams (72.2%) defeated Monika Schnarre (27.8%)
Ann Peterson (71.4%) defeated Hina Tama (28.6%)

My spin:
After 138 matches complete in this year’s tournament, we have now had 2 draws, and Chanel Iman has been involved in both of them! Bizarre. Chanel drew with Hungarian beauty Reka Ebergenyi this time. So, Chanel can claim to be unbeaten, but she’s also falling dangerously out of reach of Nina for first place in Group 21.

Group 22 saw two models improve to 2-0 in the Group Stage, as Elsa and Aline both had no trouble dispatching of their opposition. And in Group 23, Stacey Williams easily got past the youngest SI Swimsuit model of all-time, Monika Schnarre. In the other Group 23 match, the good news for Hina Tama was that she got her first votes of the 2014 competition. The bad news was that she still lost by a wide margin. Both Elsa and Ann improve to 2-0 and are tied atop the Group 23 table.
