2014 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament - Vote Now

I hear ya! I'm the same way at this point, I would do the same thing if it ever came down to Bar Refeali and Nina Agdal at any point in this tournament or future tournaments. This is good stuff xbcx!! Well done this year once again!

 

Today’s results are in!

Knockout Stage - Quarterfinal Round
(16) Petra Nemcova (65.5%) defeated (9) Veronica Varekova (34.5%)
(14) Bar Refaeli (63.4%) defeated (15) Heidi Klum (36.6%)
(16) Petra Nemcova and (14) Bar Refaeli will face each other in the Semifinal Round

My spin:
Petra Nemcova outdistanced fellow Czech beauty Veronica Varekova to win the Jule Campbell Region championship and advance to the Semifinal Round. I thought Petra was a slight favorite to win this match, but I’m surprised by the final margin. What an impressive win for Petra against an unbeaten opponent who came in having just knocked off the #1 overall seed, Elle Macpherson.

Petra’s next opponent will be Bar Refaeli, who also had an unexpectedly easy time getting past Heidi Klum to win the Elaine Farley Region. Bar has had three very tough opponents in her past three matches. She has faced Hannah Davis, defending champion Marisa Miller, and supermodel Heidi Klum, but she’s gotten the better of each of them.

So, who will win Petra vs. Bar to advance to the Championship Match? I have no idea. I think Bar is a slight favorite to come out on top, but both have been very impressive.

Petra is probably my #1 all-time SI model, so I'm happy to see her doing so well. Not sure she'll win it all (really, can anyone beat Nina Agdal right now?) but the longer she goes, the more I'm willing to keep voting for her.

 

Today’s results are in!

Knockout Stage - Quarterfinal Round
(8) Brooklyn Decker (54.2%) defeated Julie Henderson (45.8%)
(21) Nina Agdal (67.6%) defeated Hannah Ferguson (32.4%)
(8) Brooklyn Decker and (21) Nina Agdal will face each other in the Semifinal Round

My spin:
The magical run has come to an end for both Julie Henderson and rookie Hannah Ferguson. Julie’s surprising run was ended by Brooklyn Decker, but she didn’t go down without a fight. Brooklyn won a rather close match.

Hannah did not put up nearly as good of a fight against Nina Agdal, as Nina easily cruised to victory.

So, that sets up Brooklyn vs. Nina for a spot in the Championship match. Nina has looked unstoppable, while Brooklyn comes in having had three close matches in a row. But, I still think this is a tough one to call.

(14) Bar Refaeli and (21) Nina Agdal will face each other in the Championship Match

My spin:
And we’re down to two! Bar Refaeli and Nina Agdal are the lone survivors, as each of them have tallied nine wins against zero losses during the 2014 tournament. One of them will go to a perfect 10-0 and claim the title of 2014 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament Champion.

Who will it be?!?

Well, Petra not making it to the final round means I can vote Nina with a clean conscious. Not that I have anything against Bar, who's a fantastic babe in her own right.

 

Crying in my beer!
:aargh4:

 

hmmmm what do I do now? My two favorite hotties are against each other...

 

You can always stay on the fence and check both boxes.

Knockout Stage - Championship Match
(14) Bar Refaeli (54.7%) defeated (21) Nina Agdal (45.3%)

Bar Refaeli is the 2014 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament Champion!

My spin:
Many people thought Nina Agdal would reach the top, me included, but the Bar has been set higher! (I couldn’t resist.) Congratulations to our very worthy champion, Bar Refaeli!

Bar finishes up the tournament with a perfect record of 10 wins without a loss. Bar certainly earned this victory. In her last five matches, she had to beat Hannah Davis, 2013 champion Marisa Miller, Heidi Klum, Petra Nemcova, and finally Nina Agdal. Very impressive!

As for Nina, she has to settle for runner-up. She followed up her top 4 showing in 2013 with a top 2 showing in 2014. So, she’ll certainly be looking to take that next leap in the 2015 version!
