I am pissed Jen Ledger is out...but to be fair, getting a vote that wasn't mine against the Aussie Vixen was an achievement in my eyes :D

...you NEED to find a hobby oric.
Scarlett and Liv are through. Woo!
I'm just hoping at least one of my girls gets through.. Gigi is so much hawter than Chalke T_T
I had loads, mostly sports and work related. This is my off time :D
Oric you need to keep that fantasy a secret :S
Who else voted for Jen Ledger btw?
Bloo did I think
Tbh I'd rather have Gemma win than the ones I chose, and I really hope Scarlett doesn't... such an obvious choice.
I'm gonna not close any polls early unless it is so obvious that they won't win, which will start happening at about 5pm tonight with Summer Glau vs. Elisha Dushku. In terms of the tie, I'm going to have to figure out a method today which isn't longest in lead (unfeasable) and my vote counts for two (biased towards my noms).
Hahaha it's funny seeing you say 'noms' Oric, since it's also lolcat for food.
I just can't be bothered to type nominations every time. I will admit noms sounds a bit strange with the topic of the poll series though.
But lets be fair, we would all 'nom' our way through most of the lovely ladies on the list.
!!ALERT!!
All polls will be closing at 5pm TONGIHT. Make sure you get your votes in and your nominations through. A lot of tight, close votes at the moment.
Can we have a notice system as there are already too many for me to count (over 5)
I'll sort something out for the second round - maybe actually posting the exact ending for each poll when it begins.
So with round one over, and with some surprisingly close votes and upsets, the matchups for round two are set. Which votes do you think were surprising/closer than expected, and which matchups are looking forward to in the next round?
ROUND ONE RESULTS
1A - Summer Glau bt. Elisha Dushku by 1
2A - Scarlett Johansson bt. Kari Wuhrer by 6
3A - Rhona Mitra bt. Rosario Dawson by 2
4A - Amanda Tapping bt. Alyson Hannigan by 2
5A - Gemma Atkinson vs. Ivana Milicevic by 3
6A - Jewel Staite bt. Jodie Foster by 9
7A - Kate Beckinsale bt. Emmy Rossum by 3
8A - Tricia Helfer bt. Julianna Rose Mauriello by 8
1B - Liv Tyler bt. Zooey Deschanel by 5
2B - Holly Valance bt. Jen Ledger by 9
3B - Eve Wyrwal bt. Billie Piper by 1
4B - Sarah Chalke bt. Gigi Edgely by 4
5B - Kaley Cuoco bt. Cheryl Cole by 7
6B - Evangeline Lilly bt. Megan Fox by 1
7B - Kiera Knightley bt. Grace Park by 4
8B - Yvonne Strahovski bt. Felicia Day by 2
ROUND TWO MATCHUPS
Kate Beckinsale (+3) vs. Eve Wyrwal (+1)
Tricia Helfer (+8) vs. Sarah Chalke (+4)
Summer Glau (+1) vs. Yvonne Strahovski (+2)
Gemma Atkinson (+3) vs. Liv Tyler (+5)
Amanda Tapping (+2) vs. Holly Valance (+9)
Scarlett Johansson (+6) vs. Kaley Cuoco (+7)
Rhona Mitra (+2) vs. Evangeline Lilly (+1)
Jewel Staite (+9) vs. Kiera Knightley (+4)
This poll system really is fail though as some people get through who just aren't are "Desirable" as others
Megan Fox just isn't that desirable. Half the time she looks like a dude, and the other half she looks like a tramp who tries too hard. Plus she can't act.
Surely that's down to opinion and the whole point of a democracy.Quote:

In this case of the nominations who don't progress through the bracket, because it means they are not the most desirable overall, that's not to say that they are the least desirable compared to others who didn't win the competition (For example, I can't imagine that if I rejumbled the matchups that Jen Ledger would beat Cheryl Cole in a community vote). For a league table effect, you would need multiple brackets and then replace the winner of each one with a new competitor and re-run it through.Quote:

Bit more of a logical and intellectual discussion post for most babe polls on the internet, but this is one being run by me, so what did you expect ;D
What can I say, I'm a perfectionist and love to share my knowledge :D
Getting back to the Poll Series itself, all eight round two polls will start tonight between 5-7pm and will end exactly two days later (Sunday night at the same time they began). They will close earlier if there is an overwelming majoirty in favour of a single nomination.
Well round two is in the books, and big shocker - the supposed queen of ATK is dead, Gemma Atkinson has been beaten.
I don't believe what I'm reading. Whoever voted for that plectrum-faced Tyler woman I am very disappointed in you...Quote:

You mean Hayden Panettiere?
If someone had nominated her before it filled up, she would be in it. But they didn't, so she isn't.
Yeh that one
All Quarter-final polls are UP!!
They will all end at 7pm on Febuary 12th, so make sure you get your votes in before then.
And another should-have-been nomination - the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Front Cover Model, Brooklyn Decker

Wow! She's stunning. It'd be a bit unfair to add her now though :p.
True. But if we wanted to add nominations, then we would have needed 64 nominations, or a bye system - which would have been a nightmare to work out fairly.
Should have started with 100
Needs to be a multiple of 2 target :).Quote:
