Well, this one came very first to being the first blow out
Laetitia Casta vs Michelle Marsh
The French supermodel took a very aggressive approach right from the start of her bout with the English glamour model, thinking that a long drawn out match would benefit her opponent, this tactic seemed to work as the rumoured behind the scenes fights between the supermodels stood her in good stead
Elodie Frege vs Nell McAndrews
Seeing the first match made the French pop sensation try the same tactics, and it eventually worked for her, though not as well, as Nell managed to break free a couple of times, and actually managed to make Elodie come a fraction later than herself, when she was pulled back in again after coming herself
Marion Cotillard vs Abi Titmuss
With France 2-0 up, it seemed that Marion was about to make it 3 out of 3, by managing to put Abi in a headlock with her legs and going to town, Abi however managed to break her head free and go to town herself but she was too far gone for her greater skill to clinch more than the draw as the two convulsed at exactly the same time and rolled away from each other and England-North managed to just stay alive two-nil down after 3 bouts
Clara Morgane vs Holly Peers
It wasn't for long though as the more experienced Morgane was apparently out on a personal mission to show that the younger Holly still had a lot to learn, and clearly succeeded as the glamour model never had an answer.
Eva Green vs Helen Flanagan
This made the last bout redundant, but the former Bond girl still came out and gave it her all, which the Coronation street star may not even have expected, as the finale was finished almost before it even started in one of the fastest bouts of the entire tournament so far.
So not a complete blowout, but not even the first tie could stop France from running away with it 4-0.
