I was hoping to post my predictions before much voting took place but I see I am too late. Now there are several one sided fights and several close ones. I will say what my predictions would have been and then what they are now based on the fights so far.
Geri Halliwell vs Jenny Frost - Geri is on a warpath after losing to the much taller Gemma/ She will go after Jenny with full fury and destroy her. Sure enough, Geri is beating up on poor Jenny who seems to have no answer. Can Jenny make a comeback? I doubt it.
Roxane Pallectt vs Catherine Zeta-Jones - . Roxanne has been the punching bag against her opponents so far and CZ-J has a mixed record. CZ-J was humiliated by little Emma Bunton so she will jump on the even shorter Roxanne and have her way with her. True to form, CZ-J is throwing Roxanne all over the room and nailing her with punch after punch with her much superior reach. Roxanne's only hope is to get in a lucky punch but her luck hasn't been good so far. CZ-J in a walk over.
Nancy Sorrell vs Gemma Atkinson. Don't know why everyone, include Jeri, was surprised the 5'9" Gemma bested 5'2" Jeri. It's not like Gemma is tall and uncoordinated although she has lost 3 firths. Nancy is 5'7" and matches up physically with Gemma. Plus she has won one more fight than Gemma. My own bias is that 5'5" to 5'7" is the best fighting height so much as I would like to go with Gemma, I see Nancy winning a very close fight. So much for my prediction. Gemma is out to prove she is for real and is overwhelming Nancy to this point. But I think Nancy can go toe to toe with Gemma and will make a comeback. But it will take too much out of her and Gemma will prevail in a close fight.
Andrea Corr vs Victoria Beckham - Victoria has her fans although her performance so fat has been less than stellar. But Andrea has been even more hapless. Normally I would favor Andrea to win but after the controversy in the last fight I believe Victoria's fans will be out in force. There cheering for Victoria and insults hurled at Andrea will demoralize Andrea and she will lack the will to fight. Victoria takes it but not by much. As predicted Victoria's fans are out in force and my original prediction and premise still held up. Except this will be an easy victory for Victoria.
Dannii Minogue vs Rachel Stevens - These two match up evenly physically and, as far as I can tell, in determination. Rachel has done slightly better which might make Dannii the underdog, a position she likes. But I give the edge to Dannii. It will be a back and forth fight but Dannii's dancer's legs and stamina will prove the difference as the two fight to exhaustion. Indeed this is a very close fight so far. I still like Dannii to win but it will be close, very close.
Naomi Watts vs Liz McClarnon - Both fighters have great records, Liz being undefeated and Naomi only having one slight hiccup in losing her first fight to Dannii Minogue. She has been perfect after that. Both women match up well physically. Liz has been a surprise so far for she looks much too sweet to be a vicious catfighter. Perhaps I have underestimated her but I have to go with the Aussie as they are usually more sports minded and active in sports. Naomi wins a close fight as she uses her will to overpower and defeat Liz. This fight has lived up to my expectations and is currently tied. It could easily end up a draw but I will stick with my guns and call it for Naomi in the closest fight in this round.
Kate Beckinsale vs Heidi Range - The short but tough Heidi has done slightly better than Kate so far. Perhaps Kate is just too sweet. But I see Kate calling upon the brunette vs blonde motivation. She will be too big and too strong for Heidi although Heidi will get in some good and nasty licks. Well it looks like Kate is ripping the blonde's hair out. Looks like an easy win for her. But I think she had better be careful for Heidi could make a comeback if Kate gets careless or loses concentration.
Elizabeth Hurley vs Emma Bunton - I keep picking women that have 5" or more on Emma to beat her and she keeps proving me wrong. I should learn my lesson and say Baby Spice will win. But I know Elizabeth can fight and be rather nasty at times. So she should make short work of Emma. Well folks, looks like I have underestimated Emma again. The fight started off close Emma seems to be able to get inside Elizabeth's reach and defenses and is working her body over. Emma has an even larger cheering base than Victoria does so these is probably affecting Elizabeth. But Emma cannot avoid and duck Elizabeth's punches for even and sooner or later Elizabeth will nail Emma and send her to the canvas. She will then place her foot on Emma's chest, crushing her breasts and pose in victory over her. She may even make Baby Spice cry like a baby.
