I voted.

Add my votes in. Gemma gets mauled but still pulls out the win, and Dannii scores yet another win, this time over Roxanne.

Thx for your comments 

It's still very early in the poll but I thought Pallett vs Minogue would be closer 

[Glamour Fights]

My picks and comments:
Heidi over Victoria in a close fight: Victoria has a slight size advantage but has the mentality of a loser. Until she wins a fight I am not convinced she believes she can win and that is most important in a catfight. Heidi has proven she believes she can win.

Catherine over Emma in a very, very close fight: Emma is a toughie and is very confident. But I think Catherine is just too big for her. This should be a lopsided fight favoring Catherine except for Emma's desire. If Emma can stay on top she wins but if Catherine gains the advantage Emma won't be able to reverse.

Rachel over Jenny in a tough fight: Jenny has gained confidence after her last victory and is taller than Rachel. But I think Rachel has the greater fighting desire and will show that often the smaller woman has the advantage as long as the size difference is not too great.

Liz over Kate in the closest fight. Two evenly matched fighters with heart. The difference is the loss in confidence Kate suffered after losing to Jenny. It will cause just a slight doubt in her mind that Liza will take advantage of. Could easily go the other way.

Naomi over Andrea: Not only is Naomi significantly bigger but she believes she can win whereas Andrea doesn't. An easy fight for Naomi.

Elizabeth just over Nancy: Similar in size and both have won some and lost some although  Nancy has won one more. Just think that Elizabeth is tougher mentally. This fight could be as close or closer than the Liz vs Kate fight.

Dannii over Roxanne: Two little and very quick ones. I favor Danni because I know she is a strong dancer. Don't know as much about Roxanne so I may be underestimating her.

Gemma upsets Geri: Geri is another of those supremely confident fighters who believes she will win every fight. Genna is not as confident. Geri will be overconfident in this one and underestimate the fighting spirit of Gemma.

I think Emma will continue her winning spree. She's simply a better fighter than Catherine and if Emma gets the brunette down and places her big butt over her face it's all over for Catherine

Four days left in the poll and half of the fights are separated by a single vote. This is the closest round so far 

[bittybid]

3 votes for both Heidie Range and Gemma Atkinson in less then 4 minutes and this has been going on all day. and in earlier matches. somebody is clearly cheating again

[krashkont]

Voting against Victoria has been going on systematically in all the matches. Now the cheater added multivoting against Geri as well. and yes, it's very obvious which is why I don't vote in this tournament again until the guy who runs it does something about this problem

[djcrash]

Obviously your vote won't be missed then? Or maybe its just sour grapes on your part? Get over it! This is just a poll and nothing more.

"Obviously your vote won't be missed then? Or maybe its just sour grapes on your part? Get over it! This is just a poll and nothing more. "

sorry but that's a pretty stupid thing to say. if an otherwise good poll or story is ruined by people cheating it ruins the fun for everybody

I've received some voices of concern regarding multivoting against Victoria in particular and the entire issue resulted in a lot of response in this thread. Thank you for all the input and despite some negative comments, majority (myself included) wants to move on into the next round. Victoria will have some lower ranked opponents up next and I believe anyone trying to multivote against won't be so successful. In fact the latest round proved that already. This poll was supposed to be pure fun & pleasure and one mysterious dive bomber won't change that. Then again anyone who predicted Victoria's overall victory is pretty much dead in the water... 

Voting against Geri hasn't been an issue, quite frankly she's had a great deal of success if anything and the fight with Gemma was close right from the start. I don't think there was more then 5 votes difference through the entire poll.

Few post-voting comments:
Victoria Beckham vs Heidi Range
Posh ends the losing streak by defeating one of the tournament's stars. Heidi had only lost to Emma Bunton before but looks like Spice is not her favourite flavour. Victoria used her height & weight advantage and definitely didn't underestimate Heidi like almost everyone else did in the previous rounds.

Emma Bunton vs Catherine Zeta-Jones
The undefeated leader endured a close fight in the early stages but Catherine eventually run out of strenght and served as a punch bag for the blonde conqueror. In the end Emma recorder her third 30+ difference victory and Catherine was almost knocked out of her senses under the barrage of punches.

Rachel Stevens vs Jenny Frost
Vicious slugfest goes in the favour of Rachel who managed to headscissor Jenny into submission after a long & competitive struggle.

Liz McClarnon vs Kate Beckinsale
If this was round one then Kate probably would have been the favourite. But Liz's innocent looks have deceived everyone thus far while Kate still can't seem to understand how she lost to Jenny Frost in the previous fight. Overall, a firm Atomic Kitten complex for brunette.

Naomi Watts vs Andrea Corr
Another tournament front runner Naomi wasted little time to completely dominate Andrea. The blonde is still not out of the overall victory running but the toughest opponents are yet to be taken.

Nancy Sorrell vs Elizabeth Hurley
On paper this could have been the closest fight of them all but Nancy's determination eventually prevailed whereas Liz lost another fight where she wasn't completely dominated by her opponent. Is that due to her mindset or perhaps the age and lack of stamina is showing?

Roxanne Pallett vs Dannii Minogue
Two small & lightweight cookies went for a hairpulling contest and Dannii almost ripped Roxanne bald in the proccess before stripping her fancy bikini off. Age most definitely wasn't a factor in this one.

Gemma Atkinson vs Geri Halliwell
Probably the biggest upset of them all. Geri thumped Nancy Sorrell and Liz Hurley in the earlier rounds having not had a significant height & weight advantage either but Gemma survived all the barrage and dished out a few puches herself and for once it was the spicy redhead who couldn't take it at the bell.

Congratulations to GlamourFights who predicted Gemma's upset victory
