Thanks so much to both you hot women for sharing this matchup. You both wasted no time ramping up the rivalry and hotness of this fight. Applying my objective criteria, and given Mellissa's own admission of apprehension, which seems to be reflected in the photos, I give the edge to Maria, at this early stage of the competition (and the blonde always gets my tie breaker vote). The photo's show both the women as part of a couple...are their men watching? Might add a little more motivation to win, and if stakes are involved more incentive to win as well. This rivalry is hot as is, is this rivalry just between the women for bragging rights or is their more involved? Thanks for sharing.
