Time to get my opinions in as this is just getting underway. My picks in bold.
Emma Bunton vs Gemma Atkinson - In spite of the great difference in size, Gemma has to be considered the favorite based on past performances. But I think Gemma is hungrier for the victory. She wants to stay in 3rd place ahead of Geri Halliwell and perhaps move closer to the leaders by beating Emma and hoping Liz McClarnon loses. There is the extra motivation of beating the undefeated. Gemma is motivated to stay on top but Gemma is hungrier. Gemma says "I am emma with a 'G' for Great.
Geri Halliwell vs Liz McClarnon - similar thoughts her as in the Emma vs Gemma fight. Geri always thought she was sexier and tougher than Emma plus she wants to give Liz her first loss. The size difference is not as great as in the Emma/Gemma fight and Geri may even have an advantage in being shorter. Liz is planning on staying undefeated and hoping so will Emma so they can meet with perfect records. But you can see in the challenger's eyes (Geri's) that she wants it more.
Elizabeth Hurley vs Jenny Frost - but Elizabeth and Jenny want this win to prove they are better than their records. But just look at those menacing eyes of the sultry Elizabeth in the picture shown. Then look at the expression of Jenny in her photo. Jenny has a flicker of doubt caused by Elizabeth's intimating glare. This doubt will be enough for Elizabeth to overcome Jenny and eventually dominate her. In a fight of physically equal women, it is the one who truly believes she will win that comes out on top. It only takes a momentarily doubt on the loser's part to fall victim.
Kate Beckinsale vs Roxanne Pallett - Kate's record gives her confident and Roxanne's record has her wondering if she should fight or run. Had Roxanne been successful earlier she might have the courage and belief to surprise Kate and knock her down. But Kate is the confident one here and will walk all over Roxanne.
Andrea Corr vs Catherine Zeta-Jones - Andrea is very hungry for a win and will initially surprise Catherine. She will have a "I've not nothing to lose" attitude and come out with abandonment and fury. But alas, Catherine loves a good ferocious, dirty fight and Andrea will be playing right into her favorite style. Look for Catherine to have a sinister yet gleeful smirk on her face as she tears Andrea apart.
Dannii Minogue vs Victoria Beckham - Dannii is a tough, athletic Aust4ralian. Victoria claims she is the sexiest and toughest Spice Girl but has not lived up to her bragging. The lightning fast Dannii will confuse, frustrate and perplex Victoria. She will land two punches to everyone Victoria lands. She will use her dancers moves and legs to grab Victoria by the hair and pull her around until Victoria will be sobbing for mercy.
Nancy Sorrell vs Rachel Stevens - This will be a very even fight with each woman getting the other down but now being able to keep her there. I think that Nancy has the slightly greater confidence and belief that she can win and this will make the difference. However, I am not so confident in this and if Rachel is more convinced she can win they she will come out victorious.
Naomi Watts vs Heidi Range - This will be the closest fight of this round. I see even more rolling around, back and forth action than in the Nancy vs Rachel fight. Both proud women will want to win to gain a winning record and neither will want to admit defeat. This fight will go on and on and on until two exhausted fighters will barely be able to move. Maybe Naomi has the slight advantage as her size could prove the difference in holding Heidi down when both women have spent all their energy. But I see this coming out a draw as neither will have the energy nor power left to make the other stubborn woman give up.
