The Best Bond Girl Tournament is underway. 64 Women in all will be entered. Rather than the standard +1/-1 elimination, it will be a head to head elimination with six rounds. To make things interesting, there will be a slight deviation to make things a little more interesting.

Rather than a standardized seeding and bracket, the matchups be will randomly drawn every round. In other words, there will be no bracket. The possibility exists that Honey Rider is eliminated in the first round while May Day advances. If you're familiar with the Amercian College basketball tournament, you know that there are upsets in the first round while a Cinderella makes a good run. The true Best Bond Girl can overcome the challenges that lay ahead.

Before I list the 64 participants, here are the rules (don't worry, there's not many).

1. Judy Dench, Rosa Klebb, the Swiss Gatekeeper, Irma Bunt and Madonna are all ineligible to participate due to the old hag rule.
2. Non-EON films will not be represented.
3. After kicking this around, I decided not to use the ladies who portrayed Ms. Moneypenny. Only two recurring characters are participating and two actresses will have their two characters represented.
4. Voting will be for a 24 hour period. Depending on events in my personal life, I may have to stretch some matches out longer, but I'll try to to keep it at a 24 hour period. I should be on every day short of an unplanned emergency.
5. In the event of a tie after voting has closed, I'll make the tiebreaking vote. I won't vote during the normal course of voting. The heat is all on me for those who aren't happy with my tie-breaking vote.
6. Do not double post your vote. If you want to change your vote, just edit your post. The second vote will not be counted.

Here are the participants who have not been eliminated.

Champion:
17. Countess Tracy di Vicenzo (OHMSS) (Defeated Nancy, Camille, Solitaire, Tatiana, Pam, DOmino)

    Quoting Kerim: In a few days, I'm going to start the Best Bond Girl Tournament. 64 Women in all
    will be entered. Rather than the standard +1/-1 elimination, it will be a head
    to head elimination with six rounds. To make things interesting, there will be a
    slight deviation to make things a little more interesting.

    Good. I prefer tournaments to elimination games.

    A truly extreme example if ever there was one ;-)

    Folks, the wait is over. I have completed the Randomator (Index cards in envelopes in a tote bag). Without any further adieu, let's see who are the first two particpants in the field of honor.

    You know contestant #1 as Lois Lane from the New Adventures of Superman, Susan Mayer from Desperate Housewives. You also know Teri Hatcher as Paris Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies. Paris is going to have her hands full as she faces off against....

    Vida and Zora, the Fighting Gypsy Girls of From Russia With Love.

    The First Match in The Random Bond Girl Tournament is...

    Paris Carver vs. Vida and Zora

    Will Paris slap the taste out of the Gypsy Girls mouths? Will Vida & Zora team up to give Paris the kiss of death? It's up to you to decide. Voting for this match will be up for about 24 hours. Rules previously posted still apply.

    Happy voting folks and let's have a great tournament.

    Tough one. I'm not 'into' Paris all that much, but at least she has something of a personality to consider whereas the other two I'm barely familiar with. Playing it safe, I choose Paris.

    Vida and Zora.

    For me, Paris is one of the worst secondary Bond girls in the franchise.

    Wow, an actual new tournament - good work that man Kerim!


    So, b****-slap or cat-fight? ;) It's got to be...

    Paris Carver v Vida and Zora


    P.S. Was that really Paris's middle name, PKK? If so, good knowledge...!

    Voting has now closed.

    By a 8-4 margin in a not so mild surprise, the winner of the opening match is......

    Vida & Zora

    The Gypsy Girls used teamwork to dispatch of Paris, who has the dubious distinction of being the first woman eliminated.

    Now, on to the next matchup. The Randomnator has started off and has given me the next name. Well folks, we have our first lead Bond girl to do battle. We also have the first girl from the Moore era. This Swede has been married to Peter Sellers and has hooked up with Rod Stewart. To the real world, she is Britt Ekland, but to us she is Mary Goodnight from The Man With The Golden Gun.

    Now, let's see who Mary's opponent is.

    From Russia With Love is going to try to make it 2-0. My girl is up. You know the lovely Nadja Regin as Kerim's Mistress and also the dancing woman in Goldfinger.

    So there you have it.

    Mary Goodnight vs. Kerim's Mistress

    Will Mary pull out a concealed weapon out of her bikini and knock out Kerim's Mistress or will the Mistress send Mary to the salt mines? Only you can decide.

    So decide. Voting will end around 6PM Pacific Time Tomorrow.

    Also, I will post the results in the opening thread as we go along.

    Kerim's Mistress for sure. What a seductress! :P Goodnight is one of the weaker Bond girls.
