I would have enjoyed this much more if thumbnails were posted along with each name. I must admit I don't know who some of the gals are.

Same, I had to google some, pick the hottest pic of each of them and compare them side by side. Very scientific :D Keira Knightley > all though

Point well made. In the 2nd round, I'll add links. In subsequent rounds, I'll add pics.

I'm shocked to be the only one to pick Carmen Electra over Angelina Jolie. I don't know what I'm missing on this, but AJ had one decent movie where she lezzed up and got nekkid. The rest of the time she looks eh. Plus the whole Billy Bob, blood vial, brother make out thing still uggs me out. Although Carmen does have the Rodman/Navarro thing, so that might be a wash. But at least she's not related to either one of them.
I dunno. Guess I'm missing the boat on this one.

Carmen just looks too fake and disproportionate. AJ is not my favorite by any stetch, but AJ's more "natural" beauty is a plus to me over Carmen's fakeness. Picking women is the most objectionable (or is it subjectionable?) choice out there.

I went with real verse fake - and then tossed in IQ. AJ won with no problem. - :D

Yup, I guess AJ wins the IQ, but probably only by a Lip!!:D

[Aaron]

I'm pondering how to add a prize to this thread.

Maybe an argument on behalf of a hottie that makes me laugh or drool.

Just at the pondering stage, fellas.

:cb Aaron... at the Ponderosa.

Angelina = DSL

[ColdCuts]

I went with real verse fake - and then tossed in IQ. AJ won with no problem. :DI judged on the images that I found on Google, and those images alone--I had to Google 'em because I didn't know who 3/4 of them were! :r I won't pretend to know any of their IQs, but I figure they must all be at least somewhat business savvy to have made it in the biz, right? And anyway, I need my spouse to be smart, but not my eye candy. ;)

[ColdCuts]

Angelina = DSL
(And I'm not referring to an internet connection)Uh, OK, I'll bite. What's DSL?

[scotton]

Um, the L is lips. And while I agree that Carmen is a little fake, I'll take fake over an alien any day.

[scotton]

When will round two start?

[Twill413]

Angelina = DSL
(And I'm not referring to an internet connection)

was gonna say the exact same thing:r . I am mesmorized by those things and their possiblity for well...you figure it out. She is my top 3 celebrity hotties, I guess I just like my girls a little on the trashy side. Glad to hear/see people voting for her.

[stig]

Point well made. In the 2nd round, I'll add links. In subsequent rounds, I'll add pics.

I'm getting thread jacked for those again aren't I?

Guess I'm missing the boat on this one.

Yes.

[Aaron]

When will round two start?
Thursdays. That'll give me a chance to tally up the votes on Wednesdays.

Round Starts
Round 1: 1/18 64 hotties
Round 2: 1/25 32 hotties
Round 3: 2/1 Sweet 16 hotties
Round 4: 2/8 Edible 8 hotties
Round 5: 2/15 Hotties I'd Like to Four 4 hotties
Round 6: 2/22 Tastiest Two
Final voting ends midnight 3/1 Pacific time.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to incentivize the contest. Maybe when we get to 16, the players need to pick their top 3 and will be awarded 16 points if you picked the winner, 12 for 2nd and 10 points for 3rd.

[SaltyMcGee]

To those who need the primer...

DSL

D = D$ck
S = Sucking
L = Lips

[Aaron]

The BOTH 2007 schedule is set per my last message in this thread. If there's a 24-hour period where there are no new votes, I'll launch the next round in a new thread.

I am putting together a prize package.


I will only allow players who started playing in rounds 1 or 2 to be eligible for the prize and players must play in all rounds. No "Rosie Ruiz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Ruiz)" late starters. you gotta earn it.

:dr

Ah yes, DSL! Of course! Thanks for the :sl fellas. Obviously, I needed that. :)

And, scotton, regarding your point about Carmen vs. Angelina, my thoughts EXACTLY.

I may also award points for Round 1 players recruiting new Jungle Gorillas before the end of Round 2.

[Aaron]

Round 1 voting ends at 6pm Pacific Time. Then I'll tally the votes and post Round 2.

[King James]

good second round....some of the matches I didn't like tho. I few match ups I thought both girls had no business in the 3rd round....and like Theissan vs. Alba....both I think should be in the 3rd... O well tho, thats the way it goes

I agree with you on T&A :D. I grabbed the girls from another BOTH contest and didn't change them.

It's a ton of work to tally the votes.

Now that I've got the links, they'll be around for the next round.

Maybe next year, I'll have a nominations round, automatically forwarding all that made it to the 2nd round this year and having the other 32 slots (so to speak) up for grabs.

One part of this year's prize package will definitely amuse jungle residents, but that'll be a surprise to be opened on arrival.

I was pleased that there were no ties in the voting. I hadn't decided how I'd handle that. As much as I'd like to have the phone numbers of the hotties so they could come over to make their case to me in person. (Hey, there ought to be SOME benefit to living walking distance from Hollywood, right?) I'm torn between tossing a coin or allowing nepotism to have me tip the scale in favorite of my choice for that battle.

[Aaron]

I'm curious who the BOTH players thought was the hardest candidate to see not progress to the second round.

Amazing how Halle Berry has fallen.

I have to confess a sadness that Diane Lane may be too old to compete. She was scorching hot in Lonesome Dove and had/has that kind of timeless girl-next-door quality that would make you the envy of your college pals... at your 40th reunion.

[ColdCuts]

[King James]

I just wonder if this will be jessica alba all the way....no contest lol. I know she isn't leaving any time soon

[ColdCuts]

I just wonder if this will be jessica alba all the way....no contest lol. I know she isn't leaving any time soon:tpd: I made the prediction when I submitted my votes for round two, that in the end it would come down to Angelina Jolie vs. Jessica Alba, with Jessica winning the whole shootin' match.

[King James]

Angelina Jolie looks like seabiscuit! she has no business being put next to Alba!!!

[ColdCuts]

Angelina Jolie looks like seabiscuit! she has no business being put next to Alba!!!Hey man, I'm with you! I voted for Carmen Electra (against Jolie) in round one, and for Natalie Portman (against Jolie) in round two. The prediction I made was based upon how I expect all other participating gorillas to vote. Oh, and I adore Alba BTW.

[Seanohue]

So, will this continue on to the next round?

[Aaron]

So, will this continue on to the next round?Yes. Gotta tally up the votes.

[stig]

Hey, when does round 3 start? You would have a lot more time to tally up the votes from round 2 if you didn't hang out in the photochop for berries thread.:D

[Aaron]

You're right.

But it's hard to manage TWO obsessions.

I regret the delay, but I think Round 3 will start late Saturday night. I'm kinda like Walter Sobchak.

[stig]

Big Lebowski reference. Sobchak was the character played by John Goodman.

[Bigd417]

ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY! Or am I reading the winners of round 2 wrong. Jessica Alba doesn't even make it to the quarterfinals. Oh there might be consequences for this.:bx

[Seanohue]

I know what you mean. My poor KK got knocked out.

I know what you mean. My poor K[eira] K[nightley] got knocked out.Whatsamatta with you guys? Neither of the above things have happened... yet. There is a tie breaker between Keira Knightley and Ali Landry currently in progress. Take a second look at the thread. :)

Alba made it. She was the top vote-getter in Round 2.

Preview of Round 3:

Bracket 1
Scarlett Johansson-20 vs. Jennifer Connelly-16
Angelina Jolie-20 vs. Charisma Carpenter-15

Bracket 2
Laetitia Casta-18 vs. Rebecca Romijn-17
Salma Hayek-23 vs. Ali Landry-15 OR Keira Knightley-15

Bracket 3
Jessica Alba-27 vs. Kelly Hu-20
Jessica Biel-19 vs. Kate Beckinsale-17

Bracket 4
Shannon Elizabeth-18 vs. Rachel Bilson-18
Carla Gugino-19 vs. Elisha Cuthbert-17
I want to see some pics of Kiera Knightley in the BOTH Round 2 thread that justify the tie with Ali Landry.

Yes, KK has a pleasing way about her but she (imho) is not quite the same head-turning hottie that Ali Landry would be if you walked into a Herf with her on your arm.

And none of you are probably familiar with the humor site The Adventures of Kiera Knightly's Jaw (http://www.keiraknightleysjaw.com/). :D

[Aaron]

Oh... and photoshopping or describing the opponent in the Ali vs. Kiera tiebraker as a flea-infested skank (or whatever trash-talk comes to mind) is mightily encouraged. Make us laugh.

[Aaron]

I'll pick Ali or Kiera before the Super Bowl kickoff based on the Round 2 feedback so we can all pay attention to the game.

[vince321]

One of the things that makes Kiera so attractive to me is the fact that she is naturally pretty and seems like the type of gal who not only is awesome to look at, but would be a blast to hang out with. I could see her with a cigar, a brew and a good belly laugh over a dirty joke. That's my kind of girl. Ali Landry, yah, she's hot, but there's many hot models out there. What really seperates her from any of the other thousand that could have made the list?

[ColdCuts]

I'll pick Ali or Kiera before the Super Bowl kickoff based on the Round 2 feedback so we can all pay attention to the game.In the other thread, in post #35, it seems that you already picked Ali. But I'm hoping that if a bunch of gorillas present a good bit of evidence in favor of Keira, you'll be duty-bound to put her through to the next round--where she'll surely get stomped by Salma, but still I think Keira should advance! :r

[SaltyMcGee]

I do hope that Ali advances, but you're right, she'll be stomped by Salma!

[Bigd417]

If your talking strictly hottie eye-candy Ali will crush Keira. But if your talking about who you'd want to spend an evening AND the night with give me Keira anytime.:D

[Aaron]

Round 3 is up (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?p=747159#post747159).

I don't think it's good to have the winners of the brackets go 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4. The last round should be a battle-royale with all 4 bracket-winners going head to head (oh, how I wish they WOULD!).

Does that make sense?

[ColdCuts]

Does that make sense?Makes perfect sense to me.

[Aaron]

Note the new BOTH rule change. Gotta post links to pics and not embed them into the thread.

Play nice in the jungle.

Mea culpa for requesting the pics in the first place, but I humbly (and I'm RARELY humble) submit to the new rules.

[Aaron]

Voting goes to midnight, Thursday (that's Friday morning, February 9, folks).

Round 4 will be the Smack-down round where in addition to voting, Gorillas will be encouraged to trash-talk the other hotties.

[King James]

Bye Kiera :( :(

[ColdCuts]

glovepuppy, in the Battle of the Hotties - Round 4 (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=63794) thread, you called Laetitia Casta a butter face. That kinda blows my mind. To each his own, but I think Laetitia has a totally stunning, beautiful face.

scotton, we apparently have very similar taste in women, but you called Laetitia a "hot frog."

Bracket 2: Laetitia Casta vs. Salma Hayek

Hot latina with brains vs. hot frog that I haven't seen a new picture of in a few years. Easy one.

Maybe you didn't know, but that's the equivalent of calling Salma Hayek a beaner. It's off-color. I'm sure there are gorillas of French decent at CS--if not a few gorillas in France. I'm not trying to call you out, just a friendly FYI. I agree with everything else in your post. :)

So anyway, what is the appeal concerning Jessica Biel? I know tons of you guys like her, but she looks like a flippin' dude IMHO. She has a mannish face, and I've seen a few pics where she appears to have broader shoulders than I do--and I'm not a little guy! :r stig, you said...

lord knows that I admire any woman who looks like she could try and kick my A$$:confused: I have a friend who's into that look too. What is that about?! For me, I like pretty girls. You know, girls that look like, well, girls! :r Oh, and stig, regarding bracket 1, you made an analogy that likened Angelina Jolie to an apple, and Scarlett Johansson to a worn out brake pad...

Bracket 1: Scarlett Johansson vs. Angelina Jolie

I don't think that there is any comparison between Scarlett and Anjelina. This to me is like comparing apples to brake pads, one you would like to sink your teeth into and the other looks a bit rough from wear and tear.I donno man. I thought that was a crazy analogy. If anybody in this contest looks a bit rough from wear and tear, I think it's Angelina, not Scarlett.

As for Shannon Elizabeth, I'm trying to figure out how she got here in the first place. :confused:

[khubli]

Is this thing still alive? There was so much momentum at one point, then *poof* just like Kaizer Soze.
