Tie-breaking criterion: in case the two contestants are tied with the same number of votes, the tie will be broken by the number of
"declared" votes that each contestant has received. This means, the number of forum members who publicly declared their vote for each contestant.
If the two contestants are tied also in terms of "declared" votes, the model who got more votes in the quarter-finals, based on official results, will qualify for the final.
If the two contestants are still tied, a "sudden death" rematch will be held: the first model to get three votes will proceed to the final.

I love both contestants, so it was a tough decision. I finally voted for Swains mainly because of her sexy outfits and because her green eyes are special.

this was the hardest one for me since the whole contest so far
i love both equally, but only can give one vote, and i didnt want not to vote.
i´m really sorry Swains, you know how big fan i´m of yours, but my vote did go to Linda in this round.

This time voting for Swains has been very difficult, but in the end i did.

As much as I adore Linda, Swains is another class of beauty and charm. So it's Swains.

Linda's quite grown on me over the course of this contest. Swains is great... but oh god PLEASE PLEASE just FUCKING SMILE from time to time!

Sultry isn't bad necessarily, but I like to see a range of emotion. After all, the models are human aren't they? Not really clever, realistic androids imported from Japan?

And IMO Swains wears too much makeup. Sorry Feeto, just my tuppence - no goodfellas baw bweakin

So it's Linda, by a nose hair.

I voted for Swains.
1) She is sexier than Linda
2) She is Italian
3) I cannot stand French people

With all due respect and admiration for Linda, this time I voted.. and I voted for SWAINS.. for plenty of pretty obvious reasons..
As you rightly observed in another thread.. SWAINS does not smile often whe she poses. It probably has to do with her fashion industry background.
But she is an absolutely cheerful girl in everyday life.. and when she is with friends.. she smiles a lot..

Thank you to all the friends and forum members who have supported SWAINS so far.. let's make our FINAL dream come true..

My vote was pretty easy...for the beautiful and exotic legend Linda, of course. BTW, Linda wasn't just French...she got her smoldering, dark complected, brown eyed, brunette beauty by also being part Spanish and part Algerian. Voting for her was a snap because she's a genuine legend..superior in every way to a certain angry looking, slick runway model. Linda never looked like she wanted to knee you in the groin for just looking at her.

Thank you for all your votes and comments.

Considering the tight margin, it is useful to make a recap of the tie-breaker situation.
Swains: 5 declared votes
Linda: 3 declared votes

I went with old fave Linda here. But there semi-finalists have nothing on the other two. All my favourites seem to have been in the other half of the bracket, eliminating each other. It's like the 2018 World Cup, with Croatia having a relatively easy path to the final while all the good teams eliminated each other on the side.

The clash is getting REALLY tough here. And I sense a certain "anti-SWAINS attitude"
I will reply with SWAINS' motto: "I hate people who would turn the sun off in their pointless attempt to shine"

I know we're cool now, but you're talking shite. There is no anti-Swains vibe.... just a pro-Linda one

BUG got a 6-0 shutout in the groups, as you so gleefully advertised, and Swains won the toughest group of all IMO. That is a great achievement on CF's turf.

Anyway, this might not even be the first BUG loss to an outsider. Still plenty of time for a turnaround.... don't forget what happened on the last day of the CFC Season 3 final!

Even worse than 100% French.

And how many tears do you cry when someone defames Italians? Oh how impartial you are...I guess I was right about nationalism raising it's ugly head and becoming more and more of a factor in these tourneys.
