Any chance that the Upton vs Kunis clash of the titans match doesn’t happen?
August 26th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Brooklyn Decker is going to upset Kunis.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:35 AM
Lets get this Kunis upset going.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
If Kunis loses I’m going to set fire to something.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Pretty sure you turn to stone if you look at that Beadle picture for longer than 15 seconds.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
Everytime I see Upton’s name in this I wonder why she wasn’t given an automatic birth in the finals.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
My girls are now losing. Sad. Cant believe you morons would go for Decker over Kunis.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:37 AM
How the hell is Kunis not winning?
August 26th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I dont think you understand how seeding works
August 26th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
To be fair that is because she is holding a magazine with Julia Roberts on it. Or Sarah Jessica Parker. Can’t really tell
August 26th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kunis.
/cj – did you see the pics of Hunter Pence from the fashion show last night, figured you might enjoy
//no homo
August 26th, 2011 at 10:40 AM
I voted for Decker and will not apologize. She’s got all the soft parts in the right spots.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:41 AM
My girls are now losing. Sad. Cant believe you morons would go for Decker over Kunis
What? Kunis? Over Brooklyn Decker? Ummm… No.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Everytime I see Upton’s name in this I wonder why she wasn’t given an automatic birth in the finals.
So she’s just going to be born in the Finals?

Decker in a landslide if we’re just talking physical attractiveness. Overall package? Much closer.

Kate Upton is taking Beadle to the cleaners. Kunis coming in close!

Both Kunis and Decker are hot we all know this. Kunis seems like a cooler chick though and that puts her over the top IMO.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:47 AM
Forgot to mention I can use my home laptop, cell phone and iPad.
Let’s do this…
August 26th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
I am completely fucking confounded. Help.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
I blame the non commenter for this Kunis debacle.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
BINGO. I think this might be another case of being blinded by the blonde though.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Plus That 70′s Show rocked and while I never saw the Adam Sandler movie Decker was in I can safely assume it was hot garbage
August 26th, 2011 at 10:48 AM
God damn are flashmobs fucking stupid. I’ll drive my car straight through your gay little dance routine.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:49 AM
And Mila takes the lead!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
I think this might be another case of being blinded by the blonde though
No… blinded by the blonde theory only applies if the the girl is unattractive, and this is overlooked due to blonde hair. Brooklyn Decker is gorgeous.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
I’m going Kunis. I love brunettes and a sense of humor. Plus, Brooklyn Decker was in an Adam Sandler movie and will star in that abortion “Battleship.”
August 26th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
Mila Kunis cannot fucking touch this. Get the fuck off my lawn with this Kunis bullshit.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:51 AM
Forgot to mention I can use my home laptop, cell phone and iPad.

You guys can have your blonde bimbo American. I will stick to hate fucking Kunis as she recites communist manifesto in russian.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Fuck Jimmer Fredette. So ready for that guy to lose.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
There is no wrong answer.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
Decker being married to Fraudick was the swing for my vote.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Look, Brooklyn is hot as anything, definitely among my tops, but she is a wooden board for a personality. Mila wins for me for the brunnette hair and personality.
/she’s also hot as hell
August 26th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
Mila Kunis is too much of a delicate flower to hatefuck. That is reserved for skanks like Casey Anthony (right ATL_Badger?).
August 26th, 2011 at 10:53 AM
That’s it. I’m enlisting MJ Day’s help. You’re all screwed now. Kunis is going to get blown out. You’ve woken the sleeping bear.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:54 AM
Brooklyn Decker is gorgeous.
And anyone who questions this is insane.
That said, I think that Upton has taken much of Decker’s thunder over the last year.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:54 AM
This puts Brooklyn over the top
August 26th, 2011 at 10:54 AM
Decker being married to Fraudick was the swing for my vote.
Didn’t Kunis date McCauly Caulkin for a long time?
/cancels marriage to Fraudick out
August 26th, 2011 at 10:55 AM
Lets get this Kunis upset going.
ok, but that pic doesn;t start the revolution
liked her a lot in black swan
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Brooklyn Decker is married to Andy Roddick. That fact alone should make her lose.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Fuck Jimmer Fredette. So ready for that guy to lose.
Well Rory just took the lead. here’s hoping he doesn’t choke at the end.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
liked her a lot in black swan
Yeah, that’s only because she had her face buried in Natalie Portman’s snatch for half the movie though.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Y’all craaaaazy.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Brooklyn Decker should lose for being in “Just Go With It.”
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Brooklyn Decker is married to Andy Roddick. That fact alone should make her lose
Isn’t McCauly Caulkin a bigger loser than Andy Roddick?
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
See Kunis going down on Portman is what wins this tournament.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Dudes using Decker being married to Roddick? Acceptable. Women using that fact as some sort of downfall? LAUGHABLE.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
If you’re just taking just attractiveness into question this turns into every other hot woman poll on the internet…the Culture Tournament sucks ass
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
/fixed
She seems almost disgustingly skinny in some pics I’ve seen. She’s gorgeous for ‘daily life’, but for celebs I enjoy seeing pictures of (the Hollywood scale), she’s not that high up for me, really.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
It was for 30 seconds, and she was fantastic in that movie, which was fucking awesome. That scene was hot.

August 26th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
It is one of the strongest cases for and against her. Depending on whether you are an idiot or not.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:58 AM
MARRIED. Legal, vows before god, sharing a tax return, must go to court to break up. Mila DATED McCauly. She didn’t MARRY him. Plus, that just means she’d probably date someone unattractive if she liked his personality enough.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:59 AM
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but go screw yourself, TBL.

Then Roddick? No way. Tennis “stars” make ridiculous endorsement cash.
Caulkin blew all of his money on perscription drugs and hasn’t been in a relevant movie in 10 years.

I think Caulkin’s parents were the ones that blew all his money. Didn’t he try to divorce his parents?

He won a US Open because Federer got upset on the other side of the bracket

Old Man Culkin is a piece of shit…I’m still betting that the annual royalty checks that roll in during Home Alone season keep his rent paid with some to spare

August 26th, 2011 at 11:02 AM
I think Caulkin’s parents were the ones that blew all his money. Didn’t he try to divorce his parents
Something like that. I think they were in charge of all of his Home Alone money… and he sued to get it or something.

I meant as in terms of not winning more majors and playing second fiddle to a dominant player in his sport. When Roddick won the US Open, many thought it would be the first in a long line of major wins for him. He lost to Federer three times in the Wimbledon final.
August 26th, 2011 at 11:15 AM
7.5/2/2 in 18 mpg seems like properly rating him to me
August 26th, 2011 at 11:16 AM

Let’s go with the fact that Mila would be a fucking beast in bed. I can just tell by looking at her.
Now if it comes down between Mila and Kate…..
August 26th, 2011 at 11:39 AM
So… if I showed up to this – and it already appears I voted, and the picks I “made” are in bold – but I definitely did not vote – does that mean that I perhaps work with another TBL reader/voter and since we are both using the same server we can only vote once?
/totally guessing/speculating
//either way – very confused
August 26th, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Brooklyn Decker and Kate Upton are genetic freaks of nature. They would run 4.2, bench 225 30+ times, and have a vertical of 40+, if they were comparable athletes.
Saying all of that there is something about Mila that I just love and will vote for her no matter who she goes up against. Cute, funny, and looks inappropriately young (shout out to Sanders).
I honestly like Beadle too. It is unfair to compare her to the other three who are all almost a decade younger.
