After what seemed to be a very busy Halloween weekend for me, I finally have time (at 6:30 am) to give you the final 32 contestants for the "Hottest Female Athlete of All Time" tournament. After this, you will have seen all of the possible winners of the contest. This is it, guys! The fourth and final region of the "Hottest Female Athlete of All Time". 32 more lovely ladies... 16 more polls... and that's it. A week from now, you'll know everyone who advanced to the second round (yes, the first round... this was just a qualifying round). Tell us what you think of this lovely flock after you're done with the voting.

Shrubbery's Bracket #4 Preview
The Gabriele Reese region is freakin loaded. By no means is Gabby Reese assured of a spot inn the FFOH, not with Gina Carano, Missy Gibson, Veronica Kay, and Kristi Leskinen lurking about. If Bracket #2 is deemed the Group of Death, this region is the "Group of Near Death", or "The Gauntlet".
Best first round match:
Gisela Dulko vs. Laura Manaudo: Argentina against France, the heart swoons.
Biggest mismatch:
Gabby Reese vs. Nicole Bobek: Poor Nicole gets ousted by a pre tournament favorite.
Second round watch:
Natalie Coughlin vs. Hope Solo
Lauren Jackson vs. Maria Kirilenko
Michelle Wie vs. Ana Ivanovic
Best bet to advance to the Final Four of Hotness:
Reese, Carano, Gibson, Kay
