Who'd You Rather: Carmen Electra vs. Katarina Witt

Scanning the room from the back
While a lot of the women in these matchups can kind of be seen as somewhat adjacent in their work, and I'm even going to go guess we'll end up with some matchups where there will be a clip of the two combatants on screen together, this one features two women who have taken very different paths.

Carmen Electra is a quadruple threat as a singer, dancer, actress and model. Granted, the singer and actress may leave something to be desired, though it was her singing career that led her to Prince, who got her started on her career, and it's been as an actress that she's gotten most noticed. The modeling and dancing qualify Electra to be one of the sexiest women on the planet, though. She's appeared nude in Playboy five times, probably taught a decent percentage of strippers their moves with her aerobic striptease videos and draws stares in every appearance. Her taste in men has been questionable -- Dennis Rodman and Simon Cowell have been companions -- but no straight man wouldn't want to be with Electra, even now at 47.

A product of the East German sports machine, Witt was 19 when she won her first gold in Sarajevo in 1984. Between then and the Calgary games in 1988, her story became more compelling. She dominated international competition, despite getting upset once at Worlds by upstart American Debi Thomas. America outright challenged her East German homeland to reunite with its western brother. And, oh by the way, she developed into a damn sexy grown woman as a 23-year-old, with the bonus of being forbidden fruit from behind the Iron Curtain. Witt won gold again in '88, causing a stir by flaunting her sexuality with a revealing outfit relative to figure skating's genteel norms. Going pro after Calgary was controversial in her communist homeland, but with East Germany no longer a thing by the end of '89, it didn't hurt her long term. As a pro, Witt was free to be even sexier in soda ads and, to our delight, a memorably hot 1998 Playboy spread. Witt is now 53, still sexy and a popular public figure in her German homeland.

Hopefully you were familiar with both without the bios, but it might help the young'ns understand Witt's appeal. Very different women, very different paths. Let's see how it plays out:
ELECTRA
WITT
or NEITHER

I did more naked picture research on Witt. There are some pics from her Playboy photo shoot out there if people want more info to make a decision.
But to me Carmen wins this match up.
She and Pamela Anderson Lee kept me going in my teens.
Witt's face too masculine looking.
Carmen Electra.
(I'd vote for Electra anyway)
Fine, Ms Witt, by a nip. And slightly more holdable hips.
We'll also have SI cover models Kate Upton, Marisa Miller and Rebecca Romijn.
One of the requirements for me to post a picture on my profile was the woman had to have a picture out there that was nude, or at least significantly see-through, and that wasn't part of a hack. I do love me some Christie Brinkley and Kathy Ireland, but I couldn't find anything that would suffice for those requirements for them.
Tiegs was a little before my time, but the picture I chose of Miller was her 50th anniversary tribute to a pic Tiegs took.
ELECTRA: 15
WITT: 8
NEITHER: 3
̶B̶o̶t̶h̶,̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶m̶a̶c̶h̶i̶n̶e̶:̶ ̶1̶
̶S̶I̶ ̶s̶w̶i̶m̶s̶u̶i̶t̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶c̶u̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶:̶ ̶5̶
Carmen Electra moves on in fairly dominant fashion, though Witt made a decent showing.
It's worth noting that, of the four brackets, the Celebrity has been the easiest to call thus far. This went about as I expected.
Pretty good matchup in the next round, as Electra will take on Kiana Tom.
If I have to choose I would take Electra pre implants.
