Tournament of THG Couples Edition: Upset City!

The quarterfinal round of the Tournament of THG: Couples Edition is history, with only one of the top-seeded pairs surviving and making the vaunted Final Four. The second-round matchups featured upsets galore, most notably #12 seeds Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds knocking off the President and the First Lady. In round one, they took out #5 Brangelina. Hard to say which is more impressive. Here’s a look at where we stand heading into this week’s semifinals: As you can see, Prince William and Kate Middleton also advanced over a higher seeded duo, as did Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. Neither matchup was close. The only tight contest was Blake and Ryan’s narrow win over the Obamas by a 52-48 percent margin. A harbinger of things to come for Barack this year? Probably not. Ryan and Blake are better looking than Mitt Romney. The two semifinal matchups begin tomorrow with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart against Lively and Reynolds, followed by the Royals against Miliam. If you haven’t taken part this far, it’s easy. All you have to do is vote for your favorite couple in each poll, so check back with THG each day and do so!

Wolf, one of Millepied’s dancer friends, designed Portman’s engagement ring, too. “Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure
