Notable Girls: Natasha Teen, Alicia Trece, Emily Pink, Veronica Leal, Valentina Milan, Lia Ponce, Daniela Ortiz, Rousse Black



This is the marquee matchup that needed to happen. These two countries are loaded with elite anal talent.

Will it be Julia Red or Emily Pink? Elen Million or Alicia Trece (Thirteen)? Sasha or Natasha? It is East vs West, South America vs Europe, Tropics vs Frozen Tundra.

Contest is a coin flip in my opinion. Russia has not been challenged yet and while Colombia squeaked by with a semi-final win by one vote but they did have the largest margin of victory (90%-10%) of any matchup so far. Both countries have incredible lineups. So many of my all-time favorites. What a foundation with Colombia having 2 GOATs like Veronica Leal and Natasha Teen, established girls like Daniela Ortiz, Alicia Trece, Emily Pink, and the upcoming new girls that look intriguing. Russia is rock solid too and has deserved the #1 seed from the beginning. Nicole Black the No Pussy Legend, the intensity of Sasha Beart, the talented Lara Frost, and super MILF Elen Million.



I am going to have to put to some real thought into this one. So let the debate begin!

[xxxEVOxxx]

the final is just too close to call...no idea who will be the victor !

[dap-addict]

Based my choice on current offer rather than on prospects, i.e. right now.
Both proveniences are import difficulty based. But both have also local porn productions. I valued Columbian production values higher. Based on girls looks only its pretty balanced considering the top, but unbalanced considering the bottom. Russia there is worse for my taste.

[dap-addict]

Btw, 3rd consideration should probably be the local studs available to work with these girls because they influence video outcome. Here Russia might actually be better if BBC is not a main focus of your interest. But if it is - and for many users it is! - Colombia will win.

[justinwarren41]

Elite Anal Talent!

Daniela Ortiz is a magician, makes cocks disappear

I am not sure anyone loves anal more than Stacy BloomChoose wisely

[dap-addict]

I am not sure anyone loves anal more than Stacy Bloom

Here I agree.
But sadly they treated Stacy Bloom in a way during her last work stay that she is probably lost for AVLP.

[justinwarren41]

Who you got?

Intensity and craziness of Sasha Beart

Or playfulness of girl next door Alicia Trece. Don't worry, this beauty queen likes it rough too. And that Ass and Gape!

POLL: Which country is producing the best Porn Talent right now here at AnalVids?

This is a final worthy of the name. And the right now is the killer question for me anyway.

Around summer-autumn last year I would have chosen Colombia, as that trip the NTeens made to CZ resulted in a gold mine of scenes (Valentina Milan especially, Natasha Teen also amazing) that lit up this sight in brilliant flashing pink neon for entire months afterwards.

Yet around winter 2021-22 I would have definiately called it for Russia, the seam of Colombian scenes had been mined out and Cyber Shot and Little Ninja were making the scenes of dreams for me. Dark-alt styled models, exciting new Russian stars, irresistible attitude and passion.

But now.

Colombia has been quiet this year. In the last seven months or so Valentina has only released two 'proper' scenes here. Natasha is pulling back from performing to managing-directing-styling (whish she clearly has a huge talent for).
Michelle Anderson has shone out as 'the-new-Colombian-model-to-watch' this year (her scenes have been uneven, but she definitely has star potential and is clearly building her momentum on every release).
Another Colmbian trip to CZ would be amazing and no one here would say otherwise, but this vote is about 'right now', not what may come.

Oddly, of the South American performers, Candy Crush has been the most consistently performing and consistently amazing models here, and were she Colombian that would swing it for me. But she is Brazillian, so not part of this equation.

And the main Russian studios NRX, VK, VG, seem to be in a bit of a rut this year, as much as it pains me to say so.

VK and VG seem to have settled on teen/college looks (socks or barefeet, pigtails, pyjamas, school uniforms etc) as their dedicated niches. Both Sara Bork (who I think is gorgeous) and Bella Tornado have probably shot nearly a dozen scenes between them now, and they have only ever shot in this style. If that is your niche, then cool. But personally it bores me.
And NRX has dialled back the productions from formerly being quite bold and adventurous in styling and settings, to (more often than not) naked scenes in sitting rooms. Which is how they originally arrived here circa Whiteniko, etc days.

Some of this (funds available for production costs) can - no doubt! - be blamed on the BS and deeply immoral western sanctions policy of 'collective punishment' of the Russian people for the decisions of their government. For which very single Russian has my hugest sympathy and solidarity (and all who cheered those sanctions on can go dine on your Baba's sh*t!).
But some are purely directorial calls about presentation, styling, setting.

Maybe sales are up, so this works for them. But with the departure of Cyber Shot and Little Ninja, and with the new Russian models I am excited about (Sara especially) mostly in a VK/VG style rut, I have bought fewer Russian scenes in recent months. And this while I want to buy more to counter the anti-Russian boycott-douchebags. But it's been quiet.

A long way of saying this is a really hard binray choice and I still can't decide, so will hold off voting until the last minute.

And I also want to say thanks to Justin for organizing this tournament, because it does take time and effort to bother with these things, and I think he's done a damn good job of presenting and mainting this thread-series. So all respect due to him for giving forum member this fun thing.

[justinwarren41]

Well we are almost at halftime and all tied up at 10 votes a piece, how perfect is that

While this is just for fun I do very much appreciate that there's a lot of thought going into who you choose to vote for so thank you bdsmpretty for extensive explanation.


If I am hyping Colombia, the foundation starts with two legends: Veronica Leal and Natasha Teen
Add in established girls and all the new intriguing girls that Natasha is shooting in Medellin, this team has no real weaknesses. Yes Natasha's recent announcement may mean a pause or end of her shooting but she's out recruiting new girls and I am hopeful of another Prague trip with a return of the original group or newbies. I know that won't affect this poll but I have my fingers crossed one day. Veronica Leal adding DAP to her repertoire is pretty good timing.

And for Russia, yes they have an all-time great in Nicole Black. Perfect flawless beauty, animal on set (watch any of 2019 released, my goodness) and her recent return to Gio's is impeccable timing as well. Russia has an equally talented roster and don't forget the teens from NRX and the Milfs with Elen Million and older girls like Lara Frost, Sasha Beart, stacked with elite girls as well.


5 days left to go to crown a champion...

I know it is excruciating but you can only choose 1

Gif for Natasha and Veronica's scene did not work, sorry. It was from the trailer not the actual scene and of course No Edit. Anyway it is time consuming to put this all together and I am trying to be as impartial as possible so I spent time looking at sales, model rankings, and nationality to pick the top 8 countries and tease with the best girls within that. But has been fun

So bdsmpretty, here's a tease for you that should make you happy..

Valentina in that costume... UFFA..! CHE LINDA!!!!❤ I can't wait to see the scene.
While the production quality (direction, lighting, editing) has sometimes been eratic-inconsistent with some of Valentina's NT content (CZ studios have years more shooting experience, while NT is still 'bedding in', so that's forgivable) the one element that is always consistently outstanding is Valentina; her presentation, her irresistable charm, and her unstoppable (she's a little force of nature!) passion.

And I do love it when Valentina (and Natasha, together they must have the most extensive 'dressing up box' in all Colombia) plays fancy dress. I was just commenting in another thread (re white creme) about how much I miss the peak era of costume play here (c2013-2017, Timea Bella, Foxy Di, Linda Sweet, etc), and Valentina, Natasha and Candy Crush are the models here who do most to keep that niche alive here now (abandoned by the CZ studios, to their detriment I think).

Viva Valentina!

[bdsmpretty]

Weird double post? I don't know why.

[justinwarren41]

Interesting last 24 hours, Colombia closed the gap tying it up and actually took the lead for a little bit. But now a big surge by Russia puts them up 16-11 and taking hold of the matchup at the moment

A lot of time left of course but this is a sizeable lead with previous rounds ending up with 40 or so votes total by the time it ends. I would like to see more of course but if it is the veteran forum members voting mainly, I'm fine with that as well.

Stay tuned

[justinwarren41]

Like a true championship caliber team, Russia is making something very difficult look so easy.

Since Colombia had a quick run to take the lead near the halfway point at 11-10, Russia has added 8 unanswered points and reach their largest lead yet. Timing of releases like the much anticipated Monika Fox/Elen Million scene do not hurt either.

Colombia may be in trouble here, are they in too big of a hole?

vlcsnap-2022-03-04-19h40m50s639.png (425.19 KiB) Viewed 8673 times

They will need a huge surge as we approach the backstretch so it is time to giddy up

Does Natasha and her Nteens, plus GOAT and Sales Queen of 2018, 2019, AND 2020 Veronica Leal have enough to pound away at the Russian lead with just 4 days left...

[justinwarren41]

We are into the 4th quarter with just 2 more days remaining until we crown a champion. Russia remains in the lead somewhat comfortably 59%/41% ahead 20-14

If I had a closing argument for Colombia, here it goes

Exhibit A: Veronica Leal, considered to one of the candidates for the AV/LP GOAT but what is not up for debate is that she is The Sales Queen. 5 of the Top 12 solo scenes of All-Time and the #1 Selling Solo Scene for 2018, 2019 and 2020. And 2022 she's upped to her game as we all know. Honorable mention to Angel Smalls who eclipsed Veronica for the #1 solo scene ever, no small feat. Click on her model page and you have to scroll way down to see all her trophies, she's like a 5 star general. You could have just renamed the site LealPorno back in those days

Then of course Exihibit B Natasha Teen, of course she's an incredible performer in her own right but La Jefa is responsible for giving us this, no words necessary

Vr_porn_picture_223.jpg (36.1 KiB) Viewed 8540 times

As bdsmpretty mentioned, the Colombia invasion this time last year gave us a huge catalog of fantastic content at Gio's and Gonzo for her Nteens (Hope the sequel is coming to Prague soon too). Do you count Yenifer CHP or Min Galilea? Both are Natasha discoveries and have lived in Colombia for about 5 years and the entirity of their porn careers. Born and raised in Venezuela so not sure of the ruling here. I did move Lydia Black to Team USA but could have easily noted as Canadian. Anyway it could go either way but I think Yenifer is vastly underrated.

I don't think I need to hype the Russian any more, their prowess speaks for itself. I just hope it is a close finish, may the best team win.

If I had to guess the lead is too large to make up with 2 days. Previous rounds got around 40 votes each, maybe it will be higher for the Finals but Colombia would have get a very high percentage of the remaining votes yet to be cast. But stranger things have happened! Make your choice before it is too late.

Either way, it has been fun this last month watching the results come in and hearing people's reasoning

[xxxVIPERxxx]

There is no doubt in my mind that the recent release of the Elen Million and Monika Fox scene did wonders for Russia in this poll.

That scene was insanely hot and very special.

[justinwarren41]

^I agree

[feltrough]

There is no doubt in my mind that the recent release of the Elen Million and Monika Fox scene did wonders for Russia in this poll.

That scene was insanely hot and very special.

You are right i voted for Russia based on this scene it is very close call almost tied because both countries have amazing performers, but this scene pushed me in one direction.

[xxxVIPERxxx]

When does this poll end? It seems like Russia has got this in the bag now! Was thinking and expecting it to be a lot closer than it actually is currently.

[dap-addict]

Poll runs still 30 hours.
If silent readers would vote a lot could change still.
But sadly most silent readers are just passive.

[bake0213]

If it were a war, Colombia would probably kick their ass. Porn, not so much.

[justinwarren41]

Well you have to play until the final whistle but thing is over. I will send out a final recap and some thoughts, reactions.

Congrats to Russia, Best Porn Stars in the World!

Love the international aspect of the site, some emerging countries in the last few years are exciting to see, Thanks for everyone's participation

[cumdump]

Send me Elen Million, Monika Fox, Stacy Bloom, Arwen Gold, Henessy, Aletta Black, Sindy Rose, Nataly Gold, and Kira Thorn, and I will be Happy for the rest of my Life, it would be hard to defect. My Loyalty would lie with the Russians due to these beautiful ladies, I could not resist. The Russians have quite the lineup of beauties.

[plajvaz]

justinwarren41, congratulations for this great poll!

In the finals, I have voted for Russia.

But, it seems that my preferences are pretty different than the majority of voters in this polls.

Based on my impressions, I would rank these 8 countries as follows:

1. Czech Republic
Reasons: Brittany Bardot and Rebecca Sharon are top performers, very passionate with great anal skills, including fisting, prolapse and piss drinking. Susan Ayn made a very impresive come back. Sandra Soul and Taylee Wood are always interesting.

2. Brazil
Reasons: Polly Petrova made great progress and really great scenes during the last year, always pushing her limits. Natasha Rios was also great, as well as Candy Crush, Cris Bathory and LP legend Francys Belle. So, in my opinion, Brazil is close second.

3. United States
Reasons: Anna de Ville (obviously), but, in my opinion, Dee Williams pushed United States to the third place, in front of Russia. There are also Avery Jane, Sam Zee with her interesting amateurish content and nasty Rebel Rhyder (Rebel didn't shoot for main LP studios in the last year, but scenes from her own studio were nevertheless very nasty and interesting).

4. Russia
Reasons: As I have mentioned before, Russia always have great performers, but Russian squad in the last two years is not at the same level as in previous years. Some top performers are not active on LP anymore (Monika Wild, for example). Nicole Black made a comeback, but that comeback was not so impresive. Alexa Flexy didn't make proper LP scene in the last two years. On the other side, Stacy Bloom, Monika Fox and Elen Million had some very good scenes and that is enough for the 4th place.

5. Colombia
Reasons: Several very good performers (Natasha Teen, Veronica Leal, Daniela Ortiz, Emily Pink), but, in my opinion, there is a lack of real passion in their scenes. If they were more passionate (like Brittany Bardot, Adeline Lafouine, Alexxa Vice or Polly Petrova), I would rank Colombia ahead of Russia.

6. England
Reasons: Alexxa Vice is great, passionate, filthy performer. In the last year, she broke all boundaries with her extreme nastiness and dirtiness. She brings something new and unusual in each of her scenes. Unfortunatelly, Alexxa is the only top performer from England in the last year.

7. Thailand
Reasons: Similar reasons as for England. Instead of Alexxa Vice, here we have Jureka Del Mar. But, in the last year Jureka was not so filthy and extreme as she could be and as she was few years ago. Thus, I rank Thailand below England.

8. Italy
Reasons: Since Sara Bell is not active on LP for more than one full year (she is not active from february 2021), there is no enough quality content from Italy to rank them above Thailand or England. Giada Sgh has potential, but she mostly played supporting roles in the last year. If Sara Bell makes a proper comeback, it will launch Italy at the top half of the table.

Anyway, this is just my opinion...

Anyway, this is just my opinion...

Thank you for your valuable forum post contribution. That was a very good post you made, detailed and insightful.
I would have rated Russia higher than 4th, Italy higher than 8th, and USA a lot lower than 3rd. But that is just my own personal view.
One thing we can all agree on, is that the talents on LP/AV are still there and it is certainly a big draw for a lot of performers.

Some of them work regularly for 3-4 years here, build up a solid fanbase and then sadly disappear
The real legends and GOATS are those who show consistency, longevity, and who push their sexual boundaries further and further.

It is hard to rank the 8 nations, but my gut feeling would have been as follows:

1) Russia - the poll suggested they were the winners, and for the stream of talents they have produced in the past 5 years. Not many can argue that they deserve a top 3 standing, and have many future GOATs.
2) Czech Republic - again, some GOATs from this nation. Lots of talented performers from this nation, especially Kristy Black who is firm fan favourite.
3) Colombia - this nation has been on an upward trajectory. If Natasha Teen was to perform regularly for Giorgio and Gonzo, it would make top 2. Lots of great starlets coming through.
4) Brazil - very sexy and great models from this nation. Francys Belle is a legend, Kelly Oliveira will be a future GOAT if she continues performing regularly on here. Many other big and popular names.
5) Italy - lots of very decent talents from Italy. But the biggest name is Sara Bell and she has unfortunately, been absent for over a year. Would be higher if Sara was back performing extreme sex scenes regularly.
6) England - Alexxa is carrying England ahead currently. Not too many regular English performers on AV. Barbie Sins has gone missing recently from Giorgio, sadly
7) USA - limited depth, breadth and frequency of US talents mean they are low on the list. Also, they tend to be more expensive to book than European counterparts. Of course, there are some great talents such as Syren de Mer, Dee Williams, Lydia Black, Avery Jane etc. But again, we do not see them enough to deserve a higher ranking.
8) Thailand - great nation, great talent. The biggest downside is just the limited number of Thai performers. As someone pointed out, Jureka is the only one who performs regularly (and we thank her for it). May has taken a temporary break/retirement. Suzie Q and Polly do not feature that much.

Giada Sgh has potential, but she mostly played supporting roles in the last year. If Sara Bell makes a proper comeback, it will launch Italy at the top half of the table.

For me it looks like you are too much concentrated on Sara Bell to come to a fair assessment of Italy's potential. Haven't you seen all the new Italian talents GIO brought to Prague in 2021?
Anna Khara
Dalila Dark
Moona Snake
Elisabetta Zaffiro
Miriam More
Mali Ubon
Victoria Nix

8. Italy
Haven't you seen all the new Italian talents GIO brought to Prague in 2021?

Well, it is really not possible to cover/follow everything. There is a lot of content + inflated prices. And I can't judge on the basis of the trailers alone.

[justinwarren41]

Thanks for the clarification on how everyone saw this. My post script: Largely went the way I thought.

2 surprises, Italy over Brazil. I did not see this one coming. Polly Petrova, Natasha Rios, new girls at Mambo Perv/Yummy Estudios. All time greats like Francys Belle back at Gios. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Silvia Soprano and Jessy Jey (back at Gio's right now!) but Brazil was loaded I thought.

2nd was the margin of victory by Russia not necessarily the result. Final tally was 60/40 but it was larger than that until the last few hours before it closed. Timing is everything, Monika Fox finally getting to Gio's, Elen Million is on fire in 2022, Nicole Black, Julia Red both return after long breaks. But if this was a year ago when all the Nteens (Natasha, Daniela Ortiz, Valentina Milan, Alicia Trece, Emily) releases were coming out after their spring Prague trip, add in a GOAT candidate like Veronica Leal it may have been a different result. But to the victor go the spoils.

Maybe revisit in a year or so, more countries was the feedback I got. Maybe Group Play with 4 countries, top 2 advance. I did one on one matchups to avoid a group of death where a formidable contender could lose out early. I think one thing was it was more about depth than 1 or 2 big stars. USA and Anna de Ville didn't make it out of the quarterfinals. US travel has affected things recently so not the talent depth than say a few years ago with Charlotte Sartre, Avi Love, Zoe Sparks, Febby Twigs etc. Hope that changes soon.

That's all I got for now. Thanks everybody!! Throw out ideas for the next poll too! Girl to girl comparison I'd like to avoid, many girls mention on Twitter they hate being compared to other girls.

[dap-addict]

I felt Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain and France were missing.
Maybe an additional, outsiders, poll?

Hehe, I knew you were the type of person who would mention and like the outsiders.
Everyone loves a dark horse to win !

[justinwarren41]

Definetely will have number enter the poll, now that we have the top 8, mix in some new contenders. Maybe in a year or so.

I have a question, overall votes casted was low, around 40-45 for each round. Not sure I'm disappointed because it is very heavily weighted towards veteran members and fans who check the forum/site everyday. I thought about posting on Twitter to check it out and vote but didn't want to sway anything one way or the other once it had kicked. For example, plajvas GOAT poll had 400+ for the finals. Was it just a more intriguing poll with more options or I am missing something. Do less people participate in the forum than a year ago lets say?

Just some thoughts, I'm happy with how it turned out overall though, just curious

[dap-addict]

I have a question, overall votes casted was low, around 40-45 for each round.

Its always a sample voting for years already.
This GOAT poll had worse turnout for instance: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=40999&p=626497&hilit=GOAT+poll#p626497

Btw, where is the GOAT poll you refer to?

[justinwarren41]

This was the one I was referring to by plajvas. Referred to as "The Queen of LegalPorno" not GOAT, sorry

557 votes for the finals

https://forum.pornbox.com/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=28428

[dap-addict]

Well, thats a very interesting poll I have almost forgotten about, thanks justin! I also put links to both semi-finals here, because countries of origin, but also names of those who didnt make it into finals are quite interesting:
S-F1: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=28243&p=388741&hilit=+Poll#p388741
S-F2: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=28246&p=388745&hilit=+Poll#p388745

Now generally its difficult to compare these polls since girls names are always more attractive than countries.
Than Plajvaz poll run over 14 days and yours over 10 days only.
And finally that high number of 557 votes is helped by 5 votes handed out, thus you'd have to divide it by 5 ofc. Which makes 87 to 111 votes for each poll, still.

[dap-addict]

Btw, Slovakia, Germany, Romania, Latvia and Ukraine didnt make it in 2020 - and got also no chance to even try in 2022.

[justinwarren41]

Oh you are right. 10 choices and 5 votes per poll would logically result in more votes cast compared to 2 choices 1 vote allowed. That's kind of obvious
