Well, that was exhausting.

Round One of our Jewish Celebrity March Madness had some predictable results (did anyone really think Jake Tapper could take the Notorious RBG?), but also some upsets, and some really close races.  Here’s a recap of just a few showdowns:

• Neither member of Broad City is making it past the first round! Abbi and Ilana won’t have to go head to head.
• Winona Ryder held a lead on Rachel Weisz until the last few hours of the competition, and then BOOM! Ditto a last-minute reversal taking the round from Paul Rudd and giving it to ScarJo.
• Bette vs. Babs? Dylan vs. Joel? Bette, and Joel, it turns out.
• In a stunning turn of events, Drake is out in the first round! Let’s hear it for Daveed Diggs!
• Bernie loses, yet again, though this was much closer than the 2016 primaries.

And so, we present to you, the Round 2 bracket:

Scarlett Johansson is the new face of SodaStream! The Jewish actress has officially signed on as the first-ever global spokesperson for the at-home carbonation system, and will star in its upcoming Superbowl ad.

So, why is ScarJo, a relatively non-main stream actress, pursuing the path to carbonation? Simply because she loves SodaStream.

“I’ve been using Sodastream for five or six years. It’s a product I found on my own, just because I love carbonated water, but I hated the waste of bottles,” she says in a behind-the-scenes clip for the commercial.

Johansson’s first ad for the Israeli-based company will air during Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2, 2014.

Her favorite flavors? Dr. Pete, the Ginger Ale, and the Orange Soda (my favorite). If ScarJo has it her way, you’ll be off to purchase your very own SodaStream post-Super Bowl. But if you’re throwing a party, get it before–you’ll never run out of beverages!
