Other than that week where National payed homage to fetish photographer Elmer Batter with that Eva Mendes layout, this is one of the better times I've seen her look. Those shoes are a good fit for her feet. I've got her over Krupa.
I've got Kate Upton in a no-brainer this week. Alba and Olivia can't get a hold of Selena. But Kate Upton has no problems with her. That makes Alba's division look real weak. I've got Upton in the finals this year.
Jessica Lowndes against Chriqui is a REAL good match. Emmanuelle has beaten Fox last week and Audrina a week or two before that. She has a chance against Lowndes. I'm hoping for an Emmanuelle win.
And PLEASE have Rosie beat Marisa Miller.

This week was definitely unreal. I think someone said that this week's matches would get us closer to some answers being that some of the more important matches were between divisional rivals. I think we could not be more further from the truth because I think we have more questions and less answers than what we had going in to this week.
But since this contest is National's way of doing the Lord's work for us when it comes to celebrity feet, I know this contest will have everything sorted out by the time the playoff tournament gets here.
In the meantime, though, it seems like the only thing that's still in order is Marisa Miller. I'm amazed with how consistent she is. That's because her feet are consistently hot. Poor Rosie! I think that loss removed a lot of the intimidation factor off of her. Marisa now owns the division and no one can scare her.
And Audrina has got some issues now. Maybe the loss to Tisdale has had a lingering effect on her. But all in all, this is not good for Audrina. I'm at a loss for words. I can't wait to read what National has to say about all of this in his weekly monologue to close out the week.
Irina is another incredible lady. Even though Jayde must be disappointed with the loss, there is no shame in losing to Irina.
So many things happened this week. Jessica Lowndes lost.....

There have been very few times where I was not quite sure what to say in my closing monologue that would sum up the chaos and craziness. This is one of those times. Everything is spinning out of control. So many things, that I don't know where to start first. I thought about starting out with Candice first, but there's someone else who I want to address first.
Every once in a while the two parents must have a sit-down with their son or daughter to have that talk. The talk that expresses disappointments and a discussion that tries to come up with a plan as to how to fix it before it gets any worse. Another example are employees at any big-time organization or corporation. There are employees who stand out above the others in performance and excellence and work ethic. But as good as these people are, even they need to be watched and monitored. They don't need to be watched as much as the typical employee, but even the best ones make mistakes and even the best ones need to be coached just to refresh what the situations and circumstances are.
Just like in any sport, there are times when the best of the best go into a little slump. The slump gets into their heads and starts to mess with their psyche a little bit. When that happens, they need to see their coach or manager or some sort of specialist to work on their mechanics.
This week, I'm going to address Audrina Patridge. Right now, she needs tough love to whip her back into shape. She's been in a slump. That leash can only extend so long, because sooner or later the rope will reach its limit and stop you in your tracks. In essence, I could not let Audrina's leash go any longer. She's losing her way and I'm here to restore some order with her.
Not so long ago, there was a time when Audrina enjoyed the most comfortable lead between a division leader and her closest competitor in that division. Every other division leader had someone who was immediately behind her in the standings. Audrina enjoyed a comfortable lead, and now this is not a game. If you are among Audrina's biggest fans, you must be disgusted with what you've seen from her lately. Absolutely disgusted and a bit offended.
It's one thing for Audrina to lose some matches if she was trying to come from behind and her rally just falls short of a victory. But this is not what we're talking about. Instead, it's not so much that she lost, but more about HOW she's losing these matches.
She's now becoming, arguably, the biggest choke artist Foot Fetish Hollywood is becoming a witness to. It's hallucinogenic to see this turn of events happening with someone as prolific as Audrina. It's hallucinogenic because it's a phenomenon in itself to see Audrina lose her matches right when she's in the cusp of securing the victory. With 30 minutes to go before the polls close, Audrina has the lead right in her control. Then she loses the lead and the match. It's one thing if it happens once or twice because her opponents are incredible women as well. But when Audrina has this happening to her time after time after time, then we have a problem that cannot be swept under the rug anymore. I have NEVER seen anything like this happen to anyone else. Now when Audrina has the lead with 30 minutes to go, her fans hold their breath in hopes that she can hold on to the lead. Oftentimes, when they hold their breaths, they lose it.
Audrina was one of those women who would have the world stop spinning on its axis when she loses because those loses happen once every 2.3 years -or something. It's a phenomenon because this losing pattern is happening to someone who almost never loses.
Now Audrina seeks advice. Now Audrina is lost and she needs help. I'm here to tell her that she needs to WAKE UP. As in right now. No one becomes champion when they dominate the first three quarters of the match but then becomes a deer caught in the headlights in the final quarter of the match. That tells everyone that the pressure gets to her and she has a mental blackout.
For Marisa Miller, she's NEVER under pressure 'cause she keeps the pressure under her. Marisa makes her matches look as easy as drinking a glass of water. Perhaps Audrina needs to learn something from her.
I think the fact that Audrina had a decent lead in her division is what caused her to become complacent to a fault. Now, the Future of the Business is in her rear view mirror. Victoria Justice, who at one time was no where to be found, is now in a race to win that division. Victoria cannot be complacent because it doesn't look like a wild card is coming out of her division. So she needs to be more aggressive and get the division title.
Historically, Audrina has been at her very best when there's someone right behind her in the division. Maybe Victoria Justice will be Audrina's wake up call to do better.
Going back to what I said about Marisa Miller making her matches look as easy as drinking water, this match she had with Rosie Huntington might be the exception. Even though close is not good enough, it was close enough for Rosie to feel super confident in knowing that she knows how to get to Miller. Rosie put her thumb and her index finger close together to signify to Miller that she was that close in beating her. Then Rosie left the scene with a bit of a smirk on her face with the feeling that the next time they meet, things could be a lot different. Rosie knows that if Marisa is still undefeated by the time they meet for their rematch, she will be more focused and all the attention will be on Rosie for being able to stop Marisa's streak before the playoffs begin.
Marisa won the match, but Rosie got the moral victory. There's no shame in losing to Marisa because everyone else does and because Rosie is a rookie. Rosie is not fazed with the loss. One thing Rosie has that Marisa doesn't is a Bad Girl mean streak. Rosie is not fazed because she knows that if she gets back at Miller, all of a sudden she could be the favorite to win the AFC Championship, especially if that win gives Marisa her first loss of the year. If you're a Rosie fan, you kind of hope that Miller stays undefeated until the time they meet again so that her win will look that much greater. At the same time, if Marisa has a loss by the time they meet each other again, a Rosie win gives her the better chance to steal the division from her. That'll be another way she'll be favored to win the AFC.
So even though Rosie lost the battle, she knows the war is far from over. Anyone who's gone though hell in Transformers knows what war is like.
In the meantime, Marisa is head above shoulders as the best in the AFC. Marisa has shown that even through tough times, she can still find a way to score another victory.

Like 18th Floor said, so many things happened this week, that it'll be too long to talk about it all in one setting. Honorable mentions this week goes to Emmanuelle Chriqui for coming though with a HUGE victory. She now deserves all the credit in the world for sticking in there and battle though the ups and downs of the season. She can now be flying under no one's radar. Many people have suspected that Emmanuelle was going to realize her potential in this contest. She senses it and so do her fans. The fact that Candice Swanepoel lost this week helps make Emmanuelle look like a bigger threat in the making. Candice was on cruise control. Not anymore, it seems.
If Candice wants to live up to the bill as being not only the Official Symbol of the NFC, not only as the defending champion, but as the Face of the National Fashionistas, this is where the best look for ways of staying the best.

Next week, we have some crazy matches. Especially the main event. The main event is the match where the loser will have to take a SERIOUS hit to her ego.
