NF Fashionistas -- Week 17. The Regular Season Finale of our Celebrity Contest
This is the final week of the regular season. This is our time to reflect on what has gone on over the last sixteen weeks and the events and moments that have lead up to what we have before us for Week 17. To reflect on the moments where one girl has stood above the others and made headlines by becoming the hot topic of the week. A time to reflect on the lows that some of the others had to endure. This is a time for some girls to get ready, to take this week as a warm-up to the greater challenges that lie ahead in the playoffs for the chance to don the Salvatore Ferragamo's. For others, it's a time to give one final look at the celebs who will not participate in the playoffs. A final look at those women who didn't do as well, but gave us something to talk about during the stretch of the season. Some of those women will be back for the next season, while more of them will not return. In some of those cases, this could be the final time you'll see them in this contest, period.
We have some great matches this week. While we have our twelve femmes who will be in for the playoffs this year, a lot of them still don't know how they'll be seeded. After this week, those questions will be answered once and for all.
Week 17 will have it all. The steppings for a new chapter that the playoffs will bring and the goodbyes we will have with some of the other ladies. The season comes to an end this week.

Thanks for everything you've given us all year, National. The work of art you've put together is amazing and nothing short of spectacular! This is truly the best foot celebrity thread in this entire forum.
AnnaLynne is amazing as usual. Look at her feet for proof of it. My mouth will never stop watering when I see her feet.
And Jessica Szohr is giving everything she's got so far. How embarrassing would it be for Krupa if she's the ONLY one to lose to her, especially if that match was in the final week of the season. Szohr is looking great, but I enjoy Krupa's feet much better.
There are so many great pictures to choose from, it's literally like being a small child in a candy store with many aisles of sweets.
And Katy Perry's clip is fantastic jerk off material. What a way to go out for some of these ladies.
Again, thanks for the dedication and hard work.

Both Audrina and Victoria look like queens this week. I'm very pleased and impressed with how the two of them came out this week. Victoria is still very hungry to get the 2 seed should she find a way to win this division, but I voted Audrina. Her feet are just spectacular and her soles are just about perfect to look at and to get a hold of. Victoria is such a rookie sensation and there's nothing wrong with her feet, too. Just looking at her pictures this week is a testament to what I just said. She's young, fresh, brand new, very innocent, and doesn't bother anyone. She probably has feet that taste like bubble gum. Very beautiful indeed.
Audrina, though, looks very, very amazing as well. That style and look is going to prepare us for how far she intends to go in the playoffs.
And Olivia Wilde's feet are always delicious. No doubt about it. No way she's losing to Kristen, who looks very good herself. I'm pretty sure her feet are very nice, but I'm not picking her's over Olivia's.
Posted by Duffy (Member # 33742) on :
You know that if Megan Fox looks the way she does this week, then only God knows what she has in store in the playoffs for the rest of the NFC. Megan looks entirely perfect in these pictures. They tell me that to her, the playoffs are already here. Can't wait to see her next week and she really shows no mercy to anyone else.
And please don't tell me that the voters are going to push for a victory for Jessica Szohr.
That Division 4 race in the NFC is still as close as can be. I want to see Mendes win that division, but McPhee's feet are at its absolute perfection. WOW!!!
The pictures on a number of these women this week brings a playoff feel to it even though the big tournament itself is just a week away.
And this is quite a competitive contest when you have someone who's feet are as popular as Katy Perry's not make the playoffs. That Victoria Justice girl is a rookie phenom and a legend in the making with foot fetishists around the world. And the fact that she's keeping Audrina honest at this point in their match shows that Justice can handle the pressure and is playoff-ready. And those two also bring in spectacular pictures. Audrina also has the look that the playoffs are here for her already. She is taking this seriously. Well, I guess for her, this is actually the playoffs because of what's at stake and the quality of her opponent. Facing someone who can also be the number 2 seed in the final week of the season is a playoff match for both of them. The winner certainly deserves a week off next week when she's rewarded with the bye.
My vote goes to Justice, though. But by a strand of a hair.
And Candice is just too hot for words, really. Her feet are flawless as well. Can't wait to see what she has in store for the playoffs. What shoes will make her feet look even more perfect? Can't wait!

National, when I look at the pictures you have up this week of their feet, it makes me want to do things with these girls that'll have be deported from the United States.
What the heck, I voted Kristen Bell this week. I know the majority will side with Olivia. But Kristen has very nice feet, too, and I think based on feet, she should have more wins. She looks very cute this week, as always.
And what the heck, I voted for Jessica Szohr. I love how she looks this week and I caught a hard on. It's my first time voting for her. Normally, Joanna gets my vote, but I only voted for Szohr because I would feel sorry for her if she finishes this thing winless. I guess none of us felt that way before when she was still losing. But I figured "Why not?". But when I saw how close she was to Krupa, I could not believe that Joanna did wasn't running away with this. We could witness history in the making.
If Chriqui can pull off a win over Candice (a loss I did not take to well to), and a win over Justice (another one I did not take so well), it's week 17 and she could very well take this one. Although Megan looks like she's ready to put her bare feet on the board and ride the waves into the playoffs. I voted for Fox's feet.
And I'm pulling for Stacy to win her division. Awesome finds with the pictures, National.

To add light to the Audrina/Victoria rivalry, it's time for the Fashionistas to engage you guys in some more entertainment that brings the voters a little closer to the women in question. It's a way of bringing these matches to life as a way of enhancing your stay and experience in this contest.
We have two shows to show everyone. The first one is (perhaps) my favorite episode in Justice's show Victorious. Yes, I watch that show whenever I have the chance, and, yes, I know its intended audience is geared towards young teens, okay? So shoot me. I'm not saying it's the funniest show you'll see, but I enjoy their slapstick humor. The second show is the first episode from Audrina's self-titled reality hit show.
You don't have to see the entire episodes, but it's there for those who are interested.

AnnaLynne just might win her division. You can't imagine how excited I am about this! I don't want to get my hopes up too high, thought, because Mendes can definitely come back to win the match against a Katharine McPhee who's dress and feet look like an 11 on a scale of 1-10. I'm also impressed with what Carrie Underwood has brought to the dance for this final week of the season. But McCord is just out of this world!
Seeing Carmen struggle against Stacy should make people ask themselves if Electra's legacy is going to take a hit if she fails to make the playoffs? I think so.
And a question for National. You said that if Alba wins and Olivia loses (which could happen because Kristen is not going down without a fight), Alba automatically wins the division. So I guess that even with a tie in their records, Alba takes it no matter what?
Actually, I have another question for you. Since you know that Alba will win should she and Olivia lose, how often do you break the ties as the season goes along?

If anything, I feel that her not making the playoffs would take a very small hit. I'll have to see if she ever finishes a season the way Kim Kardashian is doing this year before I really lose my mind. But having her miss the playoffs will be a reality that's painful for me to have to realize and might face. After being so dominant for a long time in this contest, she's definitely one of the more popular girls in here. The playoffs will definitely have a different feel to it without her in it. Some sense of emptiness, I suppose.
Carmen Electra Lives On!!!
And after watching some of the clips National has posted between Justice and Patridge, I feel that I've made the right choice in choosing Audrina over Victoria. Victoria is still a little girl who I'm sure is blossoming into something more special in due time. But Audrina is all woman.
Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
To answer 18th Floor's question, should Alba and Olivia Wilde finish with ten wins, Alba will win the tie breaker over her. This was something in which I knew I didn't need the tie breaking formula to do. I'll explain if the time presents itself.
To the other question, I don't have the kind of time to break the ties as the season goes along. Other than that Alba/Olivia situation, keeping track of who will win the tie breaker is something that I would need time to do. Most cases, I have no idea which girl will win a certain tie breaker because I want to be a part of that suspense with the fans. I want to be just as anxious as to who will win a tie breaker between two or more women.
The NFL, NHL, and NBA break the ties as the season goes along. Being the multi-billion dollar businesses that they are, they have people and computers keeping track of what's going on all the time. The fans and players know well in advance as to what the team has to do to make the playoffs.

Thanks for the job well done. This type of work goes beyond the call of duty and gives us more than what we could ever ask for -- the videos, the matches, and especially the pictures. I don't know how you keep everything so organized.
I love Ashley Tisdale. So cute with that puppy. Aww! I think that was done to get some sentimental votes out of the people. I'm glad she's one of the women who qualifies for the tournament.
As far as Victoria goes, I mean just look at her. All women her age should look just as polished and fresh and new and clean as she does. Her portrait alone (the first picture on the third row) gives you more than enough reasons to vote for her.
Posted by Jensen (Member # 33746) on :
Jessica Szohr still close to Krupa. Are you guys serious?!?.....
Okay, I'll give you that she looks nice than she does on most weeks, but look as Joanna's feet for heaven's sake! Sheer perfection! Those are pictures of a woman who is on the verge of winning this whole thing, and here we have Szohr making things interesting by keeping the match close. Someone with a record like Szohr's has no business being anywhere near Joanna Krupa. No business at all. Joanna is in a different league ENTIRELY than Jessica. Her lips are luscious, too, my God!
If Jessica Szohr wins this week, I'm turning the channel. I know there been some upsets this year, but this will be ridiculous.
I see what "footcenter" is saying. But I voted for Audrina, anyway. And watching those two shows that National linked shows how much Audrina has to endure and how busy she is. We'll see what type of shows or movies Victoria does by the time she's in her mid 20s because she won't be doing Nickelodeon stuff forever. So taking age into consideration, I'll give Victoria a pass. I won't be too disappointed if Audrina loses this week, but I might be a bit surprised. Audrina has one of the sexiest feet in the entire world. And I can make the same case about her portraits in this week's pictures. That's perhaps the best I've seen her look. I think Audrina takes this one.
And Irina Shayk continues to remind folks why her feet are worthy of being one of the top two seeds.
Going back to Joanna for just a sec, Marisa better not get too comfortable in the playoffs. Because if she runs into Joanna again, Joanna is going to win. The weather is getting hot outside, and Joanna is going to get hottER in the playoffs. Just watch.
And Duffy makes a good point about Megan Fox. I don't know how big Megan's lead was at the time he said what he said because Emmanuelle is right behind her. But Megan does look like she's in the right mood for the playoffs and I don't like anyone's chance in the playoffs if she runs into Megan.
Posted by foot_fashion_industry (Member # 33265) on :
It's like what National said last week: one win or loss can make a world of difference. For arguments sake, lets say Alba wins the division (although I feel that Olivia will hold on to the lead), it's possible that both can make the playoffs even if Miranda wins. Should this happen, that puts Olivia in the wild card hunt all of a sudden with Stacy Keibler (if she loses to Carmen) and Miranda Kerr. A three-way tie to determine the second wild card and only one of them will get it. If Stacy and Miranda win, first off, Carmen's out. Right? Then it'll be just be the remaining two for the second wild card spot. If those two did not face each other this year, the tie breaker can go to either one of them.
But since I feel that Olivia will win that division, Alba NEEDS Miranda to lose. And by looking at Lima's pictures, that could very well happen. Lima wants to end her year with a great sense of style that'll leave an impression on the voters. Even though she has nothing to gain by winning, she does not want to disappoint her fans.
Back in the first week of the season, I predicted that Kim Kardashian would face Katy Perry in the finals (based on how I felt the majority of people would vote). Personally, I wanted to see Alba and Katy Perry. I'm not that big of a fan of Katy Perry, but I think her feet are simply one of the hottest in here. If you saw that Katy Katy clip for this week, then you know I've made my case. But, boy, did my prediction sure went wrong! Both Katy and Kim won't make the PLAYOFFS let alone the finals.
I voted for Audrina and for Stacy to win their divisions.
Can't believe the playoffs are just around the corner.
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Stacy has a pretty sizable lead over Carmen. I'm going to go as far as to say that Stacy is going to win this match and her division. This season has really been a turn of events for some of these veterans.
I don't remember the pictures National posted of Audrina when she last faced Victoria Justice, but what I do know is that whatever it was, it was not as good as what she has on this week. Her hair is the signature that really stands out. This is the Audrina that can never lose a match. But I guess it's kind of hard to stand out when someone who's about eight years younger (my God, EIGHT YEARS YOUNGER?!) than her also looks this crystal clear. Even though I feel that Audrina should've had a slightly better taste of shoes to put on on the night she attended that event, I still feel that her shoes will be just enough to get her past Victoria. Audrina just retook the lead, showing that Victoria has a devoted fan base.
Emmanuelle has had the lead over Megan Fox for at least an hour. It felt like Megan had a pretty good lead in the early stages of the match, but seeing Chriqui pass her makes for a more compelling match.
And it's so nice to see Vanessa Hudgens back to help assist Tisdale to a victory. A year ago this week, Vanessa completed her 0-16 season and sent off into oblivion. But Hudgen's feet look so good next to Ashley's feet.
And let's go, Katharine. Damn it, you look great this week, your feet look great, they taste great, now BEAT MENDES!

No need to worry because it looks like Krupa is running away with it. At least Szohr made it interesting for a while. She provided some spark for this week even though none of us thought she would actually pull off an upset to add to the list of other upsets that had happened thoughout the course of this season.
And it was a pretty nice touch on National's part to include some surfing pictures of Marisa. It was interesting to read some of the things in there. Gives us a chance to see what she loves to do when she's not busy with work. And it further sells the image that she's the All-American girl.
And Kim does have some great pictures with her, especially the ones with her sister. But if you look closely at this picture, you can see several moons orbiting her ass.
Let's see if she finishes the season on a somewhat positive note.
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Wow! What are the chances of this happening? Jessica Alba had lightening strike in a bottle and by having Miranda Kerr lose to Adriana Lima. Lima has really turned it around towards the end of the season. A huge gift for Jessica and now she's in the playoffs.
But I'm also saddened to know that McCord will not make the playoffs. It was an incredible run to witness out of her. Mendes won her division and I'm proud of her. It will certainly suck for me to not see AnnaLynne. After a year's worth of chasing other women around to get the best record in the division, and still fall just short of making the playoffs, sort of makes you upset because now you'll have to wait for another season for her to shine through harder. And that's a pretty long wait I cannot afford to take.
And it looks like Olivia Wilde and Stacy Keibler will have to have go through the tie breaker to see who gets thee months or so.
National's going to get to work a bit to see which woman wins the three seed.
And what a match between Audrina and Victoria. Audrina was very impressive. One of her more impressive victories that I can remember in any regular season match. To win this match in the final week of the season and get the number two seed over Victoria makes her very worthy of getting the first round bye. She deserves the week off.

The regular season is finally over. The playoffs start next week and that's when the REAL season begins. After 256 matches, we finally have our 12 women who will participate in this year's playoffs. More than the regular season, the playoffs is a time in where anything can actually happen. Now, instead of facing mediocre to weak competition, each woman will go up against someone who is just as good as she is. Each woman has been battle tested and have had the appeal and the perserverance to endure such a long schedule that started since Febraury 8. In the playoffs, regular season records are not carried over into the tournament. Everyone starts at 0-0. Now it's the time to see what a champion is made of.
--
Olivia Wilde provided the spark needed to push Jessica Alba to the limit. In Olivia's two seasons in this contest, she has given Alba a harder time than anyone else who finished in second place of that division. In Season 1, Mandy Moore gave alba a decent challenge. She made the playoffs as one of the two AFC wild cards. In season two either Hayden Panetierre or Rachel Bilson was going to challenge Alba for that division title. Instead, Alba ran away with that division. At one time, Alba had a stretch where she went 11-1 against her own division before losing to Olivia Wilde in Week 6 of the 2010 season. That's the second best stretch any girl has had against her own division behind Megan Fox's dominance of 13-0 before losing to Candice Swanepoel in Week 4 this year.
But Olivia brought in a different taste to what Alba is not used to dealing with from years before. For the first time, Jessica Alba is not a division champion because Olivia made it a rivalry.
Stacy Keibler has become a story that will not be forgotten for many years to come. Back in November, I set up a match involving four women to decide who was going to get the final spot for this season. Stacy Keibler was the one who won that match. Little did she know that she would wind up in a division with Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian. Little did everyone else know that Stacy was going to be the one to end up winning that division. Keibler has been put through the ultimate test. She was voted as the People's Choice to fill the final spot for the contest and has made the very most of it by enduring the season-long task of being one the better ones to qualify for the playoffs. Not only did she win the division, none of the other girls in her division has made it as a wild card.
Back in Week 2, I told everyone that she was the first girl in Fashionistas history to defeat two SuperModels in back-to-back weeks. Now, she can lay claim to another acheivement that no one else can say. While Miranda Kerr was the first girl to beat both Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian, Jessica Lowndes topped that by beating both of them in back-to-back weeks. Now, Stacy Keibler can say that she is responsible for OFFICIALLY eliminating both Carmen and Kim from making the playoffs. When she defeated Kim in Week 15, that win officially eliminated Kardashian from playoff contention. Now, she did the same to Carmen.
Carmen and Kim precense in this contest was so prominent, that it became a foregone conclusion that if they didn't own that division, that they were going to lease it with the option to buy. For what has become the most intense rivalry in all foot fetish celeb contest in this forum's history, is in danger of just realizing it's full potential. Stacy never felt as if she was a part of that mix because it was always about Carmen and Kim. Then her motto became, "If you can't join 'em, beat 'em."
Weeks ago, I showed you guys a few links to another celeb contest someone else ran in which Keibler won the whole thing. Keibler is certainly on the fast track of becoming a much bigger name for herself in the Fashionistas if she can make the best of the upcoming tournament and win this whole thing. Two of the last three champions came from that division. And now, Stacy wants to make it three of the last four.
Congrats to Stacy for outlasting two legends and starting a legacy of your own by doing so!
Jessica Alba is now the only girl in Fashionistas history to make the playoffs four years in a row after becoming the first woman in history to win her division three years in a row. Now it can be argued that Alba is the most consistant winner for someone who has never won a world championship. The only other thing hurting her is that in each of her playoff appearance, she has been eliminated in the Divisionals (second round). In one of those loses, Alba was the two seed. Perhaps she can have better luck of getting past the second round hurdle by being the wild card as opposed to being a division champ.
Mendes joins the list of five other women in history who have won their divisions at least twice. For someone who has never finished a season with a losing record and made the playoffs twice, she's one of those who not talked about quite often. All of that can change if she can get passed the first round by beating someone who has been talked about VERY often. This is Mendes' time to maximize on her potential. The playoffs is where you are with other people who are above average with the chance of becoming the absolute best in the world. She's four matches away from doing that. I feel as if she's one of the more under-appreciated girl in this contest and this is the best time for her to erase that stigma that plaugues her. Even if your Spanish is not good, I can assure you that when it's translated into English, Eva Mendes "Sultry Cuban Goddess."
Of all rookies I've introduced to this contest, I've never felt a greater potential for a very bright future than I do with Victoria Justice. It's not very often when you look at a very young up-and-comer and have the intuition that very prosperous times are due to come. It's not too often when you look at someone like that and just know that when it's all said and done this person is going to be among the most successful of all time. Not too often will we see a Victoria Justice come through the ranks and have a lot of people give her the coronation as if she's already won a championship or two. Victoria is the future of the business and so far, she's ahead of schedule. Even if she doesn't win it all this year, more people will catch on to her in the years to come and give her enough support to take her to the promise land and don a pair of the Salvatore Ferragamos.
Unable to beat Audrina Patridge in her two meeting, she did push her to the limit each time. With the playoffs starting next week, the sense of urgency for everyone will be greater because it's win or go home. That's it.
Justice has awaken the NFC and given it a breath of carefree fresh air that has been darken over by Megan Fox. That's not to say I don't like Megan. That was my way of saying that Megan has been the most dominating figure in the NFC that she came across as a bad-ass, a dictator. Victoria stands for peace and an anguish-free world. Perhaps the people have made that distinction and have given Justice a lot of love and praise.
For someone that young to make the playoffs is the early sign that the Innocent Beauty is on the right track to much better times in the future. Perhaps the future ... is now.
Even though Audrina did not win fifteen matches like she did last season, but when you consider that other women have not been as dominat as they've been in the past, than Patridge is right where she should be. In fact, when you think about it, she's done a much better job than those who have been domiant before (with the exception to Marisa). Carmen and Kim have been dominant. Both won't make the playoffs. Kate Beckinsale? Same thing. Alba is going in as a wild card, Kerr failed to complete her mission under unusual circumstances, Lima is not the same. For those who paniked about Audrina's chances about making the playoffs, must be really loving her now. Anyone in a division with Victoria Justice and Katy Perry, have legitimate reasons for being worried if you're an Audrina fan. She was a bit shaky in the beginning, but managed to finish the season the second-best girl (record wise) for the second year in a row. She knows what it takes to get to the finals. This time, anything less than a championship IS a failed season all together. I can say the same thing about Megan Fox and Marisa Miller because of their dominant winning ways over the last two or three years. For the other girls in the playoffs, like Irina and Candice, they're rookies. They want to win a championship, too, but the pressure is a bit more on girls like Audrina because she was that close to winning it last year.
But Audrina likes the pressure. And Audrina will be ready.
The NEW Season of Audrina starts in two weeks when she finally particiaptes in the playoffs after taking a first round bye.
SHOES AT A GREAT DISCOUNT FOR A GIRL WHO IS A DISCOUNT
The Payless ShoeSource Awards is rewarded to any girl who finishes a season 0-16. Sometimes they say that someone's record can be misleading. In some cases, that's true. But in cases such as this, you must take everything at face value. You are as good as your record is. And Jessica Szohr just showed the whole world just how good she isn't. She did provide for a couple of interesting matches. In Week 8 she gave Megan Fox a bit of a scare. And this week, she stayed close enough to Joanna Krupa for three quarters into the match before Krupa finally had enough of teasing her and running away with the victory.
As comissioner of this contest, I don't like it when I see a girl goes winless in a season. Okay, there was one girl in this contest's history who I wanted to see go winless. That didn't happen and I won't say who that girl is (or was).
I'm sure Jessica Szohr will do just fine in some run of the mill foot contest. But in the Fashionistas, she was simply out of place. As a reward for finishing the season with a loss in every match, she gets a pair of flip flops from Payless that are on sale for $11.99.

TIE BREAKER
We have a tie to break. It's between Olivia Wilde and Stacy Keibler to determine who will get the Number 3 seed in the AFC bracket of the playoffs. There are many steps to breaking a tie. But in this case, the tie was broken pretty quickly. To determine a tie breaker between division champions, I must apply the rules that I would use to break a tie between wild card potentials.
Step 1 -- Head-to-head. Since they didn't face each other this year, I must go to the next step.
Step 2 -- Best winning percentage against girls within the same class. Stacy Keibler went 7-5 against the rest of the AFC for a winning percentage of .583. Olivia Wilde, on the other hand, went 9-3 against the rest of the class for a winning percentage of .750. Those extra two wins Olivia had was because she was in a much easier division than Stacy Keibler was. Olivia only had Jessica Alba to contend with while Stacy had Electra, Kardashian and Lowndes to worry about.
Olivia wins the tie breaker.
So there you have it. Here are the women are seeded for each class.
AFC -- 1. Marisa Miller 2. The Irina Shayk 3. Olivia Wilde 4. Stacy Keibler 5. Joanna Krupa 6. Jessica Alba
NFC -- 1. Candice Swanepoel 2. Audrina Patridge 3. Eva Mendes 4. Ashley Tisdale 5. Megan Fox 6. Victoria Justice
**Mendes has a win over Tisdale which is why she's seeded higher.**
In the first round of the playoffs, the top two seeds of each class gets a bye in the first round while Number 3 faces Number 6, Number 4 will face Number 5. So if you go back to the list, you'll know who will face who in the playoffs next week.

It has trully been a very memorable season. Highlighted by Kim Kardashian not only failing to successfully defend her title, but also finishing the season with a losing record, Carmen Electra not making the playoffs for the first time in her career, Kate Beckinsale totally collapsing (she's the first girl to miss the playoffs after starting the season 6-0). Highlighted by the sudden uprising of Ashley Tisdale to begin the start of what became to be known as the Parity Era in the Fashionistas. New girls like Irina Shayk, Jessica Lowndes, Victoria Justice, Joanna Krupa, and Candice Swanepoel, have found their marks in this contest. Candice, especially, since she's the Official Symbol of the NFC. Highlighted by the fact that she's beaten Megan Fox twice this season and later becoming division champion over her.
For Katy Perry, she now hold the record for winning the most matches in a season WITHOUT making the playoffs (11 wins). The previous record was held by Elisha Cuthbert in 2008 when she finished with 10 wins and not make the playoffs.
This season was also highlighted by the fact that it took Audrina all seventeen weeks of the season before she finally won her division and STILL be the Number 2 seed. A season that started on not so good terms after losing to Megan Fox in Week 1.
Another highlight was the first-ever meeting between Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes, which was treated as an exhibition. Another match like that was the two Official Symbols of each class when Marisa Miller defeated Candice Swanepoel in Week 3. Marisa's win over Megan Fox in Week 13.
And the turnaround for The Irina Shayk to get her first win of the season over Joanna Krupa when just days before she was unveiled as the cover girl of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. At the time that happen, Joanna was winning. After the fact, Joanna lost the lead and the match.
Thanks so much to the people who participated with comments and feedback and for showing so much appreciation and praise for the work I've put together. Thanks to all of you.

The playoffs start this WEDNESDAY night.
See you then.

Once again, great work for the contributions in the pictures and the videos that you show for everyone. I can't say enough about how grateful we are to have this contest as the go-to guide for celebrity feet and debate. Awesome work.
This week showed that (just like Combine Hunter said many weeks ago) that having every match as a rematch for the final week of the season was a great idea, especially since it worked in the NFL. It seems like no matter how you set up the schedules, there will always be some storyline and drama that will fit right in with them. It's a great idea to have these kind of matches in the final week because the divisional matches are the most important ones and a girl just might find herself vying for a playoff spot. You need to win the most important matches to get those playoff spots.
The matches in division 4 of the NFC showed us why. Audrina and Victoria Justice was another important match. So was Carmen vs. Stacy.
The playoffs are next week. If Megan doesn't win the whole thing, then I hope someone else from the NFC does. I think if Marisa represents the AFC in the finals, we need a strong heavy-hitting contender to stand up to her. And as much as I like Victoria, I think she'll easily fall victim to Marisa. Maybe one day she'll win it all, but I don't see it happening this year. Mendes doesn't quite fit the bill, either. That leaves Candice, Megan and Audrina. Any one of those three can stand up to Miller. Miller has beaten all three of them. I think who ever is on the NFC side, that that girl will get her revenge.
My prediction will be Marisa vs. Megan in the finals, with Megan taking it. Fox needs one more championship to really solidify her power in the NFC and lay the claim that she's the most dominating one there.
You better believe it when National said that Megan is a wild card that acts like a division champion. With Candice as the division champion, would've been division champ in any other division. She has a win over Audrina to start the season, and her record is better than that of Mendes (someone who she's beaten this year) and Tisdale (who she will beat next week).
You don't become champion by being a little nasty. And Megan is the most ruthless of the bunch.

It was definitely a great season even though my AnnaLynne failed to make the playoffs. Everything else provided great drama and suspense. I'm going to miss some of the other girls as we get ready to move onto more important things like the women who are actually in the playoffs.
Duffy raised some good points about Megan. But something tells me that Ashley is riding on a tidal wave that is very hard to put a stop to. She's the magical story of the season and I feel she has another upset in her.
My finals prediction will be Candice vs. Marisa. The two official symbols of each class going at it will certainly make for what will be a classic.
Before we get there, I must also say that I feel that Eva Mendes is going to get the win over Victoria. I also feel that Mendes has been a bit under appreciated and this win will certainly get a lot of people's attention. And I certainly love the pictures National had of her when he announced that she's the division champion. Those sole shots are amazingly hot!

Thank you, National. Without your efforts this contest would not be anywhere as popular or interesting on a weekly basis.
Looking forward to the playoffs, even without Katy Perry. 11 wins, wow. Just like the Patriots a couple years ago. Oh well, at least none of the division winners had a .500 record!

You're welcome!
I know how you feel about Katy Perry's absence from the playoffs. She was one of my favorites to make the playoffs as well. Those two losses to Victoria Justice during the regular season was what came back to bite her. After that second loss to Justice back in Week 14, Katy had to go 3-0 and hope that Victoria does no better than 1-2 during the same stretch if she wanted to make the playoffs. What happened? Justice did go 1-2, but Katy fell just short by going 2-1.
Her (Katy's) eleven wins reminded me exactly of the 2008 Patriots when they had Matt Cassel at quarterback. Winning that many matches almost guarantees a playoff berth. I think (I don't have the number to back me up) there have been two or three times since 1985 that a team missed the playoffs after winning exactly eleven games in that season.

My prediction is Audrina against whoever else. With Kim out, the door is wide open for Audrina to win what's rightfully hers. Speaking of Mendes having pretty nice pictures of her soles, Audrina had some pretty neat pictures as well. Well, her soles weren't shown, but I love them a lot! Those pictures show what Audrina is doing during her week off as she's serving her bye in this tournament.
The match that I will look forward to watching is that Stacy Keibler against Joanna Krupa match. I have no idea how the majority of us will vote on that one. If I had to make a guess, I guess the match will go to Krupa because she oozes more sex appeal in a slutty way. People might look for reasons other than feet to give the edge to one girl over the other if they feel that they can't choose one pair of feet over the other.
Also, I just might vote for Mendes over Victoria. If Victoria gets past the first round, then let's see if she can get past the second when she faces either Audrina or Candice. You know, come to think of it, something makes me a bit fearful of Victoria if she runs into Audrina in the playoffs. Look how close she came to beating her last week. Justice could find herself in the semis or the finals itself if the only thing standing in her way is Audrina.
But Audrina has the beach body and the beach feet to out-sexy Victoria.
