NF Fashionistas -- The Celebrity Playoffs -- Divisional Class
It is the dream of the challengers to become champions, the crowning achievement in their lifetime of accomplishments. It is the dream of the champion to surpass the excellence -- her legacy being etched in the annals of time.
All these girls are confident challengers. They are hopefuls who will stand to the face of adversity. These women are alluring visuals -- ready to show the others of how competitive beauty can be.
Throughout the rest of the playoffs we will witness their passion, applaud their heroics, marvel at their gift to enthrall. These girls will engage for the most coveted shoes in the business, each of them bound by the dream.
When all is said and done, one girl, exhausted, will have her arms raised high -- her quest realized, the challenges overcome. The others, expended will breathe in loneliness -- unwilling to surrender, they would have been stripped of the dream.
----
We have arrived for one of the most exciting rounds in the playoffs -- The Divisional Class. After getting through the first round, things do not look as easy. These women are on the verge to win the entire tournament in hopes of donning the Salvatore Ferragamo, the most expensive shoes named after the most famous shoe maker of all time who rose to fame in the 1920s when he was highly sought after to customize elaborate shoes for famous women in the Golden Era of Hollywood.
The Legend is brought back as a way to give thanks for the work he's done and now today's fame of women are vying for the opportunity of a Lifetime by being the only one to wear this year's edition of the sexy shoes.
**REMEMBER: Once a girl loses, she ELIMINATED from the tournament. So think carefully as to who you will choose. Also, in the playoffs, if a match ends in a tie, that match will go into a 24-hour overtime where I will ask the people to once again vote on the participants in question.**
Hopefully this round goes better than the last one.

Good one!
I guess you feel that if you mention the women by name, you'll jinx their chances of making the next round.
With the way Megan Fox was running things over the last few years, I would not have thought that she would be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. If all you did was give me the score of that match between Fox and Tisdale, there was no way I would've thought that Tisdale was going to have it because lopsided victories like that usually go to Megan. But no.
Ashley Tisdale has now turned into the girl that NO ONE wants to face, I don't care if her name is Audrina Patridge. As great as Audrina has been, I think this is the first time that she's a bit scared of an opponent. And this one is a lot smaller than her. It's not because Ashley has eliminated Megan from the playoffs, but HOW she's done it that has Audrina very concerned. This is the most improbable person Audrina has to run into in the playoffs. I bet that when the season started, no where in her mind did she think that Tisdale was going to be a major factor in whether she was going to make the finals.
Having said all of that, I'm voted for Audrina to win and I think she'll pull it off...somehow.
I went with Krupa over Miller. I think Miller is going to choke in one of these matches.
I've got Irina over Olivia, though I feel that that match can go either way.
And for my upset of the week, I pick Victoria over Candice.

I like what Marisa said towards the end of her video. Hearing that, she has the comfort in knowing that her fans are going to come in here and support her to get through this playoffs. But not to be outdone, Joanna comes in here with an extremely hot video that can help her get one over on Miller. If I were to make a pick, I'd go for Marisa. And I only think she's getting started. I do not think I remember seeing Marisa look as hot she she does in her first set of pictures. Unbelievable, smoking, an HOT.
On the other side of the spectrum, Candice is not wasting any time showing us that she has sex appeal. And Victoria? Let's just say that U2's Magnificent should be her theme song. Victoria has to look like that if she wants to beat someone like Candice. I think this will be the closest match of the four, even though Candice is the 1 seed and Victoria is the 6 seed. Victoria has something magical going on here. Looking at her pictures, the only reason why anyone would vote against Victoria is because she's facing Candice. Someone who looks like that does not deserve to get blindsided the way Megan Fox did last week.
I think I spent more time on this match than I did with any other. I think this is the second time this year that I voted against Candice. If you look at Victoria, she's serious about winning the whole thing. Not that Candice isn't. Is that I'm extremely impressed with the way Victoria is handling herself.
With the Olivia-Irina match, FEET GALORE! And WOW, Irina understand what this is all about. I know I said great things about Victoria, but Irina is appealing to the masses here this week with her second set of pics. Her Guess photos are super amazing and super super even more amazing all at the same time. National deserves a gold medal for finding these pictures from Irina. AWESOME find! Anyone who does not find pleasure in those pictures must be you know what...
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Oh, and I voted for Ashley. I do not know what to expect from the Ashley supporters. I'm convinced that Ashley has what it takes to beat Audrina. This has been the most up-in-the-air season so far. The playoffs are looking like it will continue with that pattern. And it's all because of Tisdale. Ashley looks more sensational than Audrina, I think. And I think she's going to advance to the NFC championship match. Going with what foot_fashion_industry said earlier, not only did Audrina not expect to be facing Tisdale at this stage way back when the season started, but none of us expected that either, given how bad she did last year.
Kim did not have an answer, Megan did not have an answer, and now Audrina is next.
Crazy!

Victoria Justice is so gorgeous from head to her pretty toes. Looks like it was engineered by God himself. Eve must've looked like this.
Audrina has the early lead. This is a quite comfortable lead as a matter of fact. I voted for her and I think Ashley's incredible run will run out of gas. Audrina takes this.
Miller and Krupa is war! It's a war that Joanna is going to win.
And Irina's got the goods. Very sexy and she reminds us that she has great feet to go along with the rest of her goddess hotness.

Great pictures from every girl all around. I found myself putting my hands in my pants the whole time while I was in here. Audrina's closeups are just made of heaven. There's no way that anyone can look at those and not catch an instant hard on. I voted for Audrina, but some funny feeling in my stomach says that Ashley is going to mount a comeback even though she's down by ten or eleven votes right now. After the way she beat Megan Fox last week, it's hard for me to believe that everyone is going to ignore Tisdale after pushing her to the limit all season long. Like I said, I think Audrina will win, but not before Ashley has a say in this. Tisdale definitely deserves to be where she is right now and she's going to make it all worth it while she's here. Because if you look at Tisdale's pictures, this girl has an excellent idea of how to win this contest.
I know we've seen Candice every week, but every time I look at her, I can't help but to ask myself, "Where has the world been hiding this babe?" Candice has this match covered on every angle. This round is so exciting because all the top seeded girls who had the byes last week are now entering the playoff tournament. If you can't make up your over who to vote for in that match, then go to the videos. Hands down Candice wins. Victoria does not have a clip out there that can do that in the sex appeal department. Candice is a Goddess Extraordinaire. Candice has some moves that Victoria can't master even if Candice takes the time to teach 'em to her.
Am I saying Victoria looks ugly? NO WAY! I would be disappointed if this match was a blow out. This is a true test to see if Victoria really belongs here. And the price can't get any higher than Candice. This is a dream match and I'm glad this contest is the only one in the world that can deliver these type of matches. But Candice will not lose this match.

Well, if voting for Olivia over Irina makes me gay, then so be it. While I do find pleasure in Irina's photos, I think Olivia has the secret ingredient to beat The Irina Shayk, as National loves to call her. I get a major hard on whenever I see Olivia's feet. No doubt about it.
I'm voting for Miller. But the clips of her and Krupa are now engraved into my memory forever. But Marisa, once again, shows that she's the all American girl, doing all American chores around the house. I swear if anyone gets married, their wives should do those chores in the same outfits and as doing them as sexily as Marisa Miller did in that photoshoot. You think the rate of divorce would drop dramatically? I do.
Thanks, National, for providing all of us with the best foot celebrity product in this entire forum.

If Audrina keeps this up, she can take this match quite easily. I guess Ashley might get a taste of the medicine she gave Megan if she doesn't straighten herself out.

National.. seriously?? of the 3 women that i believe deserve to move on, you have 2 of them facing each other! i'd love to olivia's ass handed to her by irina, but not because i think irina is all that but because olivia isnt.
i am also rooting for victoria to pull out this win and i think there is a chance she will. she is the future of celebrity feet.

Reading from your posts over the years, my guess is that those two women are Audrina and Ashley. I knew that match would be a dream, especially for you, to watch. I think what bothers you about it is that they're facing each other in the quarter-finals (this round) instead of the semi-finals (next round) to see who will represent the NFC in the Finals Classic. I understand how this makes you feel. But in the playoffs, I do not make these matches up. These matches are here according to how the people voted in the last round. Last round, I told everyone how the matches would be set up.
The Girls Who Made the Playoffs from the NFC and How They Were Ranked (based solely on their records) --
Division champs are always ranked higher than the wild cards, regardless of their records.
For each class (let's take the NFC as the example), the top two division winners get a bye in the first round. In the first round, the third-best division winner goes against the worst wild card (Eva Mendes and Victoria Justice). The other two girls face each other (Ashley and Megan). In the next round (the one we're in now), the best division champ faces the worst girl who survived the first round; the second-best division champ will face the other girl who survived. This explains the Candice-Victoria and the Ashley-Audrina matches. Had Eva Mendes or Megan Fox survived the first round, Audrina and Ashley would not be facing each other right now.
This is how I've always done it. Now I don't know if you had forgotten those rules or if you remembered them, but you're uneasy with the fact that they're facing each other this early.
I'm not arguing so I hope you don't misunderstand my tone. This is just my way of explaining myself to you, or anyone else who is curious, about why I have the matches set up the way I do.

It would be hard to find anyone more beautiful than Victoria Justice. She is devastating. If you look at her pictures, she's already at the level that very few can match on the red carpet. The fact that she is able to keep up with Candice at this level is a promising sign that she is the future of this business. Candice might very well have her dreams fall short at the feet of the 18 year old-ish Victoria.
I think anyone who wins the match between Irina and Olivia will not get past the next round where (I feel) Marisa Miller will be waiting.
I'm going for Ashley Tisdale in this match. But by the looks of things, Audrina has Tisdale on lock.
Thanks, National for showing such wonderful pictures of all these women. Marisa looks absolutely beautiful. Her feet are well kept.
If Audrina wins, we RIOT!
Posted by DSW (Member # 35008) on :
Marisa has pulled ahead like I knew she would. It was going to happen eventually. Marisa does not seem to be in short supply of voters and they're coming through for her once again. For my sake, let's hope Marisa holds on to the lead.
Victoria doesn't look like the sixth seed at all because she's pulled in front of Candice Swanepoel. This is turning out to be a great match. I still think Candice is going to win, as I don't feel that the time isn't "right" for Victoria to go all the way. She certainly the future, no doubt. I just think that Candice has the superior feet. In one hand, I'm surprised that she's ahead of Candice. But on the other, I shouldn't be surprised because she came so close to beating Audrina in the two times they faced each other.
Being labeled the official symbol of the NFC by National, it's kind of hard for me to believe that Candice is going to go this early. Maybe in the next round, but not this one. Now it's time to see what Candice is really made of.
And how incredible is it that Audrina is having little to no problems with Ashley? If there's anything to be surprised about, it's that! This is the type of Audrina that I don't remember seeing all season long with her dominant ways. She's turning Tisdale inside out. Like foot_fashion_industry, I thought that Tisdale was someone that no one wanted to face and I thought that she would give Audrina a lot reasons to be worried. But Audrina has answered the call and then some. I don't know what to make of this.
I'm wondering how comfortable Irina is feeling knowing that Olivia is still hanging in there?
And I'm assuming that National is going to reveal his next girl for next year's contest sometime this week. After seeing that Kunis is going to participate next year, I'm already hype for next season. I wonder who will else will join the ranks?

Hi, folks.
It's been a while since I last posted in here. This has a different feel to it because we're used to seeing Carmen Electra in these playoffs, whether you're a fan of hers or not. Seeing her in the playoffs certainly draws a lot of attention towards her because there was always that possibility that she could win the whole thing.
Without her, this certainly makes for a more unpredictable playoffs. One thing that I would've never seen coming is the fact that Audrina now currently holds a 16 vote lead over Ashley Tisdale. SIXTEEN? Tisdale has totally lost it in a span of a week.
Audrina is unstoppable. When it comes time for the playoffs, she does not play any games. This is the type of impact that makes a person even greater. And right now, Audrina should be seen as the favorite going into the semi finals because both Candice and Victoria are struggling to bust this thing wide open the way Audrina is doing.
Sixteen votes. That is unbelievable when you consider the type of turn around Tisdale has had from one year to the next. Audrina being as hot as she is with the feet that she has, it's impossible that she'll give up this type of lead.

i know, i know.. i just had to vent. its just not fair. i am happy to see that, at the moment, all my votes are ahead. lets hurry up and close the polls Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
Of the eight girls who are participating in this round, only two of them had made it this far last year. They are Audrina Patridge and Marisa Miller. Fads change every year, and this contest is no exception to that rule. Women are coming in and out, our opinions and different tastes in women and their feet might differ from time to time, but the admiration and the lust for Audrina's and Marisa's feet remains constant since the start of 2010.
There is a different feel to this year's playoffs. The Parity Era has brought in different flavors that are not brought to us by the usual suspects who would normally dominate the playoffs. Ashley Tisdale suffered a miserable season last year; Olivia Wilde made the playoffs last year, but she didn't make it this far; and the remaining four women are all new to this contest.
In the 2009 playoffs (of course I'm not counting the 2008 playoffs being that it was the first season), of the eight girls who made it to the Divisionals, Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian were the new girls. In 2010, two of eight women who made it to the second round were new girls. They were AnnaLynne McCord and Audrina Patridge. This year, that number is four. It seems like the new women I'm picking are making me look good by cashing in on the opportunity I'm giving them. But let's also give credit to the veterans who are holding their ground. Every year is a contest in where the new girls show that they've got it, while the veterans show that they still do.
Also in this year's playoffs, the match between Candice Swanepoel and Victoria Justice marks the first time ever in where the Number 1 seed goes toe to toe (no pun intended) against the Number 6 seed. But don't let the sixth seed fool you. The fact that Victoria Justice was THIS CLOSE to being the Number 2 seed can explain why that match is still as close as it is. Candice is essentially going up against a two seed before ACTUALLY facing the 2 seed, if Candice advances. The largest difference in the number of regular season wins at the time two girls faced each other in the playoffs was the time where a girl with a 14-2 record faced someone who held ann 8-8 record. They were the first- and the fourth seeds, respectively.
The Official Symbol of the NFC vs. The Future of the Business. This match is living up to the billing. I'm extemely anxious as to see who emerges with the greater appeal.

You know, that's a great point you just brought up. Candice does have a challenge ahead of her if she wants to win this whole thing.
And what was once a large Audrina leads is starting to get chipped away by Ashley. But I have no worries for Audrina. She's a professional and will keep Tisdale at bay. Audrina will get her votes in and make Ashley work harder to get the win.

Can't wait! My mind is still on Mila Kunis. She left a great impression on all of us last week. I'm curious to see what this new girl has to offer.
Posted by Another Way of Nice (Member # 42504) on :
We could be on the cusp of something great (or tragic, depending on how you look at it). Audrina was once up by sixteen. Not only is Ashley catching up, but the score of that match is just about the same as all the others. Ashley is right back in this thing. To me, this is fantastic news. This is truly the battle of the great feet. For Audrina fans, I'm pretty sure that you never imagined for things to be turning out the way they are.
Audrina has some fantastic pictures this week and it's real hard for anyone not to get hard. I got hard from looking at the closeups. But Ashley has it going on, in my opinion. Love the face pictures, too. For Audrina, considering how far back Tisdale was earlier in the match, Tisdale is too close for comfort.
I'm going to get some popcorn because I'm going to be enjoying this show.
I'm sorry, but Olivia gets my vote this week. If I had to make a choice between the two, Olivia's feet gets my vote. If I told Olivia she had great feet, she will hold them against me.
I think it's time for Candice to really separate herself from Victoria. Candice has perfect feet. And she's my pick to win it all.

I do, too. In fact, having Marisa doing chores like that in those skimpy outfits and high heels on a hot afternoon, I'll be so happy that I'll never get into an argument with her. Marisa has good values.
Man, National, I want to see who this next girl will be. Everyone wants to see it. I'm sure that whoever she is, she is considered hot by many men.

THE 2012 DRAFT --
We now return to Radio City Music Hall in NYC where the Commissioner of the National Fashionistas is about to announce another lady who will take part in the 2012 season.
--
Last week, I made my first unveiling of a girl who is destined to take things to a new level. I am still very excited and I'm banking on high hopes that Mila Kunis will have a successful season. I had her images put on display and showed a video footage to get us in the mood for next season. Already, people have welcomed her with open arms and will make her a part of the Fashionistas line of women.
And now, it's time to unveil my next girl who will try to make her way through the ranks of the Fashionistas. She's someone who I thought about putting in this year's contest, but I passed up on her. This time, I'm willing to give this one a shot.
--
In 2003, she was studying at Tavistock College when she was discovered, turning up for work experience as a booker at model agency Profile, based in London's West End. She was immediately signed up by the agency, although she had never considered becoming a model because she didn't think she was pretty enough. Though it didn't take long, work started to flood in. She appeared on Teen Vogue and Vogue Nipon, and was soon working with designers like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger DKNY and BCBG Max Azria. She said she was determined to make it all the way to the top.
She appeared in a new short film for Agent Provocateur and is a prominent model for Victoria's Secret PINK line, aimed at college aged girls. Her debut on the Victoria's Secret runway came in 2006 where she walked the Los Angeles runway amongst some of the world's top fashion models including Gisele Bündchen, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima. She was featured in a behind-the-scenes video diary with fellow Victoria's Secret models, Miranda Kerr and Jessica Stam. She was also named Model of the Year at the 2009 Elle Style Awards.
Recently, she became the first woman to be named FHM and Maxim's Sexiest Woman in the World in the same year.
And Megan Fox has company because this girl replaced her role in the third Transformer movie, resulting in worldwide fame and popularity that would've otherwise gone to Megan.
You know who she is. Ladies and Gentleman, the second overall pick for the 2012 National Draft, it's my pleasure and honor to introduce ...

This one is going to be very interesting to watch. Next year will be my first full season participating in this contest. That means I'm going to get a full sample of what these women are about. She's a very hot topic right now. She's everywhere. This can help jump start her success in this contest. And let me tell you: her feet are not bad at all. Actually, they're a little better than I thought they would be. Actually, I'm impressed. I'm not a big Megan Fox fan to begin, but I am certainly going to love this woman.
Because of you, National, I'm now a new fan of this woman.
That video was hot, too. While I think she's got the goods, she will be interesting to watch because I'm not sure how the rest of the people here feel about her. She could be a success or a bust. But I'll try to help her out as much as I can.

Sixteen votes. That is unbelievable when you consider the type of turn around Tisdale has had from one year to the next. Audrina being as hot as she is with the feet that she has, it's impossible that she'll give up this type of lead.
ASHLEY HAS TIED THIS FUCKING THING. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING!
Since Audrina's the higher seed, she's the home team. Tisdale has just silenced the crowd and they are in disbelief. She has taken all of the air out of that stadium and everyone is stunned silence. AUDRINA WAS UP BY SIXTEEN VOTES AT ONE TIME. HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE LET THIS SLIP UP?
NEVER in my wildest dreams did I ever think that someone as awesome as Audrina is, with the awesome feet that she has, would ever let this large of lead just disappear from her. Ashley has awesome feet, too. Don't get me wrong because I've voted for her a number of times throughout the season. But this is the playoffs where you're up against the best of the best. After 60 votes, she was up by sixteen. Now, after 90 votes, we're all tied.
Unbelievable!
This reminds me of the Miami Heat meltdown just recently. I knew that Ashley's matches were going to be the most interesting, but Ashley amazes me every time.
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
Candice is starting to get away with it and Audrina's done. If Audrina somehow gets out of this, I don't see her as being the favorite going into the semi finals because of what just happened and because Candice is coming to grips with how great she is.
Posted by DSW (Member # 35008) on :
I'm still in shock, man! Don't know what to make of it. After seeing this, I don't think anyone can stop her. Audrina needs to get herself right. Right now.
Also, Marisa has lost her lead. I still think Maria is going to win the match. But I'm even less sure about Audrina.
Posted by Snow by Summer (Member # 39539) on :
I voted for Joanna, Irina (boy were those some great pictures), Ashley and Victoria.
Ashley Tisdale has put an end to Kim's year, Katy's year, Megan's year. And now, it's Audrina's turn. If Ashley caught up to Audrina after a sixteen point lead, then she can catch her now that Audrina has regained the lead by a few votes.
I just put on a clean pair of pants after looking at her pictures. And I love how, in some of her pictures, she stands with her legs spread far apart. Like this one: http://www.imagebam.com/image/6104a0136771731
Let's go, Ash!

Looking at the pictures and the video, I can see why. If she put her foot in my mouth after having failed that test, I'd pass her with flying colors as well.
The videos really add spice to the pictures and it makes a more convincing case that she can do well in this contest. That goes for Mila, especially. I hope this one's not a bust. I'm more convinced that Mila will do well. But Rosie has a lot of potential as well. I'm a new believer, too. Her feet proves it.
Nice choice.
Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
What a week this has definitely been. But we still have some unfinished business to take care of. Audrina Patridge and Ashley Tisdale has some unfinished business to take care of. Never in my wildest dreams that I think this would actually happen. But it has. Audrina and Ashley finished their match in a tie.
In the playoffs, there MUST be a winner in every match. That means Candice Swanepoel will not get an automatic bye into the Finals Classic. She will have an opponent in the National Class Championship. All she has to do is just sit back and relax while her potential opponent has to re-energize herself after having been exhausted from all week long.
So stay tuned. I will post another poll in just a bit that'll involve Ashley Tisdale and Audrina Patridge in overtime.

I can't believe Irina lost to Olivia Wilde. First Alba goes down, and now this?
Good frickin' Lord....

**THIS IS A PREPARED STATEMENT I MADE ON SUNDAY IN THE EVENT OF WHOEVER WON THE MATCH BETWEEN AUDRINA AND ASHLEY.""
We are now down to out version of the Final Four, which we call the Four Finest.
What we've seen over so far in the playoffs, especially in this round, is that things become very magnified and that when the tension rises to its max. This is the time when everyone involved puts their best foot fowards and gives everything she has in the contest's final moments. This is the time of year where someone's name becomes cemented in stone with the coronation of the Salvatore Ferragamos, the most coveted prize in all of Foot Fetish Hollywood. These women are going above and beyond the call of duty when the time really calls for it. What happens as a result is that people are resorting to desperate measure in the most precious of times.
This Divisional round of the playoffs will certainly go down as the most memorable or exciting quarter-finals in this contest's history, by far. We had the women, their feet, and no room to fit all of them in the next round. What's best about the playoffs is that we have all these great women, who are amongst the most successful in this contest, going at it when it matters most because there will be no tomorrow for the losers. To answer a question someone asked me many weeks ago, a question that I never got around to answer, probably my favorite part of this contest is seeing who loses each match. When you have superstars in every corner, superstars going up against each other every time, I become very, very fascinated to see who loses each match, especially in the playoffs. It's like seeing two very excellent fighters, or two of the most gifted quarterbacks on dynasty teams, going against each other. People are always talking about how great each of them is, talking them up as if they never lose. To see one of them lose a match with so much on the line is fascinating for me to watch. That's the satisfaction I got when watching how these playoffs unfold in front of the whole world.

TOO HOT FOR RUSSIA
What started out as a very promising year for Irina Shayk, ended with such a disappointment. I though Irina was going to have a deep run into the playoffs, espcially how she was the Number 2 seed. I definitely feel the loss that she's carrying with her as she exits the playoffs. For anyone who's a fan of hers (myself included), this was certainly a shock to realize that after a very eventful year, that things have to end the way it did so suddenly. When she had those dominant performances over the last three weeks of the season, many speculated that this winning streak will carry over into the playoffs. Irina was facing an Olivia Wilde who was struggling down the stretch as the season came to an end, as her chances of winning the division were put in jeopardy when Jessica Alba went on a hot streak in the second-half of the season. It would've been something to see two super models go at it to decide who was going to represent the AFC in the Finals Classics.
Irina is the thrid 2nd seed to lose in the Divisionals (this round, the quarter-finals). Eva Mendes was the first one to lose her first match in the playoffs as the 2 seed, Jessica Alba was the other.
But congratulations to Olivia Wilde for going to the American Class Championship. Olivia is one of those girls in this contest who have half of the population who love her feet, while the other half doesn't see the appeal to them. It's a great testament to her, considering that I haven't read a comment from anyone who had anything bad to say about Irina's feet. But Olivia is now in a sacred place that only a handful of famous women in the world can say she's been. The AFC Championship is the opportunity to seize the moment and take nothing for granted. This is the place where losing is incredibly painful because the semi-finals is a place where the loser might never get there again.
Olivia has always been a good citizen of this contest, never bothers anyone in the world outside of this contest, and now the opportunity of a lifetime awaits. The chance to beat Marisa Miller, the girl who the AFC stands for. Even if Olivia doesn't win the whole thing, just beating Marisa Miller in the Class Championship will be the biggest win of her career, and she would be satisfied with that even if she never wins a world championship.

CANDICE KNOWS WHAT VICTORIAs SECRET IS
I'm talking about Victoria Justice. In a match that made this divisional round memorable was the showdown between two women who are pivitol pieces to the NFC. The Official Symbol of the NFC vs. The Future of the Business. It's only fitting that those two met each other for the first time in the playoffs. A match that can set the tone for how the future of that class will shape out to be. What I really love about this match was that both women showed a lot of beauty, grace and class and handled themselves like the epitome of what is Style and what is so lovely.
Candice Swanepoel took what she learned from her loss to Marisa Miller back in Week 3 to become the swan that she is today and representing the NFC in the way I wanted her to. This loss was something that Victoria cannot feel ashamed about. The fact that she hung in there with Candice for a very long time in this match (before Candice ran away with it) shows that the future is on the horizon. Victoria Justice will learn way more from this loss than she ever did in any other losses she has had this year. The fact that she was close to making the NFC Championship tells me that Victoria's schedule is ahead of time.
Candice now finds herself in the championship match that was named after this contest. I've never been more proud of anyone to have make this far than I am of Candice because I saw something special and unique about her intangibles that made me convinced that she was the Chosen One for the NFC. It didn't take me long to find Marisa Miller to be the go-to girl of the AFC, but it was a very long search to find such a girl for the NFC. At the time I named Miller as the AFC girl, I knew that whoever was going to be that girl for the NFC was someone who was not in the contest at that time. And for a while I thought I would never find that girl for the NFC. Candice has made me very proud.
The Youngest Women to Appear in the Class Championship for the First Time, Top Five --
Candice Swanepoel, 2011 -- 22 Years, 245 Days Megan Fox, 2009 -- 23 Years, 39 Days Scarlett Johansson, 2008 -- 23 Years, 195 Days Audrina Patridge, 2010 -- 24 Years, 45 Days **Olivia Wilde, 2011 -- 27 Years, 104 Days**
**The only girl in that list to represent the AFC**
In the beginning I did not think too many people would give her a chance. If that turned out to be the case, I was still going to stick with Candice because I knew she had "it" and that one day she was going to realize her full potential. Candice super exceeded MY expectations because I thought the people were not going to see eye to eye with me on this one.
Candice is very special to me. Even if she loses in one of the next two matches, it will not make me regret the decision I made in giving Candice the keys to drive the NFC. Not at all.
Victoria will live to fight another day. But Candice's moment to seize everything is now.

IT'S MILLER TIME!
Marisa demonstrated, once again, that she makes her matches look very easy, even in times of trouble. Including the playoffs, Miller hold the record for winning the most matches over a two year stretch (32) without winning the Salvatore Ferragamos. Perhaps this is her time to make those wins actually stand for something by completing her mission in being more than just an Official Symbol of the AFC. She's aiming for the title of World's Sexiest Feet. Marisa has found ways to win her matches and walks away from them unscathed. She has put together an incredible season and it's always a pleasure to see her perform.
Joanna was, for a while, a thorn on Marisa's side. She was the one who gave Marisa a run for her money throughout the season. Since the second half of the season started, Marisa seem to take off from there, including evening the score with Joanna by beating her in their rematch in Week 15. Marisa has made her rivalry with Joanna Krupa kind of one-sided with that Week 15 win and this win that eliminated Krupa from the tournament.
Now that Marisa has gotten Joanna out of the way, she can now focus on advancing to the Finals Classics and winning it. Out of the eight Class Championship matches (including this year), exactly half of those involved women who faced each other earlier that season. The match between Marisa Miller and Olivia Wilde is one of those matches. When they faced each other back in Week 12, Marisa won 51 to 39.
Marisa is the favorite to make the Finals Classic. But Olivia will try to make the case that it making it to the AFC Championship means so much to anyone in her position. Olivia will try to fight this tooth and nail and try to make it two years in a row that Marisa exits the playoffs in the semis.
"I'm always honored to see fans have this much support to come out and vote. And then to know I have fans all around the world is ... a huge honor. And now, I have a LOT to live up to." -- Marisa Miller in the FHM clip I showed

THE UNFORGETABLE SEASON FOR ALL OF US
I would love to take this time and give a round of applause to Ashley Tisdale for giving this contest and it's fans the unforgettable season that added suspense, drama, and a lot of intrigue. After a miserable season last year, I knew that this was someone who really deserved a second chance. Ashley has become the embodiment, the avatar, and everything that's right about being fair and giving recognition to women who have sexy feet even though they're not household names like Carmen Electra or Kim Kardashian. It took a little girl to become a woman and finally say no to the bullying that these powerhouses have done over the years. If it wasn't for Ashley, this year would've been quite perdictable and we probably would've seen the same every girl who have made the playoffs last year making it this year. Tisdale opened up the doors for other women who are not as popular in the world outside of this contest by making a statement that they, too, belonged in the Fashionistas.
The Shot Heard 'Round the World was that victory in Week 2 when Tisdale defeated Kim Kardashian. Ashley was never going to make a statement by beating a mid-carder or bottom feeders. There was no better way to let the whole world who you are by beating the defending world champion and riding that wave for everything it was worth. Ashley is the one who's responsible for the Parity Era. Every week, I gave a stat or two that supported that case. Everything became more unpredictable as the weeks went along. Things did not go according to plan, and Tisdale made sure that that trend carried over into the playoffs. She made sure of that by not just beating Megan Fox, but by embarrassing her.
In the match against Audrina Patridge, from the beginning I thought Ashley had to take everything from Audrina's house but the chandeliers to advance to the NFC Championship. But as it turned out, I think she needed to take the chandeliers to complete her job.
In a match that will go down as an all-time classic, Audrina Patridge will never, ever forget who Ashley Tisdale is ever, ever again. This was without a doubt, Audrina's toughest match in her career. Two women, who's feet are so closely matched in terms of hottness engaged in an affair that withstood the test of time. Never in the playoffs has a match had to go into overtime before this one. Like DSW mentioned days before, this Audrina meltdown reminded me of the one the Miami Heat suffered not so long ago when they had a fifteen-point lead with about six minutes to go. The difference is, Audrina won her match, albeit in overtime.
After 60 votes, Audrina was up 38-22. In the 30 votes afterwards, Ashley went on a 23-7 run to tie it up at 45. Never in the history of this contest as anyone ever given up a lead this huge. Audrina then went on to take a small lead after it was tied at 45. But Tisdale caught her again to send it in overtime. This is cause for alarm if you're an Audrina fan because I don't remember seeing such a rally for any one of her opponents in the way they did with Ashley. Secondly, it's a cause for alarm because of Audrina's inability to close out the match when she was that far ahead, allowing Tisdale to make Audrina work an extra day. A superpower like Audrina not beating her opponent while she was down and bloodied up they way Ashley was, shows some lack of support on her behalf. When Audrina had that lead, she went about her business as if she had already won the match, taking Tisdale for granted.
But Ashley wasn't going to go away like that. She wanted to give us another reason to as to why she is everything that made this season the way it turned out to be. Ashley is a true fighter. Because of this, no one can ever look at a sixteen-point lead the same way ever again. Something like this doesn't happen everyday, which is what made this comeback so incredible. And in overtime, Tisdale was this close to sending it into the second overtime. If there was ever a definition of someone giving the other person everything they've got, it was Ashley Tisdale giving it to Audrina. Everyone's breath was held to the last second. Audrina escaped. But barely.
Thank you, Ashley, for providing the spark that kicked this contest into high gear and made it fresh and interesting. I'll never forget it.

For Audrina, be happy that you won, and get as much exercise and rest as possible because she's back in the National Class Championship. In her last performance at that stage, she defeated the defending world champion, Megan Fox. That was the most anticipated match of the year, especially because that was the first time they faced each other. Now, in another Match of the Century-type match, we have the defending National Class Champion, Audrina vs. The Official Symbol of the NFC, Candice. This will be their first-ever encounter, and it's only fitting that this match takes place in where the National title is on the line. This match is where the money is.
See you this Wednesday for the Class Championship!

Olivia Wilde? Marisa has the week off, ladies and gentlemen. Marisa has the week off. Let's all welcome Marisa Miller into the finals where she will face either Candice or Audrina. I never thought the playoffs would come easy for anyone, but this next flight is going on cruise control. This is going to be one of those short flights from Boston to New York.
I've already purchased my tickets to the finals.
Good things come to those who fly with PanAm.

Believe it. Her feet are the stuff that goddesses are made of. Finally, a year in which people are getting their votes right on the money. Perhaps her trip to the semi finals will wake the haters up and realize that her feet are no where near as bad as they claim to be. And now, I have every reason under the sun to believe that Olivia can get through Marisa. And if she beats her, I don't want to hear it from the haters anymore. And speaking of Marisa, ....

Your head has been in the clouds for way too long, and it's time for people to pay respect to Olivia's feet. Being in the semis is no time to take anyone for granted. So I hope the world is ready to accept the great possibility that Olivia will advance to the finals and lay to rest all this hype about Candice and Audrina.
Out of the four that are left, it seems that people hold more resentment for Olivia's feet than any other. Now it's time for Olivia to quiet this storm for me and all of her fans.
I love you, Olivia.

With four women left, I can't wait to see which two will wind up in the finals. Can't wait for these matches to start.
I think Marisa has had too successful of a season to let this match go by. I expect some support for Olivia, but ultimately, I think Marisa is going to take this one. While in the NFC, that match is so much harder to predict who's going to win that one. I'm rooting for Candice, but Audrina could take that match.
I think the pressure is more on Candice that it will be on Audrina.
Can't believe that after all the craziness in this contest, we're finally down to four women.

While I think she's got the goods, she will be interesting to watch because I'm not sure how the rest of the people here feel about her. She could be a success or a bust. But I'll try to help her out as much as I can.
