But on a more serious note, Audrina sees Candice as competition. But unlike myself who laughed at what you just said there, Audrina is not laughing. This is serious business for her. The lead Audrina has on Candice is not enough for her to start feeling calm about herself. Candice has brought it this week with her pictures and that video.

In a few hours, the 2013 Draft will continue in which I will officially unveil the newest participant for next year's competition.

Last week, I introduced Bar Refaeli as the first overall pick of the draft. As the National Fashionistas is turning the page and moving forward into the second-half of our first decade together, I told everyone last week that Bar will be the stepping stone and the symbol of someone who will pave the way for our moments going forward.

In a few hours, the next pick wants to create spark and interest as well.

This is where it gets real, these matches were hard to predict from the start.

Right now Rosie has the lead over Marisa and for Marisa, this is the one opponent she did not want to face. Marisa is a nice girl while Rosie is not nice. Rosie is a bully and it's showing which is pretty hot. My vote went to Rosie.

I'm suprise that Irina has been losing to Stacy as after Irina lost 2 in a row in the season, she has destroyed everyone in her path but it seems like she calm down which is something you can't do in the playoffs. It's not over yet but last year Irina choked in the playoffs and will she repeat? We'll find out. My vote went to Irina.

Ashley does look good in these pics but Kate is just too much of a goddess, those pumps are super sexy Kate can walk all over me any time she wants to. I guess Kate was walking all over Ashley early on but not anymore. IF there is one opponent not to just simply walk all over, it's Ashley as now look what happen. Great match but in the end, my vote went to Kate.

Now for the main event in my eyes or at least every Audrina match. This has been the one opponent Audrina has yet to beat in the contest. Last year Candice won the semi-finals and in the 1st match of the season against Audrina but this time Audrina has been on fire since that talk National gave to her and this time, Audrina will beat Candice once and for all. Unlike Candice who has to rely on her friends to help her win, Audrina doesn't need her friends to help win matches. Not only will Audrina finally beat Candice but will be on her way to win the championship that she was suppose win against Kim Kardashian 2 years ago. My vote goes to Audrina of course

You made some pretty good points there, Undershoes. The only match you and I voted differently on was the Audrina vs. Candice encounter.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a tough draw for Marisa. Marisa wants nothing to do with Rosie. I'm glad Rosie is doing everything she can to hold off Marisa. I rarely vote for Marisa and I find myself voting for Rosie quite often. In fact, I don't remember a time where I voted against Rosie. If I did, her opponent must've been real hot. Anyway, as much as I don't like Miller, the fact that she's gone three straight seasons with a 15-1 record is simply astonishing. You don't compile a record like that over the course of three years and not know what you're doing. I think Rosie is unlike anything Marisa has to face. I will be upset but not surprised if Marisa winds up winning this.

I'm a little surprised that Stacy is still winning this match. Irina is looking so good in those pictures. I especially love the shot where there's a closeup of the bottom of her shoe. This is the shot I'm talking about. http://www.imagebam.com/image/a70b8d196018545

I don't think there's any dirt underneath those shoes. Amazing, when you think about it. For the Marisa match, I said that I won't be surprised if she loses. But in this match, I will be BOTH surprised and disappointed if Irina loses. Not that I don't like Stacy, because I voted for her many times this year. It's just that I like Shayk better.

I don't know what to make of this Tisdale comeback. Please don't tell me that Upton is going to lose. Way back in Week 1, I predicted that Upton would make the finals. She has to keep her perfect season intact. Speaking of perfect, I wonder if National knows about Matt Cain pitching a perfect game for the Giants days ago. Matt Cain gets to join Kate Upton's Perfect Club. That lucky son of a bitch! I feel so bad for Justin Verlander.

Anyway, if Kate loses this match, I'm going to lose all hope for humanity.

For Candice and Audrina, that match can go either way, but I have Candice finding a way to win somehow. For Audrina, I don't see how National is going to get on her case this time. This would be a quality loss for her. Yeah, that would be an elimination from the playoffs, and of course she would be upset. But I don't see how National is going to go off on her the way he did before IF she loses.

Well, come to think of it, if he does go off on her, it might be because if she loses, he might say something about how she does well in the regular season, but not so much in the playoffs, especially if she gets eliminated from this round.


And I can't wait to see who National selects next in the draft. Bar Refaeli's pictures and that video still resonates in my mind. I am indifferent when it comes to how I feel about her, but she does make a great add for the contest. I, for one, can't wait.

THE 2013 NATIONAL DRAFT


Last week I gave notice about a big name that will take her hold in the Fashionistas. Bar Refaeli was that well-recognized name. She's the international superstar who will lead the way of what the future brings for all of us. I have given her that responsibility, and she is set to ride it for everything it's worth. This week, I have another big name in store you.

This next one is an American fashion model best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was born in Kettering, Ohio, but grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina.

She has been turning heads since 2006 when she made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she continues to make men swoon. She has also been featured in pictorials for Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, FHM, blah ... blah ........ blah. You know it goes with these models.

She's is also branching out into acting. She had a guest appearance on NBC's "Chuck," where she played a model applying to be a Buy More Girl. She also had guest appearances on "Ugly Betty" and on USA Network's "Royal Pains" playing a ... wait for it ... swimsuit model!

Kate Upton graced the cover of SI's Swimsuit Issue this year. Last year, it was Irina Shayk. The year before, it was the woman who I'm about to introduce.


For our next pick in the 2013 National Draft, the Fashionistas presents ...

Bar Refaeli is first, now Brooklyn Decker. This is great. I mean, it's like the New York Yankees signing the biggest, most prominent free agents and trying to cram them in to a roster that's ALREADY filled with superstars and all-stars and future hall of famers. This is essentially what you're doing, National. Not that I'm complaining at all.

Brooklyn is a great add behind Refaeli and those two can compliment each other. Just imagining them alongside the likes of Candice, Audrina, Jessica Lowndes, Mila, and Rosie..... I swear it's going to feel like the playoffs every single week next year. And, oh yeah, let's not forget that Kate Upton will compete next year with those women as well. People are not going to know where to begin next year.

The world will not be big enough now that those two have been added to the mix.


Thanks for giving us this special treat of what is to come next year. Brooklyn Decker is good enough to lower someone's wins totals from last year. I feel that Bar Refaeli will have a bit more of an impact, but Decker will certainly make some statement.

What is this world coming to?

In less than 12 hours, we will have the winners. And I'm as nervous as fuck. Upton has responded to Tisdale's comeback pretty well because Upton was not able to let Ashley make that lead any bigger than what it was.

This time I hope that Upton keeps the lead. Undershoes is right in that Upton is too much of a Goddess to let this one get away. As great as Tisdale has been, and with all the wins she's had against the big names, Upton is in a position where she HAS to finish what she started. The perfect season is just two three wins away. I love everything about Upton's pictures and I hope that will reignite the people who haven't voted yet to vote in her favor.

Before I comment on my thoughts on the newest girl announced for next year's contest, let me first say that Kate Upton has REALLY impressed me with her performance in her playoff debut. She is more than ready to complete the perfect season and join Megan Fox as the only other girl to do so in history. Ashley's the queen of comebacks, but with the time that's left, I don't think she can come back from this one. I don't think there will be enough voters left to help Tisdale make up for this deficit. Kate's the unofficial winner of this match because I'm already booking her for the semi finals where she will face either Candice or Audrina.

But back to Upton. I'm impressed with Tisdale's efforts, but to see her get beat the way she is at the moment gives me the chills. How can you not love the pictures Kate has this week? I swear, I think my tongue will run out of saliva if it ran laps around Kate's feet.

And Kate's last set. She's looking for some dick in her ass. Am I right? Love Ashley's attempt at being dominant in her last four pictures of her last set, but Kate's not leaving much to the imagination in her last set.

That says it all in a nutshell. Love how you showed the pictures and then showed the video itself so that we can enjoy her movements. Love the idea that Bar is set to lead the way towards a brighter future in this contest. With Brooklyn, there's no better partner in crime.

Wow! First let me say how amazing it is to see this contest going stronger than ever. I remember in the early days of the contest, it would hit 100 votes for the finals and it's already at about that within a day of the quarter finals starting. I've been fairly busy over the last couple of years with another child and that and unfortanatly couldn't find the time to put in the effort to contribute to these threads like I did in days gone by but I would periodically peek in and admire the pictures and the wonderful work set fourth by National in making this the greatest competition of it's kind.

There are some new faces, and of course some new feet that I wasn't necessarily familiar with going into the competition but I sure am glad I've been introduced. I viewed and voted last week but didn't have time to post and I was pleased to see Stacy Keibler advance. I'm on the Keibler bandwagon in these playoffs but it would appear as though she's in tough against this Tall Russian Beauty. I could almost imagine them really settling the score in a wrestling match or something, two gorgeous Amazon type Goddesses going at it, giving one another a face full of feet as they look to make one another submit to their beauty and grovel at their amazing feet. My money in that type of environment would be on Keibler with her pro wrestling backround. I could see her doing to Irina what she did to Trish Stratus in the first minute of this clip and the thought of it is enough to create the need to take a timeout and come back and comment on the other matchups later. The closeup of her feet in those sexy black strappy heels is enough to seal the deal for me. I've got Keibler in this one.

Nice to see the drunk guy back in here, even if it's just for a little bit. Glad to hear all is well with you. Things have changed a lot since you were last in here. I remember when the two of us got into a debate as to whether Shakira had nice feet. That was a long time ago. But a lot has improved over the last couple of years in this contest in terms of content and information National provides. I really think you would've been more in to this contest had you've been around to see the changes happen before your eyes. It's kind of hard to get back into the swing of things when you've missed out for as long as you did. But National has outdone himself this year more than other other year. From start to finish, this will turn out to be an amazing season, even though Megan Fox didn't make the playoffs, despite the fact that she finished the season with ten wins, which is enough to get anyone in the playoffs nine out of ten times, practically.

Most of the drama and excitement over the last two years, including this one, surrounded Ashley Tisdale.

Speaking of her, I did not expect her to get blown out. It's almost unbelievable when you think about it. I don't think Tisdale has ever even come close to losing by that much over the last two years. Kate Upton is showing us what a number 1 seed, who's on the verge of having a perfect season, is supposed to do. She DOMINATED this match.

Now it's REALLY on because she's going up against the defending champion in the semis. I'm telling you, this is THE heavyweight fight of the century. People are going to pay top of the line money to become spectators of that match. All the attention will go on that match and not the AFC championship between Miller and Shayk. And that's saying a lot because the AFC championship is going to be a heavyweight fight in its own right.

I'm happy and disappointed at the same time. Happy because Candice has beaten Audrina. Disappointed because Rosie lost to Marisa. Candice had all the goods, especially in the shoes department. You can't ask for a better description of how a sexy woman is supposed to look in a sexy pair of shoes. Candice mastered it. And the video is one of my favorites from her.

I voted for Stacy as well. Oh well, what can you do?

I'm looking forward to what will be the match that just about everyone wanted to see take place. Candice vs. Kate.

This is the only contest that can make dream matches in the mind turn out to be an actuality.

After seeing what has transpired over the course of the week, we now are down to our four finest. We are going into the Class Championships where business is taken very seriously. After starting the season with 32 women, and the highs and lows many of them went through, the hardest work has persevered and only one woman stands in the way to determine who represents her class in the Finals Classics.

The women who are advancing to the Class Championship showed commitment, hard work, patience, endurance. These women were able to deal difficulties calmly and without complaint. These women tried again and again. At the end of difficult races, they were able to win them.

----


MARISA MILLER VS ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY
Marisa Miller is simply amazing. There's no way anyone can make an argument that disagrees with that. When you're the first woman to make the semi-finals three times, you have no argument to convince anyone otherwise.

With Marisa, there's almost no risk involved because with her, you have just about guaranteed yourself a victory. There's no risk, and like investing in the stock market, your reward won't be worth as much because Marisa is a very safe bet that business will do exceptionally well, like McDonald's of Exxon. Your rewards get much bigger when you invest in something that's more wishy-washy or more inconsistent because you've made a huge risk to count on something with a track record that's not spotless like a Lucy Hale. But with Marisa, she is your safe bet, she provides the security blanket that has become the very foundation of what the AFC is about.

Marisa has the habit of making her division rivals old news. Not that Rosie is useless by any means. But when you're trying to come after someone who you've been trying to surpass, like Rosie has been trying to do against Miller, and you fall short at this point in the playoffs, you've been schooled by a seasoned veteran who's been there and done that with her eyes closed.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been Marisa's closest and most fierce competitor. Anyone will be a fool to think that this will be the last you'll hear from Rosie. Because Rosie Huntington is a predator. A sexual predator who thrives on others misery and despair.

I'm going to say something to Rosie that I've said to Selena Gomez last week. This doesn't necessarily apply to everyone, but it especially does in this case. You don't become great unless you learn a thing or two.

Rosie is going to take this loss to heart. Yes, she can be evil, but she does have a heart. Rosie will take this loss to heart and she is going lie in bed every night and sleep with her eyes open. They will turn red and she will plot her revenge.

For Rosie, she came into this contest to show Marisa that she's got it. Marisa, in return, showed Rosie that she still does.

Miller, for some reason, has been immune to any threat that's directed at her. Because when Marisa represents the United States of America, she rises above any threat of terrorism like the true patriot she is.

----

THE IRINA SHAYK VS STACY KEIBLER
Back in Week 9, I gave a ten-minute rant about how inconsistent Stacy Keibler has been since the start of the 2010 season. This time, if I put on another rant about Stacy, nothing I say would've made any sense. Since that speech in Week 9, she went from second place of her division to become division champion and, unlike last year, she got past the first round of the playoffs. At least Stacy is leaving the season showing me that she's showing progress. I was extremely hopeful for Stacy in this match. But when you face Irina Shayk ... I'm sorry, THE Irina Shayk (she's going to kill me if I don't say that at least once) ... that's when the party stops. Irina would've been humiliated had she lost in her first match of the playoffs as the Number 2 seed for two years in a row. Keibler ran into the wrong girl at the wrong time.

For Irina, when she lost to Marisa Miller and that classic Classic of the Week showdown back in Week 12, she felt expended and robbed for giving Marisa the biggest run that money can buy and then losing in the final minute of the match. She was still distraught going into Week 13 when she lost her second match of the season to Audrina Patridge. From that moment on, she snapped. It's been business and no pleasure since that moment and now she attempts to do what Rosie couldn't. In fact, Irina WANTED Rosie to lose this week so that she can get Marisa back for going away with that Week 12 victory in her getaway car.

Now that she'l face Marisa next week, the pleasure will return because that'll be all hers if she's able to stop to the most powerful woman in the AFC.

----

AUDRINA PATRIDGE VS CANDICE SWANEPOEL
Every defending champion has made it back to the Class Championship. Except for Kim Kardashian who was the most disappointing defending champion ever. Anyone who's voted in the contest the last couple of years knows that I'm not exaggerating when I say that.

Audrina is one of those girls who's here to win it all now, and to win it all often. She's not one of those girls who's slowly building up towards the future like a Selena Gomez or a Victoria Justice. Audrina has been designed to start her career as one of the most dominating women. And she's designed to leave as one of the most dominating women still.

Audrina has become just like one of those teams in pro sports where you are dominant in the regular season, but not so dominant in the playoffs. The Indinapolis Colts when Peyton Manning was there is one of those teams that come to mind. In the regular season, ever year for about a decade they win AT LEAST 12 matches. They made the Superbowl twice, winning their first one, losing their second one. Even though they were not the same team in the playoffs as they were in the regular season, everyone still considered them as dangerous threats to win it all. That's what we have with Audrina. She'll give you AT LEAST 12 wins every year. Every year, people will consider her a legitimate threat to win the championship. But the playoffs is a completely different story from the regular season.


Audrina's Career Winning Percentage,
Regular Season and Playoffs --

Regular Season: .854
Playoffs: .571 (4-3 record)

If you take this year away from her playoff record, and pretended that none of this ever happened, she'll still have a worse playoff record than Megan Fox.

Other than her playoff struggles, I feel that she has one of the greatest feet in Foot Fetish Hollywood. So much so, that I'll consider it a travesty if she doesn't win the championship at least once and slip her feet into a new edition of the Salvatore Ferragamos.

There's not much more I can say about Audrina. She'll be back next year, give you at least twelve wins, make the playoffs. From there, we'll see what happens.

Had she lost to someone else this round, I would've disappointed in her again and have on another rant. But give respect to Candice Swanepoel. Candice Swanepeol did what she was supposed to do. As the defending champion, she's supposed to successfully defend her title.

When Candice knows what Victoria's secret is, I don't know how one is supposed to defend herself against that? Audrina certainly couldn't.

----

ASHLEY TISDALE VS KATE UPTON
Kate Upton is living up to her Number 1 seed status who's also going for a perfect season. Ashley Tisdale is a master of making her opponents look as if they've put in lackadaisical efforts to win their matches. That's because with Tisdale NO lead is safe.

It was certainly that way in the middle of the match. But in the end, Kate Upton is a supermodel, with emphasis on words Super and Model.

In the regular season, Kate became the first woman to start her match on a 10-to-0 run twice after becoming the first woman to just that. Both times, the women threw in their white towels immediately after. In one of those matches, Kate became the only woman to register at least 90 votes in a match. The other one, she became the second woman to register at least 70 votes in a match. The other woman to do that was Marisa Miller in Week 1 of the 2010 Season. Go figure! Yes, those wins for Upton were against women who finished the season with two wins between them. But no one else was able to register THOSE kind of numbers against them when they had their chances.

In this match against Tisdale this week, Upton got off to ANOTHER 10-0 start. Ashley did not care that this was Kate Upton getting off to that start because she eventually caught up to her and got ahead of her for a while there.

What was more impressive than that, though, was Kate Upton getting a hold of herself and did to Tisdale what no one else did since the start of the 2010 season: make her look nondescript. She told Tisdale that this wasn't going to hurt a bit, and it did anyway.

For Kate Upton to show up Tisdale like that in the second round of the playoffs is an exclamation point times three.


The Youngest Women to Appear in the Class Championship for the First Time,
Top Six --

Kate Upton, 2012 -- 20 Years, 10 Days
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**

----

Both matches have storylines attached to them. But let's face it: Candice Swanepoel vs. Kate Upton is where the money is. If it wasn't for the existence of the AFC, this match would've been your Finals Classic right here.

That match should be an all-time classic.


Thanks to everyone for their support. Wednesday night is the start of the Class Championship.

This is the first time that all four semi-finalists are supermodels.

Can't wait.

National said...

Audrina's Career Winning Percentage,
Regular Season and Playoffs --

Regular Season: .854
Playoffs: .571 (4-3 record)

If you take this year away from her playoff record, and pretended that none of this ever happened, she'll still have a worse playoff record than Megan Fox.

That really stood out to me. So if you erase the last two weeks, including this one, Audrina would STILL have a worse playoff record than Fox? I take your word for it, but that stat is still unbelievable to believe! That's CRAZY! Every week you come out with new stats, but that one is telling.

Either Megan was more dominant than we thought or Audrina is not as dominant as we think. I'm at a loss for words, I don't know what to say.

Audrina is kind of like LeBron James. LeBron is one of the best and more dominant basketball players in history. His team now in the The Finals for the third time. If he loses this year, he'll be the first basketball player in history to win three regular season MVP awards and STILL have no championships to show for it. In a nutshell, Audrina is like that. The Indianapolis Colts analogy was another good one, National.

The other thing is Marisa Miller. If there's anyone who can be labeled as consistent, Marisa Miller is it. National reminded us of just how dominant she's been over the years by saying that she's the first woman to make the semi finals three times. Consider all the other dominant women who've been in this contest in the past. Marisa's the only one who can say that. If Marisa doesn't win it this year, she'll be the other LeBron of this contest, just like Audrina. But because Marisa has been more dominant than Audrina over the years, more scrutiny will be placed on her because of how much better she's been and because she's the official symbol of the AFC.

It seems like every year, the NFC has the more intriguing semi finals match. This year's no exception. I swear, I have no idea who the favorite is in that match. It can go either way and it will be one of the most compelling matches will ever see.

Amazing stuff all around.
