Fashion Apparel -- Charlotte Olympia Dolly (worn by Rosie in the fourth picture of her gallery)
This gilded-platform Charlotte Olympia pump speaks to the personal style of the up-and-coming London designer-slash-it-girl, Charlotte Olympia Dellal—classic meets fun. The heel makes Rosie Huntington almost half a foot taller, but the platform makes the heel's pitch lower (and more comfortable).
• Leg-lengthening nude leather pump. • Classic round toe sits atop 1 1/2" metallic leather-covered island platform. • Adjustable slingback for custom fit. • 6" covered heel; 4 1/2" equivalent. • "Dolly" is made in Italy.

Since this contest is in memory and in dedication to Salvatore Ferragamo, it would be a nice added touch to add the media outlet that is fashion related, inspired from his ideas from Hollywood's Golden Era to the present day chic.
- Audrina Patridge cliches her division this week with a win. - Candice Swanepoel clinches her division with a win **AND** a Petra Nemcova loss. - Kate Upton becomes champion of her division with a win **OR** an Ashley Tisdale loss.

With the playoffs not too far from here, I'm glad to see that we have some potential playoff previews this week.
One match that can't be overlooked is that one between Hawkins and Klum. I'm looking at some of these matches and I can't help but think that these matches are taking place at some of the more inopportune moments in the season. Like I said, Hawkins and Klum is one of those matches. I was hoping they would face each other at the end of the season, but this match could determine the division right here. Not saying that the winner will be the official division champ, but with the amount of time left before the playoffs, the girl who wins this match will most likely win her division. I forgot who won the first time around. Regardless, this match is super good. I voted for Hawkins in this match. Even though her feet are not clearly shown, you can still see glimpses of it within the shoes.
We know we're close to the playoffs when National starts to give out the playoff scenarios. For Audrina, winning the division this week will certainly ease some of the pain she suffered over the last two weeks that resulted in losses.
Both Kate and Candice are in position to clinch their divisions. The bad news is that both women are facing each other.
Other than that, there's nothing to laugh about in this week's main event because we are actually going to find out what both women are really made of.
I cannot thank National enough for having the genus in him to put this amazing concept together and making it into the phenomenon that it has become. I cannot remember another season where we had THIS many amazing matches in one year. Both Candice and Kate couldn't wait to meet each other in the playoffs. We're getting this blockbuster match on free television, as opposed to the pay-per-view that is the playoffs.

Just when I thought that Upton was finished going through the toughest part of her schedule after facing Aniston last week, National hits her up with Candice Swanepoel. I voted for Upton and it'll be interesting to see if she can do to Candice what she did to Audrina a couple of weeks back.

Before I get to my picks of the week, let me say last week was perhaps the whackiest week I've seen in this contest's history. It seemed like all of my picks of girls who were involved in very important matches lost. It seemed like everything was out of sync and a lot of the results didn't make sense to me. One thing National said last week really stuck out to me. He said that just when we thought we had the answers, this contest changes the questions. If I had the kind some power in this contest, I would go in and make an appeal to overturn the results on some of these matches.
I didn't see Bar Refaeli losing to Longoria. That one really shocked me! If you look at Longoria's track record over the last several years, you're not going to find any wins against an elite opponent. I knew she would put up a fight against Bar because she's having a decent year. But I never thought she would go as far as to actually beating her.
In other matches, you have Kate Upton, Irina Shayk, Carmen Electra all winning by million votes. Then you have Kristen Stewart beating out Audrina. Are you guys kidding me? The majority of the voters in here thought that Kristen has better feet than Audrina. I can understand a number of people thinking that's the case, but I never thought that the majority would favor Kristen over Audrina. That was a win I would've never seen coming in a million years!
Also, my Jessica Alba lost last week. So all in all, that was some fucked up, upside down week for me. Now Jessica Alba has to fight to win her division. I can't believe this.
My AFC picks. If you look at Maria's pictures this week, I don't see how she'll lose to McCarthy. Speaking of Jenny, I heard some time ago that she's in a feud with her overweight cousin. I won't go into the details of it because I'm making my picks right now, but all I can say is that I'm taking the cousin's side in this feud.
Anyway, this is one of the best I've seen coming from Maria Menounos. She is simply amazing, even though her record doesn't show it.
Irina Shayk. Even though I'm not that big of fan of hers, I do know that this girl knows how to look fantastic week in and week out. With the way Bar has been struggling lately, we might see Irina take advantage of this. This week, Irina is drop dead gorgeous. Lots of leg and great views of her feet in these photos. Again, I'm not that big that fan of hers, but I do know that she is an excellent fit for this contest. National put her in this contest at a time when practically no one knew who she was, myself included. Now look at her. Amazing.
The countdown is one to see if Kim can actually go the rest of this season winless. If that happens, I will laugh my ass off. Kim had all of this coming to her. Of course I'm voting for Lowndes in this match. Her feet will never get ugly, always very sexy.
For this next match I'm not a huge fan of either one of these girls. But I'm voting for Carmen because I can tolerate her. Don't get me started on her opponent.
For my final pick for now, I'm voting for Stacy strictly because I need to protect Alba. After this week, there will be three more weeks to go before the playoffs start. Selena is one game behind Alba, and for me that's too close for comfort.

Absolutely.
My pick goes towards Hawkins. She's become a fan favorite and I'm really hoping a win out of her this week can actually happen. If there's anyone who deserves a win this week, it's her. I think she goes into this match as a favorite to win this match. VERY important match this is for those two.

Like someone else said, I thought Kate was out of the jungle as well after her match with Aniston last week. This should turn out to be a great match by the time this week is over. I don't see Kate doing to Candice what she did to Audrina, which should make this a nail biter during the closing minutes. Candice gets my vote this week and it would be quite a story if she can actually put a stop to Upton. When it comes to creating the season, National is really the scheduling czar. He knows hot to pick his spots for certain celebs for the season. For example, Kate's match with Candice comes at a perfect time because it's late in the season, Candice is the champ, Kate Upton is unstoppable, and all of this creates a playoff feel to this whole thing. This match is a dream come true for many of us here.

Tisdale against Nemcova. You know, I was hoping that Petra would find a way to make the playoffs as a wild card because I knew from the beginning that Candice was going to be the favorite to win the division. Now that Candice could win her division this week, now I'm more worried about Petra not making the playoffs because other women in the NFC are doing well and we're running out of time before the playoffs get here. For Candice, she needs a win and a loss from Petra at the same time for Candice to clinch it. When I saw that Nemcova was facing Tisdale this week, that's when I came to a realization that Petra is going to be done for the year, unless Candice loses. I voted for Petra, but Tisdale is such a consistent winner in this contest.
In the next match, I'm voting for Brooklyn because it's an anti-Megan vote, not because I'm such a big fan of Decker's.
For this next match, I'm going with my heart here and giving my vote for Victoria's feet. My mind, however, says that Stewart is going to win this. With a win over Audrina last week, it can be said that she can take on anyone. If she were to SOMEHOW make the playoffs, I don't see her getting past the first round, even with the new rules National has set for the first round playoff matches.
I'm voting for Audrina over Katy Perry. For Audrina's situation, all she has to do is win to make the playoffs. It doesn't get any easier than that because she doesn't need to rely on anyone else in her division to lose for Audrina to clinch her spot.

For so many weeks I've been wanting for Marisa Miller to lose just one more match so that it would be just about impossible for her to make the playoffs. That hasn't happen. Even though she's in second place of her division, it seems like she's in control of it. Unless Marisa falls into a slump, I'm afraid she's going to make the playoffs after. I can't believe this fucking shit. I'm going to vote for Aniston anyway, but that vote won't her any good.
After losing two straight matches, Alba now finds herself in a battle to win her division. A few weeks ago, I thought the division title would be handed to her because she was the most consistent of her group. That Selena win last week has put her in the spotlight. Alba's match this week is against someone who she should beat.
Doesn't look like Maggie is going to make the playoffs, but I'm voting for her anyway. That clip of her feet looks so sexy. I guess she didn't jump off the building because she's still alive.

The final stretch of the season is probably the most exciting time of the season because a lot of these girls are on edge, fighting for those playoff spots. Especially in the Wild Card race. In the wild card race, so many women are involved just thinking about who will get those spots makes my mind explode.
Longoria against Rosie is a great match that illustrates that point. Both women desperately need a win here. I don't think Longoria will get enough votes to win, even though she's closing in on Rosie. If Rosie loses this week, then she's done.
Mila against Bar is a great match no matter what Mila's record is. I'm glad that Mila is having a strong showing this week. I just wish, though, that Mila would have an identical record to Bar so that it would be an even more compelling match to watch.
Jennifer Hawkins is simply flawless. Her pictures this week is her way of making the closing argument that she is a great fit for this contest. Simply adorable, she is.
I voted for Kate here. I want to see how far she can take her season and turn it into perfection. I'm watching this match more closely than any other this week.
And someone better pay closer attention to Audrina's match. Again, it's late in the season, people are on edge, and Katy Perry is another one who desperately wants a wild card spot.
These are great matches for the most crucial part of the season. This is a tune up for the playoffs for many of these women.

Even though I voted for Candice, I can't believe it ACTUALLY happened! Kate Upton lost! I swear I must be dreaming. I kept pressing the reset button just to make sure that the time actually expired and that what I was seeing was actually correct.
Kate Upton lost! To think that could happen is one thing. But to see it actually happen is a very different feeling.

Congratulations to Candice Swanepoel for finally putting an end to this Kate Upton streak.
I love Kate Upton and I've voted for her just about 98 or 99 percent of the time. But I did not vote for her this week. Congrats to Candice for being a true champion and coming through in the clutch.
I felt that it was time for Upton to come back to earth a little bit and deal with the real world and compete on a more level playing field with the rest of them. Someone needed to stop Kate from destroying her opponents and crashing her party Goodness sake.
Congratulations to Candice for being a hero and congrats to Candice for becoming a division champion.

Another week is in the books. Even though we have another three weeks to go before the playoffs begin, the matches I have in store for these ladies in the up-coming weeks could make these matters and situations even more confusing than the week before it. We're getting closer to the playoffs and it's going to feel as if we're stepping farther and farther away. The women who couldn't get their jobs done this week could very well feel the effects of this in the weeks to come.
----
What I usually do when I start my closing monologue is to kick off with what I feel was the loss that stood out to me most. The stories that has the most heartbreak has a lot of consequences surrounding it, and those elements are what grabs people's interest the most when you're going to start the story.
For me, the storyline that's hogging for the most attention in the Critical Condition category is Audrina Patridge. You know, last week I didn't feel there was any need to jump on Audrina after she lost her second straight match in the same season for the first time in her career (I said "in the same season" because she's lost back-to-back matches twice before: both times when she lost in the playoffs and then in Week 1 of the following season, but that doesn't really count) because I didn't want to take the spotlight away from Kristen Stewart. The story was about Kristen and how she's earning her stripes in this contest. This time, however, with Audrina losing for the third straight time, the story is not about Katy Perry winning. Instead, the only story coming out of that match is fact that Audrina Patridge lost.
Had she won her match this week, I would've said very little about it, thinking that she's gotten her act together and is moving on towards the playoffs. A more compelling story to tell is that Audrina will make the playoffs eventually, only this time she's going into the playoffs under-prepared.
Audrina is fragile-minded and easily influenced. Those tendencies have reared their ugly heads over the course of the last month. She struggled to beat Katy Perry the first time around. The following week, she suffered not just a loss, but a public humiliation at the expense of Kate Upton when she simply feel flat at her feet to admit defeat. Fragile-minded and easily influenced because since then she has not gotten over that. At all. She's been plagued and haunted by those images ever since. So much so that she went from being a shoe-in for being one of the top two seeds to being in danger of entering the playoffs as the Number 4 seed, even though she owns the tie breaker over both Candice Swanepoel and Jennifer Hawkins. I don't remember Hawkins' remaining schedule by heart, but I find it hard to believe that it's going to be tougher for her than it could be for Audrina because Audrina is not out of the woods just yet. Audrina SHOULD win next week according to her opponent's record. After that, she will face people who are also vying for playoff spots. Candice, especially, is hoping that Audrina loses at least one of her next three matches because she intends on going 3-0 in the final three weeks. She wants to steal the first round bye from Audrina.
The bottom line here is that Audrina has gone from being on top of the world to not knowing which way is up. No one in the history of this contest has lost three straight matches after starting the season 10-0. For Audrina to be a champion, she has to think like one and act like one. For the last month, she hasn't done either one. She's acting like a cat that's afraid of catching a mouse.
It pains me to say these things about her because I had very high hopes for her this year. If she doesn't get her act together, as in IMMEDIATELY, then I know other women in the NFC who will have no problems doing the heavy lifting for her.

Another story that could have easily lead off the closing monologue is Carmen Electra. If there was ever a bad time to lose, this would be it. Now she REALLY needs to beat Jessica Lowndes in their rematch in Week 17 to force a tie breaker if she has any hope of making the playoffs. When you throw more people into the mix, the situation becomes even more complicated, and that's where the Wild Card picture comes into play.
Carmen Electra has nine wins, as does Marisa Miller and Rosie Huntington. I'm going to throw Jessica Alba in the mix as well just in case Selena overtakes her in that division. You know who else I'm going to throw in there as well? Eva Longoria. Of those women who I just mentioned, Eva Longoria clearly has the easiest remaining schedule of the bunch. I can easily make the case that she can go 3-0 the rest of the way. However, I'm not entirely convinced that the other women in that list can do the same. If Longoria goes 3-0, all she needs is just one of those women to slip up. Just ONE of them. If that happens, then it could be a huge mess trying to figure out who the sixth seed will be for the AFC. If Longoria loses one more time, though, she's done for the year. It doesn't matter what happens to the other girls because we would be a week closer to the playoffs and Longoria would not be able to make up for the deficit.
A lot of kudos goes to Olivia Wilde for beating Carmen Electra and not giving up on what has been a lost season for her.

THE SILENT THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER
As an Australian native, Jennifer Hawkins is referred to by many who are familiar with her as the Thunder from Down Under. Considering how she's made to where she is right now, you have to think that the thunder was crashing in silently because she was never the dominant topic of discussions during the season, not a lot of people outside of Australia or the U.K. knew who she was. Even today a lot of Americans don't know who she is.
It wasn't until her win against Jessica Alba last week or so that people finally paid some attention to her. Now, she has everyone's attention and she has earned every penny that she's worth so far.
She started at the bottom and has worked very hard to climb up the ladder. You work hard, you reap the rewards and recognition. Let's see if she can hold on to this lead because Heidi Klum I am still banking on Klum to not fall back any further. If she can force a tie breaker, anything can happen.
To illustrate just how silent Jennifer Hawkins has been, then consider the numbers I'm about to show you.
NFC Division IV After Week 5 ...
Heidi Klum 4-1, first place. Jennifer Hawkins 1-4, dead last.
Since then ...
Jennifer Hawkins 8-0, first place. Heidi Klum 4-4, second place.
She has been silent even though she has won eight matches in a row! Eight. How someone can win that many matches consecutively and still fly under the radar is beyond me. Also, consider this: Seven other women have started the season 1-4 this year. All of them are still in last place of their divisions.
Jennifer's thunder can no longer go silent. No one is happier than I am to see how the voters have turned her season around.

THE CLASS OF THE NFC
Candice Swanepoel vs. Kate "The Great".
In this match against Kate Upton, we were looking to see who would be the honorary representative of the NFC going into the playoffs. Candice does not have the best record, but she is now holding all of the cards. You can now make the case that she's the overall favorite of winning this whole thing for a third year in a row.
Nothing but grace and class, Candice has exemplified her role as the Official Symbol of the NFC. Candice is showing everyone that as an all-time great, she doesn't have to be great all the time ... she's only great when she has to be.
This was the second time they faced each other. The last time was in the playoffs last year to determine who the National Class Champion was going to be. Kate Upton went in that match in a bid to have a perfect season. Candice went in as the defending world champion. It turned out to be the greatest match ... ever. The match had to go to double overtime to finally settle the score, with Kate Upton being the one who had to come from behind to force those two overtimes as time expired. Both women kept squandering large leads that would swing the momentum in the other's favor ... it was a match for the ages.
This match that they just had wasn't as riveting, but it was compelling nonetheless. I think Candice got the final ten votes to go her way to rally her way to a victory that has made the most meaningful statement so far this season.
Kate Upton's bid to have perfect season fell short. But while it lasted, it was the most fun I've ever had to witness someone imposing her will on everyone else the way she did. I don't think we'll see anyone else who can win more lopsided matches by as large of margins that she's had. Included in that streak were three straight wins against Rosie, Bar and Audrina, all by an average of 12 votes. To do that and then live long enough to laugh about it is an iconic moment that will live in these archives forever.
When Upton came across Candice, she was facing someone who is not fazed by anything, someone who has seen it all and done it all. Candice is in a league all to herself.
For Kate, definite disappointment. But perhaps, she has learned a valuable lesson here that only a first-ballot Hall of Famer can teach young superstar. For Candice, that win was just the first step towards another coronation of donning the Salvatore Ferragamos.
