**It's worth reminding that you should check out Nusuth's website which also features some pretty nice pictures of celebrities, including those who are not in this contest. http://www.celebrityfeet4.us/ **


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.

In this contest, each girl is entitled to have a week off. Any girl who does not participate during a week is said to be on her "bye week". This week, the girls on vacation are:

Ashely Tisdale
Eva Longoria
Irina Shayk
Jenny McCarthy
Jessica Alba
Megan Fox


NOTE: Before voting, you should take note that I made a little mistake with placing Jennifer Hawkins' name. Ignore the typo. The names of their opponents are correct, however. The CORRECT information is that Jennifer Hawkins is facing AnnaLynne McCord, Jennifer Aniston is facing Kate Upton.

This is it, folks. It's time to get very, very serious because the showdown between Bar and Rosie has finally arrived. I, for one, certainly cannot wait to see how this match ends and who wins the first meeting between these two. This match REALLY stands out from the rest of them this week.

Unbelievable showing from these two. Tough feet to choose from between those two, but I ended up going with Rosie in this one. Bar is going to be put to the ultimate test this week.

Thanks to National, once again, for knowing how to put together this amazing foot contest, knowing when to set up these matches at perfect times. The pictures and videos from these two makes it harder to pick between them.

Amazing.

Some good matches as usual, especially Heidi Klum and Kristen Stewart. I spent a lot of time looking at Kristen's pictures and I've got to say that I'm getting more impressed by her by the week. I certainly hope she gets the win this week. Heidi is off to a great start. A win for either one will do wonders her.

i havent had tons of time to spend with the tournament this year, but the current standings surprises so much. powerhouses like megan fox and kim kardashian are struggling so much to even reach the .500 mark. i'd like to see National pull some of his infamous statistics on this you know he's got all that at his fingertips. he's the rainman of celebrity feet! [Laugh]

i at least feel better that audrina is doing so well and jessica lowndes is within striking distance.

Hey, no AFC vs. NFC matches this week. With the amount of girls who have this week off, National had to figure out a way to have someone face off against another person.

My AFC picks.

First match. Jessica Lowndes easily gets my vote. She can be my administrative assistant anytime she wishes to apply for the job. I mean, look at her pictures. Her pictures are softcore pornographic, and I LOVE that coming from her. She can cater to just about any fantasy a guy has. She can play that role for you. Just imagine how it sounds when her body sits on the fresh new leather of that couch and her fresh shoes waxing up against the leather of that footstool? GORGEOUS legs, too! [Drool]

Next we have Menounos vs. Kardashian. I think if Menounos was in another division, she might do a little better. Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, won't do well regardless of the division she's placed in. Kim is going to get SMASHED this year. I might vote for Kim at some point before the season is over, but not this week. Maria's feet are superior to that of Kim's.

Next match, I'm going for Abigail. Yeah, I know, Carmen is going to win. But that didn't stop me from thinking that Abigail has got better looking feet than Carmen. Carmen caught a huge break last week from watching all three of her division rivals lose on a week where she took time off. It's one of those rare instances where you don't participate and STILL gained some ground.

Last match for now is Olivia vs. Selena. Last week, I thought Olivia looked like a goddess against Kim Kardashian. Now, she's back to being a fucking troll. That bitch!

[Cheers]

I don't know how I come up with these stats every week. I was once told that I am my own Elias Sports Bureau. For those not familiar, the Elias Sports Bureau is an American company that provides historical research and statistical services in the field of professional sports. It is the official statistician for all professional sports leagues in the United States. Every once in a while, they come out with some stat that sounds crazy and not believable, but it's all true.

Anyway, getting back to what you said about Megan and Kim, I do have a stat to present to everyone now that you've brought it up. In this contest's history, out of all girls who have been in first place of her division, whether all to herself or sharing first place with someone else, at any time during any season, Megan Fox holds the record for taking the longest time from getting from first in her division to last place.


Longest Streak In Terms of Weeks From Getting to First to Worse in a Division,
All Time --

Megan Fox -- 74
Marisa Miller -- 54
Carmen Electra -- 48
Kim Kardashian/Scarlett Johansson -- 24


With Kate Beckinsale, she was never in last place of her division, but it took her 49 consecutive weeks just to get her from first- to second place in her division!

Another record I always kept in my mind, but completely forgot to bring up was that at the end of Week 5 of this season, Kate Upton broke the all-time record for being in first place of her division by herself for 19 weeks in a row. In other words, at no time during that stretch did she share first place with anyone else. The previous record was 18 weeks held by ... Jessica Simpson. Upton's streak is still active, obviously.

I had to take my shirt off because when I saw Carmen's pictures, either the room got hot or I did. Yes, Carmen's BACK! Lookin' better than ever. This is how she keeps in fantastic shape in order to kick some serious ass in this contest. Carmen takes this more seriously than Kim Kardashian does.

Seeing the bare feet of both Carmen and her trainer got me so hot, man! Punches, knee lifts, kicks, all hot. Seeing the last picture tells you that that was a great workout. And it's paying off. Just ask Abigail.

I swear the rest of this league better be ready for Carmen. And that includes Bar Refaeli because if Carmen faces her in the playoffs, Carmen is going to FUCK HER UP!!! Bar is the reason why Carmen's record has that one loss. Someone should tell Refaeli that payback's a bitch!

I voted for Rosie this week, by the way. [Big Grin]

Carmen Electra Lives On!

I will make two major announcements sometime tomorrow night. One of them will take into effect this year. The other will take into effect next season. Other than announcing the new girls who will participate in the upcoming season through The Draft, I rarely make huge announcements. So get ready ... because tomorrow night, I will tell everyone what these issues are.

Can't wait to find out what your announcements are going to be. Now my brain is going at a thousand mils an hour in trying to figure out what they might be. I'm pretty sure that whatever it is, it might change the way we see things around here.

I was just reading the latest stats National posted. It took Megan 74 weeks in a row to get her from first place of her division to last? That's unbelievable. What these numbers show is that those women have been relevant for a very long time. I'm referring to Megan, Marisa, and Carmen. But 74 weeks is a LOT of weeks. The best person who I think can challenge that is Kate Upton. You can put Candice and Audrina in the conversation, but I'm talking about the one with the best chance, in my opinion.

These are great stats to look at. He probably is rainman.

Rosie Huntington means business. So far, she's making Refaeli look pretty stupid. And Marisa might luck out this week. If she wins this week, she'll take comfort in knowing that either Bar or Rosie is going to lose her match this week. That will put Marisa a step closer in catching either one of them.

And I'm enjoying Kristen Stewart's shoe department pictures. Her red shoes are so sexy and it's such a teaser in wanting to know how her feet look inside them. Heidi Klum's last closeup in her shoe dept. is pretty serious hot. They're nothing to ignore and I'm just as curious to unwrap them. I voted for Klum this week. It's a great test for both of them.

How things can certainly change. Yesterday I was enjoying Kristen Stewart's pictures. Now I see that Klum has taken the lead. It was good looking at her pictures when she was in the lead. Now I'm getting a bit worried about how she'll be able to hold up. I think Kristen's pictures are WAY hotter than what Heidi has this week.

And looking at those numbers about losing power in a division, it looks as if Kim has not been as dominant as we thought she was all along. Carmen still looks amazing. It's pretty cool that she decided to go barefoot when doing those exercises.

And Jennifer Hawkins is simply AMAZING this week. She definitely caught my attention. She's a goddess.

Not gonna happen, buddy. This is Bar's time to take over. Carmen had her time. Carmen being ready for the playoffs won't do much for her if Bar Refaeli is also ready. Bar is here to start a legacy for herself. And if that means she'll have to step over Carmen again, then Bar will be happy to take her on.

For a while now, Bar was getting her ass whopped by Rosie. Now Refaeli is making quite a comeback. Now the pressure is on Rosie to respond. By the way, I have nothing against Rosie. The only reason I'm voting against her is because she's facing Bar. Otherwise, Rosie gets my vote on any other week.

That's an incredible stat, National. The concentration and commitment it takes to stay on top for as long as Megan has reminds us of the days when it was all about her. It kinda sucks that she's in last place of her division now, but the thing that doesn't make it look as bad is that she's one win behind Candice in the win column. So so much more of the season to go, that gives Megan all the time in the world to get back on top.

Kate Upton, Audrina, and Candice are all great candidates of breaking that record because those women do not want to be in last place after spending some time at the top. With Upton now being the all time leader of being in first of her division all to herself, that gives her the slight edge over the other girls.

I've kept my eye on that Rosie/Bar match and this is starting to become very interesting now that we're getting closer before the poll closes. This match deserves to take place when both are undefeated. Those are always great matches to watch. I voted for Rosie because she's more dominant of the two, meaning that she's the type who can easily go on a mean streak. I don't get that impression from Bar, although I do have to say that she looks AMAZING in that black fishnet outfit in her non-foot pictures. That shows great potential of someone who can play a dominant role in the bedroom behind closed doors.

And the clips from both women are way too hot for words.

My NFC picks.

I picked Maggie over Audrina. At the time I voted, I pretty much knew that Audrina would get the win. If anything, I was hoping that Maggie would give Audrina more of a challenge. Maggie looks very lovely this week, no one can argue against that. This is probably the worse I've seen Audrina look, as if she didn't give much care and thought going into the week. Maggie at least was graceful or gracious enough to actually put an effort in looking presentable. Her feet are very nice and I thought more people would make a case that Grace's feet are just as good as Audrina's. For a while it was pretty damn close, but now Audrina is running away with it like so many others this week.

This next match is one of those that deserves to be the ass kicking that its turned out to be. AnnaLynne McCord does not belong in the same league as Hawkins in any body part category. Hawkins looks sensational in her pictures, her legs are stunning, her feet look very stylish with the shoes she has on. She has many other models following her lead in those pictures. Annalynne is trying to be one of those that follow Hawkins, but Hawkins is so far ahead of McCord. If people vote for Hawkins based on her feet and her overall appearance, instead of voting against her based on lack of star power in the U.S., she would be right up there with the best of them.

I voted for Victoria Justice in her match against Katy Perry. Victoria was someone who I thought would get off to a VERY good start, bouncing back from her terrible year last year. Hopefully, a win here can start her towards a path towards a wild card. Audrina is too powerful in that division.

Good thing National gave us advance warning regarding the placement on Jennifer Hawkins' name in the ballot. I say that because I don't think Upton would get that big of a lead over Jennifer Hawkins the way she currently has the lead over Aniston. I voted for Kate this week. Kate Upton is barefoot in her pictures. I guess when you look that hot, guys don't care about any dirt her feet might pick up from walking on the pavement. Kate digs that guy who's seen in her pictures.

I got Mila Kunis in her match against Brooklyn. If Mila loses this match, then she might have to consider this as a lost season for her and try again next year and hope for better success. We're almost half way through the season, and one win mid way through the season does not get you in a playoff system that allows for three wild cards.

In my upset alert, I have Petra Nemcova defeating Candice Swanepoel.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS


Now I'm here to make my two huge announcements that could change the course and the dynamics of the National Fashionistas. Actually, the first announcement will get more people talking than the second announcement I want to make.

For my first announcement, it is something that none of the fans ever saw coming. This first news will get might get mixed reactions from people. I will understand why people won't like this move I'm about to make. Even if you don't like it, nothing you can say will make me change my mind.


FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
This news will only affect the first round of the playoffs. Usually during any week of the season or playoffs, the matches are roughly 75 hours in length before the polls close. Sometimes it's a little more, other times it's a little less, depending on the time I post the matches until the time I want the matches to stop. But to give a rough estimate, the matches are roughly 75 hours long. Starting this year, the matches in the first round of the playoffs will be about 48 hours in length, maybe 50, depending on the time I post the matches and the time I want it to end. Basically, I'm going to remove about 24 hours from the usual routine. That also means that we're looking at 20-40 fewer voters for the first round.

I'm doing this to make the first round of the playoffs a bit more exciting. The second round is usually the most anticipated round of the playoffs because that's when the top two seeds from each class join the mix after having their byes in the first round. This move will make the first round of the playoffs very unpredictable because with 20 to 40 fewer voters casting their picks, anything can happen. A girl who was a major underdog in years past is suddenly not so much of an underdog anymore. Had this rule been implemented last year, AnnaLynne would've gotten past Tisdale and Selena Gomez might've pulled off a huge upset by beating Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. That Rosie match with Selena was a lot closer than people thought it would be for a while before Rosie snapped out of it and destroying Selena.

This move gives these girls an incentive to try harder and get one of the top two seeds of her class. At first, the incentive to win as many matches as possible was that you skip the first round of the playoffs. Now, the added bonus is that by avoiding the first round, she also avoids being stuck in a situation where anything can happen, a situation where a wild card is now more likely to advance to the second round. That unpredictability factor will definitely have people more tuned in.

Again, this move will affect ONLY the first round of the playoffs. All subsequent rounds will run it usual course, no changes at all.


SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT
This next piece affects the next season and every year after that. Usually, this contest starts in early-February and it ends in late-June/early-July when we crown a champion. Starting next season, the contest will run from early-November through late-March of the following year. By the way, we're in Season 6 right now ... Season 7 will start on November of 2014, not 2013. There are a few reasons why I'm making this change, but I won't get into those at this time.

Yes, I'm fully aware that I run the risk of having fewer voters on whatever weeks Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's fall on. Doesn't bother me one bit.

----

That's it. Those are your two major announcements.

After reading what you said in your major announcements, I have to say that I have absolutely no problems with either change. You get a stamp of approval from me. The second announcement is probably more of a personal thing, and I'm fine with that. It sucks that we'll have to wait much longer for next season to start, but it's bad move to start the new season right away on November of this year because you'll need time and space to give these women and the voters a break from the contest. At the same time, waiting too long to start a new season might mean you'll get fewer voters every week, not just the holidays because people would've waited TOO long for the contest to come back. In other words, you might lose some voters that way. But overall, I have no problems with the move.

I'm totally behind the change he's going to make for the first round of the playoffs for the reasons National stated. Major League Baseball has always done something similar for their playoffs, and they continue to do it. Sometimes what happens is that the team favored to win that round will lose because the series was too short.

Right now Jessica Alba will be in the first round if the playoffs started today. I have zero worries that she will lose in the first round. That's how confident I am about Alba.
