Ep. 8 - Feeling Like A F&^*%in' Idiot

2007-07-19T11:30:00Z

So today was my last day in the competition. I was ready to go home, not that I wanted to, but I had prepared for the evitable. The problem was the way that I was sent home. Jay called me up... I didn't know where to go, all the way half way? Then he told me I was going home. I hugged all the judge. But it gets better I stopped half way up the runway and thought "Where do I go?" I was looking around the room like a F&^*%in' idiot. It was so embarrassing! I also was upset that I didn't even get to say a good goodbye. I felt and still feel gypped about the way the whole thing ended. Still it was a great adventure, to bad it had to end so shitty. Good luck to the girls, got my figures crossed for the best!

Ep. 7 - Comfortable Equals Confident

2007-07-12T11:30:00Z

This week was so much fun! Even though I didn't win the challenge I got to shop and pretend to be a mannequin. People would stop and look at us and I tried not to laugh. I am the only girl in the house that hasn't won a challenge and that sucks. Still when a girl's depressed shopping is the best remedy. And so I bought lots of pretty things :) It was so kool to see Dexter's clothes, she was So girly. Heeheehee... later on in the week we had the photo shoot and I had a lot of fun, but when it came to judging I didn't love the picture. The judges did and that what counts... right? My favourite is still the LG shoot.. it's so weird being four, four is a small number. Still when you do the math it's only a 25% chance of winning and that isn't big at all! Cori went home and I will miss her but we have made plans already to chill after this is over. Peace out! Byer...Oh! One last thing, today was the first day I felt comfortable in front of the judges... remember to be yourself. You will more comfortable and people will pick up of your confidence, that's the note of the day! Chew on that!

Ep. 6 - Given A Second Chance

2007-07-05T11:30:00Z

Today I walked into the judging room with such confidence. I did well talking over the funny faces the panel were pulling and all together had a lot of positive fed back. I walked out of the judging room thinking for the first time I was a shoe in, little did I know… Tara and I were the bottom two. I don’t think anyone expected that. I was prepared to go home, not that I wanted to, but I find it best to prepare oneself for the worst. As we held hands I thought about what I would do if today was my last day. What would I say to Jay? Tothe girls? Could I hold it together long enough to make it past those doors? As Jay spoke I fought back the tiers, I looked over to Tara and I could see she was holding her composure which helped me be strong. Jay finally turned over the picture and it was mine, I looked over to Tara but she was smiling. Confused I searched for and explanation. Jay stood there with Tara’s photo as well. Jay and the rest of the judges have given me a second chance. I did well this week and still ended up at the bottom? I guess I’ve got to prove to them I’m not a one hit wonder. I’m working on it! Still this have taught me to always leave the house packed up and ready to go home. Peace out! Byer

Ep 5 - Fit for Fashion

2007-06-28T11:30:00Z

Pole dancing is fun, you should try it! So this week was all about our bodies. First, we worked out on the bikes and it was really hard. Cori threw up, it was intense. Sinead would have won if we were in a race, not because of speed, but because she paced herself. Mo was crazy, screaming and pumping her legs, and Dexter (not just for a smoker) was great. Tara... Man she should stick to dancing! Love her... but really! Then we met up with Jay and chilled one on one. Later on in the week we went to a fitness center and learnt how to pole dance! Like I said, TRY IT! Cori won the challenge and picked Dexter and I for a Spa day... it was great! Today was elimination and Mo went home. She took it really hard; she dropped to the ground and cried. Jay came up to her and held her, it was sweet. Ok so that's it... peace out! Byer

Ep. 4 - Connecting the Dots

2007-06-21T11:30:00Z

Today was elimination day. Cori and Gina were in the bottom two and Gina, sadly, had to go home. This is good for Cori because I know she wants to make it big, and that it is important to her. Still, Gina is a great person who was strong yet sweet and she is already being missed. This week the girls had our ups and down and quiet a few fights, but when Gina left the house we all seemed to connect in a new and special way. It's sad that only when she left did she bring us together. I think she had a good final week; I think we all enjoyed ourselves. Having the boys over was a blast. I think we all made some new friends... peace out! Byer

Ep. 3 - Tired but Excited!

2007-06-14T11:44:00Z

It's been an amazing past few days but I'm way too exhausted to type up all of things that I've been experiencing! I promise to catch everyone up on everything next week!

Ep. 2 - Mixed Messages

We just walked into the house and lined up there were eight presents. In them were eight cameras and printers! I think it will be a challenge, something along the lines of take nice pictures, print and post on the wall… the best photo wins! I’m really excited! It was a good ending to a long day. Jacqueline left today and I was really shocked, I think every one was. On another note I was scared for myself after Tara and Gina told the judges I talked too much. Nolé and the photographer said I was the best of the day but to be honest I thought my picture wasn’t nice at all. Which confuses me because everyone seems to disagree about everything - lots of mixed messages. I’m trying not to take anything the girls say to heart but I find that Tara is getting crueller, or maybe I’m getting more sensitive. I really love my new look, but the judges don’t think I’m working it yet, I’m going to work on that right now!.... peace out! Bye :)

Ep. 1 - First Impressions

2007-05-31T03:59:00Z

So today was the first elimination, and WOW, it was crazy stressful. I was so shocked by the advice they were giving the girls. It wasn't what I thought they would say. Also I was amazed by how great some of the pictures turned out. Cori's picture was so professional and it was her first shoot ever, I was really proud of her. The bottom two girls were Steff and Mika. As soon Gina was called and I saw Steff standing there and I broke down crying, long before she started. Yes I know I'm a tool! When Steff was called up to take her photo I couldn't help but scream with relief (P.S. we just found the hot tub outside!!! Crazy eh!) I must say that I have no sadness for Mika, because she didn't want it, in fact today she told us she thought this competition was "Bullshit" and that she wanted to go home. You got what you wished for and thank God, because I don't know what we girls would do without Steff in the house. There would be a big gap in the house. Peace out! Bye!
