Enjoy this pumpkin, created by Tom Nordone, who used 3 lbs of beef, 8 slices of cheese, tomato slices, lettuce and pumpkin seeds for the bun. How appropriate(:

I know I am a few weeks behind on the updates, but here is tonights spill on Cycle 13 for the shorties.  It started out with a “Go See” as their challenge, and they had I think 3 hours to visit these three different Designers.  They were paired up and given cars and maps, and it was so funny to see their reactions when they were given those maps.  They were so shocked and were afraid about not being able to read them, and it is so crazy how helpless people realistically are without electronics a lot of the time.  Everybody ended making it back at the end on time except Sundai and Rae, who were a few minutes late.  After getting a harsh lecture they were told to leave the room.

The winner of the challenge who got the most great comments was Nicole, who has been my favorite but it is a close call with Sundai because she is just so adorable and outgoing.  She was thrilled, but her biggest downfall is her lack of expression, in which she continues to struggle with.  She won clothes and jewelry from every designer, and will also be recording a commercial, let’s just see if she will be able to muster up enough personality.

The Photoshoot was a “Petite Ninja Warriors” theme, they were dressed very traditionally Asain, and were given a choice of weapons to pose with.  It was a fun one, they got some action shots on foot, and then took some while suspended from wires in the air.

Nicole

The winner again, was Nicole who just blew the judges away.  To me she looked way more beautiful when she was posing in action, and then her pictures were not as impressive as I would have expected, but they are still good.

Brittany

 The second best picture according to the judges was of Brittany, who was the only girl who enjoyed the extremely tight straps that were part of their wardrobe.  Haha, as Nicole described it, “I have diaper rash, but harness way..”  It was just pretty funny.

Duh dun DUUUHHHHHHH!!  We are now down to the bottom two girls at the end of the show, Sundai and Kara.  I do not think Sundai’s were bad, the judges could not agree, but then she AND Kara had also lost the challenge earlier also. 

Sundai

The main problem was that her legs were all the same basic pose, she is afraid to leave her comfort zone.  Come on Sundai!!

Kara

Kara was finally the one sent home.  I am happy that Sundai stayed, I am not sure if she will win, but I hope she still keeps staying in!
