"You're still in the running..."

OK so as I work Sunday's, Friday night is technically the only night that I can go out and party it up. I pretty much never do. For a few reasons. One is that it is too cold to go out and party it up. Others include that it costs money to do so, and I do not want to feel crappy on Saturday - my only day off. So what does a girl do instead? Stay home, snuggle on the couch & watch trashy T.V. New Zealand's Next Top Model is definitely a fave. It is so much better than the first season! Last week there was a double elimination and one of the girls who went home was my favourite. Eva. Oh, Eva. Today I'm counting down my top five remaining girls in the competition. Who are your favourite contestants?



5. Dakota Biddle - Do I think this girl is a good model? No I don't. Do I admire her looks? No I don't. Does she add a crazy, comedic element to the show? Yes. She. Does.

In my opinion she should have been gone a long time ago. Talk of THC in an interview and expressing desires to pull a 9mm on a fellow contestant does not a Top Model make. Unless..your Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell?

4. Nellie Jenkins - I love this girl! She has such an interesting face and to top it off is just so sweet. She is the most bubbly and positive of all of the girls. I love the energy she brings to the house. Her feminine personality really shines through in to her photographs.

3. Courtenay Scott-Hill - This girl to me is weird looking, but in an interesting way. I love the haircut she was given on make-over day. The only thing I don't like about her is how casual she can be with the judges. Often when they Sara hands her, her photo she will say something like "oh choice, that's awesome".

2. Elza Jenkins   -The other Jenkins twin. Obviously I love her look too. They're identical twins. I think thus far Elza is edging in front of Nellie, but you can never be so sure. Other than the fact that she's been known to swear like a sailor, she too is very sweet and kind. I love her willingness to create different shapes and take a few posing risks.

1. Danielle Hayes -

"In Kawerau, you have three options. 1, Get pregnant. 2, Go to jail. 3, Get out and do something with your life. I've chosen the third option." 

Good on you girl! How can you not love this diamond in the rough? She has such a unique look. She reminds me of an Amazonian Queen! I love her Bro-ish demeanor, and how she is challenging herself by doing so well in the competition. A Danielle highlight for me, is when she kicked her heels off at a corporate vent, as she felt like she was going to faint. She then went on to lecture Dakota on appropriateness. Dakota, Honey, If the girl from Kawerau, who has bare feet is telling you to tone it down, she's probably got a point.

P.S Will try and post over the weekend about nesting bargains...If I make it to Wellington & back in this weather.
