This
week's show was interesting and entertaining. Cheryl, Nole, and I
learned soo much about our Beautiful
People. As I have said before,
there is soooo much footage that never
makes it on t.v., because there
isn't enough time to fit it all in. This
particular episode had so
much going on. It was great to see the
remaining 6 out in nature.
There were so many tests that we had set up
for them along their hike,
as we sat in our spy room watching. They
were all very cute and
endearing, and they passed!!! We set up a
thirsty hiker on the path
with her thirsty dog, and everyone offered
water! Then we had litter
on the path, and they picked it up, and
lastly, they had to go through an
undercover hired actor to get their
sleeping bags. The guy was
hilarious. He sat there and gave them a
hard time, but no one cracked.
The reactions on their faces were
priceless. I feel that as a group,
they have come a long way, not even
realizing that we are also testing
them on inner beauty. They seem to be there
for each other, and help
each other out. Even when they decided to
have a welcome home party
for "whomever" was coming home
that night.... I think shows so much.
And what about Billy and Chelsea's dance
moves! Pretty good huh!!!
It's hard every week to watch someone go
home, but again, the bar is
raised, and we have 8 weeks and 10
people... only One can be named
True Beauty. Yes, there is good and bad in
all of us... that is what
makes us human. We make mistakes and live
and learn. But one thing that
Chelsea said when she had to go home this
week, was to "stay true to
yourself". I love that. And it's true.
It goes a long way. Chelsea
is a uniquely wonderful individual. From
the moment I met her, she
looked me directly in the eyes and said
hello. And immediately I can
tell she was processing everything around
her, the judges, the house,
the other contestants. She loves to take it
all in and enjoy her
surroundings. I was very impressed with how
gracefully she handled all
the chaos in the house, especially when it
wasn't nice. She held her
head high, and never started a
confrontation. As judges, we made a
comment about how elegantly she bowed out
once we told her she had to
go home. I respect that. Also, Chelsea is
one of the most photogenic
people in the house. She takes beautiful
pictures, and knows what
works for her. She said she's a model, and
from what I saw, she will
have a good future with lots of work.
One thing I will say to everyone, as this
week comes to an end, is
think about what your going to say before
you say it. There are so
many things that are affected by our
actions, and we have to be extra
careful as to how something may be
perceived. Is it hurtful? Is it
mean? Is it malicious? We all have
feelings, and we cry every now and
then. The next time you might say something
that will directly hurt
someone close to you, think for a minute,
because once it comes out...
you can never take it back.
Have a Beautiful weekend!
Love, Vanessa
