To the last 3 bloggers that have made it this far, congratulations. Now it gets hard.
Challenge #1 (dore, emily, christy)
The first blogger that finds a blogger representing each state in the US wins the 1st challenge. - DORE WON
Challenge #2 (christy and emily)
1st blogger to call me on the phone and sing me the star spangled banner in its entirety. GO! -
EMILY WON (and we have tears in our eyes)
Challenge #3 (emily and dore)
Dore and Emily are Head to Head for the FINAL CHALLENGE and is the sole decider of who you take to the Jury voting. Will you take a friend or someone you think you can beat?
FINAL CHALLENGE:
The blogger that can get the most amount of food stuffed in their mouth and take a picture and share it will win. DH and I will be the judge of who looks like they have the most. Use whatever food items you want-marshmallows, eggs, whatever. DO NOT CHOKE AND DIE! Not worth it for a hoover. LOL Please EMAIL the shots before 11pm (that’s 30 minutes from now) to trisha@momdot.com
Winner: While we found you both to look disturbingly hilarious, we picked Dore. DH felt she had more food IN her mouth:

But for grins, here is Emilys shot:

DORE. It is up to you. Do you want to go against Emily or Christy in the VOTING from the Jury. The 7 jury members, including the person you leave out right now, will be deciding who wins. I will allow the final two to give a speech that will be shown to the jury where you can try to convince them of all your hard work and why they should vote for you. Their votes will be the only ones that count.
The winner wins the Hoover, donated by Toni from The Mud Bug as well as the COVETED TITLE: Americans Next Top Blogger.
Your time starts……..now.

@ Christy aka The Write Gal: I seem to remember a 3am Britney photo shoot so I feel your pain!

the person that wins this final challenge (you or emily) will decide which of the 2 losers you will take to the final. Not kicked off mmebrs, so lets say you win, you can take emily OR christy w /you.
@ Christy aka The Write Gal:
Thank you Christy!1 You still have a chance to be in the final jury vote! Don’t give up yet!!
@ Dore’: I know! And your one tough cookie to beat! But I’d be okay if you won. Just know I’ll be envious of your Hoover! I misread and thought the winner of that challenge won the Hoover so I was disappointed to find out otherwise. My mom will be disappointed too.
LOL
@ EmilyIt has been so much fun!!! I have really enjoyed it. I am going to be up until all hours thanks to ANTB. It took me forever to do the state thing and now I still have to finish tomorrow morning’s lesson. No sleep for me!:
can’t believe I’m h2h with my btff!! ahhhh
Do we have the option to bring anyone in for final or just one of the other members of the top 3?
@ Christy aka The Write Gal: Whatever, you may come along to jury voting. Who knows? My nerves can’t take much more of this! LOL
Have loved having you along for the ride!
Is the challenge up yet? Don’t see it!

it has a full like 2 more versus than most people sing, but we took the american baseball version.
FINAL CHALLENGE COMING UP. One second.
Trisha as much as you are on the computer you should get a Crackberry like me. I swear are you torturing us with your phone?
@ Christy aka The Write Gal:
I didn’t know the Star Spangled Banner had more than 1 verse!
@ Dore’:
I just did and it was AWFUL!!! I was laughing the whole time and started an octave or two too high. I’m sure Trisha and her DH got a great laugh out of it. I can sing better–just hear my rendition of Happy Birthday! LOL
OMG sing one verse or all four??? Trisha my voice would make your cats cry.
@ Emily:
omg… is it still saying that? Ya’ll better chekc the number and dial again… and again… and again!!
It’s probably messed up cause of Trisha’s cell phone that she was ranting about earlier!
Emily are you on the phone with Trisha….I couldn’t get through either.
I’m dying to know… who is singing to you right now?
says call can’t be completed as dialed and we’re both dialing…
I am SO glad that I am exempt from this one…
Trisha, I hope you record it so we can all hear!!
ok, putting it up right now
It is 11:17 here as I am in the EST and my DH is in bed. He has to be at work in the am at 6 and our alarm is set for 4:30 (he has to lead a staff meeting at 7). So if DHs are needed I am going to have to bow out because I do not want to wake him.
@ Trisha-admin: Not sure and I don’t have a cell number to try and text her. I will try email…
what happened to christy?
yes, you will need your DH, but i need to know if christys is home cause otherwise its unfair.
But George is making DH clean his sippy cup and fill with water. George, leave DH alone! I need him! What are you doing out of bed anyway?!?!
@ Trisha-admin: Mine is and I just told him if I need his help he has to help. He said, “I’ll take as many naked pictures of you as I have to!” LOL
