I feel rap battle coming up, so I'm just gonna try to be honest but also strategical. So don't take this really serious, okay? It's not personal, it's war.
These are my rakings:
1. Holli. I think right now she is a powerhouse. She has been able to show that she has the potential to reach the end of this competition, serving great challenges and good looks week after week. I never know what else she can surprise us with and that makes her unpredictable.
2. Daisy. Daisy also has great potential and she has shown it. She has also proven that she intends to make it to the end, and she ranks second only because I'm not sure if she will continue to grow over the course of the challenges, or if her WIN was her peak of the season, I will be paying attention anyway. Also, she is a female dog.
3. Kitty. I feel that Kitty has shown that she has the ability to evolve every time she makes a mistake and that makes her admirable. Every time we can understand better who she is and what she wants to show us, and that is why I choose to put her in this position, she is a grenade about to explode and I don't know when she will reach that moment, but it will be loud.
4. Red. She has had some issues with her performance challenges, but overall I think she has great looks and a lot to show. I think it took her some time to settle in and find her place in the game but she has shown in the last episode that she is getting it.
5. Audrey. In short: This is a strategic move. I don't know what the next challenge will be but I have an idea of where she is heading so I think it might benefit me to put her in this position. I'm not underestimating her abilities, I think Audrey has a great sense of humor and she has very good qualities for this competition, specially on writing. She has already been read before by her looks but I don't think that makes her the weakest.
RUNWAY
When I thought about what would be worth fighting for in my life, I could only think of one thing. And even trying to choose somethign else, this thing always came back to my mind.
My family has always been my greatest support in life and in all the decisions I've made and all the difficult moments I had to pass through. I decided to represent them at the moment where everything begun: my parents' marriage.
My mother has been a lifelong fighter and she has taught me how to overcome all situations, no matter how bad things might look. I can only imagine how excited and happy she should felt in that moment. Full of dreams and hopes.
But then... My dad died.

And she didn't have time to cry or being sad. She had to take care of a family with four children, two of them very little, one very ill and the last one very depressed. She never let us feel helpless and she didn't let anyone feel sorry for her. She did everything she could to give us a great life even though she wasn't full of luxury, and I'm sure she did it.
It does not matter if your family is not your parents and your siblings, it can be your friends, your grandparents, your classmates or your neighbors. The family is often the one you are born with, but many times it is the one you choose. They are the ones who will always be there for you, no matter what happens.
So when I stop to think "Why is it worth fighting?" I know exactly the answer: For my family.
