Current mood:  focused

WOO LORD!!  I first wanna say my make-up was AWESOME in the Evil twin scene...... And that's just about all that was good about that scene..eww

Anyhoo, this week was very hard for me. At this point in the competition, it was so much pressure and I am the type of person where once I get in my head, it's pretty much a disaster after that. I take comments about my acting VERY seriously. I knew that I wasnt doing a good job in this scene without James even telling me. But the fact that he saw it too was a struggle for me.

Since I knew that I was coming in this competiton with little training, It was in my head that.."ok... Now your lack of training is showing, Later loser" And that played in my head the whole time as I did my scene. James had to keep stoping and adding things and suggesting thing over and over and he had never really had to do that with me... That also was an indicator that I wasnt doing my job in this particular scene...

I dont think my scene SUCKED, But that was the worst I had felt after coming out of ANY challenge. At this point, I knew the competition had REALLY got to me and was making me.. Well, INSANE!!

And obviously they saw it too....

That was my second time being in that room, and the first time was GREAT, but this time.. It was like losing my virginity again... IT HURT!!! LOL.....But thats what comes with the territory. But I was 100% sure I was going home.... But I was proud of myself that I had made it that far... But it was still gonna hurt none the less.

What you didnt see about the elimination ceremony was everything that James Gunn had said to me. He also said that he  had been noticing over the last couple of weeks that my acting and scene were same and they were starting to flat line and look repetitive.. I was like ok, cool.. That means I just need to make more choices and not be afraid to take it there. But what really angered me, (AND YOU WILL SEE MY BIG MELTDOWN NEXT WEEK) was how long it took him to tell me that he thought my choices were repetetive....

I was so angry cause in my mind im like, well why would you wait until the 7th week to tell me this. I would have been happier if you could have told me maybe the 5th week.... Then I would have had time to work on it. But now that I am going to be in front of Lionsgate, now you want me to practice. This competition is over next week. Now im gonna go into this next's week FINAL challenge wondering was I gonna do a good enough job about changing my technique and hoping I did it in time for the SAW producers to like it..... Anyhoo, I will go more into that next week.....

But thank God this week my life was spared.  And I was so happy that Lindsay got Leading Lady... She so deserved it!

YEA!! IM IN THE FINALS!! WOO WOO WOO....

But some notes to myself....

I gotta do something about those UGLY wrinkles in the middle of my forehead when I cry... GOOD LORD! Why didn't anybody tell me I was such an ugly cryier... HAHAHAHHAA!!!!

And even though he made me mad at times and at times I didnt think he like me, im gonna just put it out there right now.. YEA YEA YEA... Tanedra had the Hots for James Gunn! There... I said it.. Im not embarrassed. He was super cute and I loved his skinny legs and big feet. His blue eyes had me in a trance everytime I saw him and I so wanted to just run and jump in his arms and say.. I LOVE YOU JAMES GUNN.! But.. ya know... Im a gansta, I couldnt let him know that I was under his spell..

 

wow, im glad I got that off my chest. I really feel 10 pounds lighter.

SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!

I thought you were great regardless. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been at that point in the competition. You and Lindsay are da bomb, and have been since day one.

And we all have the hots for James Gunn :) I loved that he wore a Johnny Cupcakes cupcake shirt in the challenge. It just makes me heart him more.

No matter what happens next week, you are so talented and such an awesome person that I KNOW you'll go far, sweetie.

I told James that you channeled Vivica Fox on one of your lines. I was distracted, and my head shot right back to the TV when I heard the line :)

Best wishes for the final week.

ha, by saying it felt like losing your virginity are you implying that you got screwed? ha.

(you are not an ugly crier...nobody looks good when they cry unless they are faking it)

Yes, we're all hot for James with his big blue eyes and that deep voice and the hair and he's just so darn clever.

what do you think we should expect from the final episode? ok, that was a stupid question...

but i'm saying, will it be cut down to two after the last director's challenge, then the winner is announced?

omfg...I literally stopped breathing last night during elimination O.O This competition gets under your skin.....but why am I telling YOU that??? O man, it sucked to see Angie go, Michelle's really annoying, should've been her...

Btw Ms. T, are there any beans you could possible spill about next week? The wait is going to drive me up the wall!! (Even a hint? C'mon!!)


And yes.....James is insanely hot, but that stays here ;)

Rock on girl, much love ~

I told him the same thing once about his skinny legs and big feet. I didn't get the reaction I was hoping for.

"Im a gansta, I couldnt let him know that I was under his spell.." ~ Tanedra

Well, if James reads this blog, I'm sure he's gonna know NOW!!! ;-)

Yeah, like I stated over on his blog comments, I was bummed that you had an off week, to put it mildly! But I still loved your performance with the doll, especially after Homa had pushed you to be more vulnerable.

I was actually scared that you were gonna get kicked off this week. Yet, I also hated to see Angela go. But yes! It was very AWESOME that Lindsay FINALLY showed everyone what she's capable of!

Whatever the outcome of this show, I hope all of you Ladies keep on pushing forward and persevering with your career goals.

Btw, I wouldn't change a thing about those "wrinkles" as you put it. Just think about one of my favorite Actresses of ALL time (regardless of her ethnicity): Angela Bassett - she gets those "wrinkles" too when she's expressing strong emotions!!!

Even with the little training you had before doing the show, you have far more acting ability than a lot of young working Actors out there. I hope you'll keep up with your training and really hone in your craft! With your very gorgeous beauty and talent, you'll be UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Gunn's hotness aside, he's just an awesomely cool dude and if you ever feel chatty, we'd love to see you on our message board over at JGAS.org -- www.jgas.org/forum. All the "good" stuff is hidden to non-members, so you do have to register but it's quick and painless.

Good luck (er, break a leg) next week!! :)

I didn't notice any ugly wrinkles while you were crying! You look great, so don't even worry about it. Please don't botox! I am so tired of seeing the botox zombies! I think you are doing a great job and you do seem to take all criticism in and use it to your advantage. Good luck with the show and your future career in general!

My husband and I watch every week, and his favorite thing was when you made fun of Michelle and did your "woo woo woo!" dance. You are SO talented, I held my breath during the Grand Ballroom scene. I totally thought they were gonna axe you! I must say that you, Lindsey and Angela have been my favorites since day one. (Michelle has been my husband's favorite, for obvious reasons) but I'm still so happy that you guys made it so far. I can definitely see a future in acting for you whether you got the Saw 6 gig or not. You are naturally talented and I would hire you in a second.

You're goreous, i dont think you look bad when you cry. It just shows more emotion... imo. Well i know the show was already taped but I still wish you luck when i watch it. You three are all very talented.

That is cute you had a crush on James Gunn, i would have never though. Now when i see a repeat I'll have to look i'm sure you can probably tell. LOL!!

Take care

Yeah, this scene was the ONLY time your performance fell flat. It wasn’t terrible, but it lacked the raw passion you’re so known for delivering. It’s cool that you saw it, too. I was so sick of hearing certain girls defend their bad performances. A great actress must be able to step outside herself and evaluate her performance objectively. This is what sets you apart: You have a true sense of what works and what doesn’t. From day one, when you begged an imaginary psychopath not to kill you, I could see that you had an uncanny knack for making audiences BELIEVE in the premise of a scene. I’m so glad you won. You deserve it, and you've earned it.

OMG, I love that you love James. I've never met him in person, but am entranced with his depth, his sense of humour, his sensitivity and his all-around awesomeness.

You are a fantastic actress and I can't wait to see you in film!!! You were fantastic and I was rooting for you the whole time!
