Only 7 left in Fit for Fashion 2

0 Comment
 18 Feb 2016   Posted by Cheryl Tay


It’s just past the halfway point of the Fit for Fashion 2 season and things are really heating up for the remaining contestants. After six grueling weeks of various challenges, there are only seven contestants left.

Here’s a quick recap:

Episode 1 – Mikey was eliminated

Contestants are put up at the beautiful Bintan Lagoon Resort, but are quickly shown to their first physical challenge where they had to climb a rope net on a 60ft bridge with water below, while smashing excuses (printing on signboards) along the way. The Red Team – consisting of Anthony, Attila, Jess, VickI, Kyle, Cika and Deena –emerged winners.

The Red Team then decided to go first for the fashion challenge, which allowed the Yellow Team to observe first and eventually win. In this challenge, contestants were to strike a pose while suspended in the air in formal evening-wear.

At the chopping board, it came down to Mikey and Vicki. Mikey was sent home.

Episode 2 – Anthony was eliminated

Along a 1,000ft pier, contestants had to complete various obstacles such as running across balance beams to walking the plank to hurling themselves against cargo nets.

The Red Team consisted of Vladimir, Jess, Sam, Vicki, Cika, Deena and Lookpong, whilst the Yellow Team had Jackie, Anthony, Attila, Marlon, Kyle and Katherine.

To get to the finish line – a small fishing hut out in the middle of the sea – teams were split into boats of three and they had to row against the strong currents to get there.

This was where a lot of tension was witnessed, as people got tired and were rowing in the wrong direction. In the Yellow Team, Anthony didn’t step up as the leader and Jackie was tired of going in circles so she took initiative and traded places within her boat so she could lead the team to victory. Jackie was thus named Most Valuable Player for this week.

Katherine and Anthony ended up in the bottom two, with Anthony going home.

Episode 3 – Vicki and Catherine were eliminated

This was a shocking episode with two contestants being eliminated! In the physical challenge, team were split again – Kyle, Attila, Jess, Deena, Jackie and Vicki in the Yellow Team and Vladimir, Marlon, Sam, Katherine, Lookpong and Cika in the Red Team.

Both teams had to work to gather all the provisions they need and paddle a sampan out to their kelong to finish. The team that reached their kelong last must stay the night there with only durians and water. The Yellow Team lost and they as the hours dragged on they had to eliminate one of the own, thus it was voted that Vicki was to go.

In the fashion challenge, contestants were given a colour that has three emotions associated with it and they chose the emotion they want to portray. Dressed in Indian-themed outfits, they also had to deal with the splashing of colour bombs as the camera clicks. This became hard for some of them as they couldn’t help blinking or reacting when the colour bombs hit them, thus ruining the moment to be captured. Here, Katherine was eliminated.

Episode 4 – Attila and Lookpong were eliminated

Remaining contestants are now split into five teams of two: Kyle and Lookpong, Jackie and Marlon, Deena and Vladimir, Attila and Cika, as well as Sam and Jess.

For the fitness challenge, all five pairs start from the centre – a makeshift volcano on water – and they had to walk across wooden platforms in the water, swim out to adjacent platforms and perform exercises to collect the letters F, I, R and E. The winning team is the one that collects all four letters first to “ignite the volcano”.  Kyle and Lookpong struggled and couldn’t finish this challenge.

Over on the fashion challenge, the five teams had to create their own film. They have to write their own scripts, direct it themselves and perform it. While Jackie and Marlon impressed much with their acting skills, other pairs were terrible.

In a surprising double elimination, both Attila and Lookpong were asked to leave.

Episode 5 – Nobody was eliminated

Contestants are seeing marked improvements in their fitness and some like Sam who lost 6kg are shaping up nicely. However, tension in the house soars as Cika and Deena clash.

Split into two teams of four now – Jackie, Kyle, Vladimir and Cika in the Yellow Team, with Jess, Sam, Marlon and Deena in the Red Team – they had to rescue a locked treasure chest from the waters. This treasure chest contains letters from their loved ones, whom they have been missing terribly.

Although the Yellow Team got their chest to shore first, they were unable to unlock it because of a jammed lock. Thus, it was the Red Team who won and they teared as they read their precious letters from home.

For the fashion challenge, contestants were brought to a fishing village and tasked to organise their own photoshoots with the local kids. This proved to be challenging for some, like Vladimir, who were unable to form a bond with the kids.

Cika and Vladimir were brought to the axe, but in a pleasant twist of things, this was a non-elimination round and nobody goes home.

Episode 6 – Deena was eliminated

The remaining contestants are taken to a field with physical obstacles, where they have to stay on their toes as a plane drops flour bombs onto the sections that they need to complete. The winner of each round then has to take a photo with Louise before they go to the next phase.

It is the first individual challenge and surprisingly, the toned Kyle struggled and finished last. Vladimir managed to beat strong competitor Jackie to take the win.

Contestants then had to do a makeover; to the delight of some, but making others like Kyle upset because he had to have his hair cut short.

In fashion, contestants had to maintain their composure as buckets of paint are thrown at them during the shoot.

At the judges’ panel, it came down to Deena and Sam. Deena’s weak mental strength showed this week and she was asked to leave the competition.

While the contestants are not competing in the fitness or fashion challenges, they are busy being pushed hard in the gym by Mitch and Christine. You can also access the programme for yourself to follow in the CustomFit app.

Only four more episodes to go and it is getting very exciting! The contestants are getting tired, some are missing home, some are losing motivation, but the eyes are still on the prize. Singapore-based Marlon and Jess are still in the competition so keep rooting for them too!

Moments like these are precious and I hope to spend as much time as I can with my parents - I like how I can impromptu jio them out and they are always game to try food or go gai gai with me!

    Half my right butt cheek is bruised now (it's turn Half my right butt cheek is bruised now (it's turning black and purple) from denting the ladder in yday's silly home incident, but I would like to take a moment to appreciate this solid (heavy) thicc butt of mine... because it got me out of a bad fall situation unscathed.

Jokes aside, I do occasionally feel like my butt is too big, has too many stretch marks and too much cellulite, and it makes me not want to wear a bikini. I'll see other butts and be like, how come they have such a nice peach shaped ass whereas mine just looks like an overstuffed pillow.

BUT I brush these thoughts away quickly because I love this butt of mine, flaws and all. Poor ladder though!

    After setting up @rockthenakedtruthsg, I started t After setting up @rockthenakedtruthsg, I started to learn more about body image and I came to a realisation that the more attractive one is, the more likely he/she is insecure about their body.

You would think otherwise because they have a 'great body' with skinny legs, thigh gap, small waist, "11" abs, nice boobs (for girls), but they are actually not as confident as you think they are.

People would die for these bodies, people are dieting and doing stupid things to get this kind of body, but these 'more attractive' people are actually insecure about the very body society desires.

Why insecure? I spoke to some of them and they cited reasons like: Afraid to lose the body because they feel their identity is tied to their body, afraid they may not look like that one day, afraid they do not look good enough.

So my hope is that everyone will come to accept their body no matter how it looks, and not be afraid to be judged. I mean, who gives these people a right to judge you?

Your body, own it!

I wanted @jyanyoga to base me just for ONE photo, but she ended up sending me into several moves, which scared me a little but with the help of @branstands, I got into a few poses so now I have a few photos to share. Yay!

To more of such collabs!!!

    Following my house revamp, it's now time for some Following my house revamp, it's now time for some deep cleaning. Since I've moved in 3.5 years ago, I've not done any deep cleaning so there is definitely work to be done heh.

The @surecleansg professional cleaning team came over to work on my home and I was so impressed with their cleaning! (You know you're upping your auntie level when you get excited seeing things get cleaned and get intrigued by these fancy cool machines.) You can swipe to see the before/after results!

For my bachelorette space of 600 sqft, they sent a team of 3 who worked on the place simultaneously. Altogether they took 4 hours for the Home Deep Cleaning and Disinfection; sofa and mattress cleaning are add-ons to the package. 

They also have their own products, like their own Germclean disinfectant that has silver ion technology and 24h residual disinfection and can last on surfaces for 30 days, which they used on my home AND you can purchase to use too.

Quote 'CHERYLTAYSG' to get 15% off with min. spend of $250 before GST. You can book on sureclean.com.sg!

    Home revamp completed! 🥰🥰🥰 I've been spen Home revamp completed! 🥰🥰🥰 I've been spending a lot more time at home this year, which gave me the push to make some improvements to the house so I can be more comfortable at home.

It's been 3.5 years since I moved in, but I've mostly just treated this as a house, somewhere to stay, and not really put the effort to make it a home home.

When I first moved in, I wasn't keen to do up the house much because I felt that I might get married one day and move out, so why bother to spend money? So I only added a counter to separate the kitchenette from the living area, and set up my bike trainer next to the sofa.

These made the house quite cluttered and it just got messier and messier over the years as I accumulated more stuff, and was often too tired or busy to clear up. I mean, it was just me and I don't invite friends over, so I let the mess manifest.

Finally, I decided to revamp the place and I'm glad I did!

I got rid of the counter, built cupboards and shelves into the walls for more storage space, got zip blinds so I could convert the balcony into a usable space, did vinyl flooring over the original glossy floor which is hard to maintain (and I was wearing bedroom slippers all the time), and got a dining table set that doubles up as my work station.

The result is amazing! I wish I could say this was a DIY project, but no, I engaged the services for the various things I did... after taking time to source for the best deals with value and quality!

The home feels like a home now and this might sound strange, but having more physical space actually has a calming effect on me and psychologically I feel better!

If you have any budget home decor ideas, please share! My only decor ideas are multiple stuffed toys and Hello Kitty memorabilia lol.

Now I'm looking forward to hosting friends at my revamped space I call home!
