Welcome to our Christmas mini-competition.  Hello, I'm Gemma Arterton! A few of you may remember me from last cycle where I placed fourth, and may of been confused as to why I didn't get chosen for the all-stars. The truth is I declined being an all-star to go on a trip around the world before I started filming my new movie "Byzantium". I have some photos taken, and I wanted to share them with you. The problem is, I can't remember the names of the locations...  I need your help to identify these places I visited! Participation isn't compulsory, but there will be prizes. You will play in teams. These teams are the teams you are in now. IE. Team Mode: Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Shilpa Shetty, Mischa Barton, Ashley Olsen and Freida Pinto. Team Beautiqe:Amber Heard, Jessica Jung, Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde, Rihanna and even though you were eliminated, to even out the teams, Kate Hudson, you may assist your team mates, but you won't be eligible for a prize. Team Critique:Yoona Im, Amanda Kimmel, Emma Watson, Alex Pettyfer, Maria Kanellis and Milla Jovovich. Each correct answer earns a point, the more team mates answer correctly, the more points earned. The team with the most points at the end of the competition will win the prize. If Team Critique wins, no prizes will be given out. You may discuss this with your team mates on your team board, but be wary, Team Critique has the upper hand, and can eaves drop on you, alternatively, you can work alone. Submit via PM your answers to Gemma Arterton in the following format: Place/City, Country. |

Day one: North America  We don't get mountains this big in England. It was breathtaking to see this majestic place!  It has always interested me of how these form! I just can't remember the name of the big one in the middle.  I was so lucky to get to go here! It was so hot under here, even though there was no sunlight, not to mention humid! These crystals were absolutely HUGE!  I stayed at this beautiful place... It's killing me that I've forgot its name already...  Humans are such intelligent creatures, not to mention hard working. Can you believe that this is man-made?!  I love me a good building! But I didn't expect something so majestic here! Boy, was I red! |

Day Three: Antarctica Ahhh! Antarctica! Reminds me of back home. Except it's summer here, and still colder than any winter I've had! I saw lots of interesting things in Antarctica!  Wow! Who knew Antarctica was volcanically active!  I guess this is a meeting of the united nations...  Watch out Titanic! This iceberg is huge! ... Wait it's still attached.  Who knew lakes existed here!  And rivers!  And mountains above the ice cap! Antarctica sure is an interesting place! You may still submit for days one and two. |

Day four: Australia and Oceania  This rock formation was called "The Eagle"... But it's not the main attraction at the location. In fact, I had a picnic there!  What a quaint city... Too bad the most of the locals are "Bogans".  It's not Uluru... But they're like Russians sisters or something. I need to know their traditional Australian Aborigine name!  Believe it or not... This is actually the caldera of a giant volcano!  I think I might move over here when I retire...  To see the stars better, you need to be really close... Right? PS. All days are open to submission for a week after they are posted. |

Day five: Asia This is a vast, diverse continent! What wonders behold us today?  Is this made of gold? What do you think?  How do you suppose they built this??  I hear this is drying up...  Shhhh! Don't tell them I was here! I could get stoned to death!  And don't ask how I got here.   This place wouldn't be the safest place to be, I imagine... What happens in a landslide?? |
