It's the glare-off everyone has been waiting for— our two final evil baby competitors. Sydney VS. Benjamin. Honestly, I'm not sure which baby has the more fervent group of fans. I haven't seen a feud this heated since Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag in 2007.
Before I continue, I want to give a quick shout-out to Caroline. She was kicked out of the competition yesterday, but I wanted to share a photo her mother submitted of Caroline all dressed up for Halloween.
Caroline went as a Red Sox player. And by Red Sox player, I mean a Red Sox player who kills Cardinals with a hammer on the weekends.
Obviously, Caroline's evil streak will continue for years to come. I'm hoping she never finds out I'm a Yankees fan.
Now let's get down to business. All week we have been narrowing down the evil babies to arrive at the two terrifying faces below. Not sure if you are Team Sdyney or Team Benjamin? Hopefully, a few reader submitted questions will give you your answer…
Which baby's head rotates when you try to feed them?
Which baby ate the dingo?
Which baby was born on 6/6 at 6?
Which baby watches HBO's Dexter as a "How To" guide?
Which baby is Rosemary's?
Which baby is planning to get rid of their least favorite parent?
Which baby spits in the holy water?
Which baby burned all her board books in the yard?
Which baby IS the monster under the bed?
Which baby stole Santa's sleigh, then burned the toys?
Which baby mounts the heads of stuffed animals on their wall?
Which baby sleeps three feet above the crib while chanting in Aramaic?
Which baby's face does Michael Myers wear as a Halloween mask?
Which baby spells "chewtoy", A-R-E-O-L-A?
Which baby wants Fisher-Price's My First Shiv for Hanukkah?
Which baby's first step is going to be towards anarchy?
Which baby turned her playroom into a meth lab?
And finally my favorite question from Michelle…
Polls close Sunday at 8pm EST. Winner will be announced on Monday along with all the winners of the daily giveaways.
May the evilest baby win!
GIVEAWAY
Today's giveaway is a gift set from Fairy Birds, a book series designed to encourage children to do good deeds in and around their homes. Because something had to counteract all the evil around here.
Fairy Birds are Fairy Godmothers in training who leave "Givie Hearts" every time they commit an act of giving. The gift set includes the Fairy Birds book, heart confetti, Fairy Bird wings, one feather tassel and two oversized round balloons. They recommend leaving the set outside your front door, ringing the doorbell and then waiting for your child to discover the special package on her own.
Although, if you go that route, I'd make sure Sydney and Benjamin weren't lurking in the bushes waiting to steal it. I wouldn't put it past them!

It was tough, but I went with team Benjamin.
Team Sydney! That glare!
Team Benjamin!! That kid is terrifying.
Team Sydney!
Long time Benjamin fan. Something about those teeth.
Team Benjamin….because if I woke up in the middle of the night to him watching me sleep it would freak me out.
Team Benjamin bc his picture has given me nightmares all week!!
Sydney!
Team Syndey!
It was hard, but Team Benjamin here. That accusatory finger. The fire behind the eyes. Those teeth. He definitely ate the dingo, incinerated in carcass and used the ashes as war paint.
Team Benjamin! The CCLLLLLAAAWWWWWWWWWW
Oh boy, that was a tough one. I went Sydney, because Benjamin looks more mad than evil. Sydney looks like she’s calmly plotting your death…..
Sydney! So evil and it’s only part of her face!
Te Sydney
Team Sydney!!
Team Sydney
Very difficult but I went with Sydney.
Team* sydney
Team Sydney
Team Benjamin!
Team Benjamin
Team Benjamin – bc that little accusatory pointing finger screams– I will come after you in your sleep just as soon as I can walk!
Team Sydney… I’m scared to know what’s under the blanket!
Team sydney!!!!! Her glare could kill!!! And so much is unknown….the rest of her face could be even more evil!!!!!!! 🙂
Sydney is wicked adorable, but I’m team Benjamin. Those fangs of fury just speak to me more than the devil glaring through Sydney’s eyes.
Team Sydney!
Team Benjamin, he’s truly terrifying. I see that face every time I close my eyes and gives me chills.
Team Benjamin! Those teeth!
Team Benjamin here! He looks like he’d chew anybody that messes with him.
Sydney! It’s about the glare!
If by Team Benjamin you mean, “Don’t let that kid near me!”
Team Sydney!
Team Benjamin!!!!!!!!!!
Team Sydney all the way!!
Team Sydney, because she’s going to set me on fire if I elect not to be one of her minions
Team Sydney! 🙂
LMAO @ Which baby ate the dingo?
What a tough choice…these were my two favorites the entire time. I’m team Benjamin, because he looks so truly evil in this photo. However, it’s really close because if my little one gave me Sydney’s look…shivers.
Team Sydney
Team Benjamin!
Very tough, but I have to keep with Benjamin
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney…so much mystery…so much evil in that glare!!
TEAM SYDNEY!
Team Sydney
Sydney’s got something to hid beneath that blanket… it’s fear!!! Vote Team Benji!
Team Benjamin because he reminds me of IT the Clown, must be the point teeth or his claw…
Team Sydney. It’s always the quiet ones.
Team Sydney
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney!!
Sydney!
Sydney! That is terrifying!
I had this match up picked from the start – I expect it to be close, but I’m going with the partial face, much unknown, eyes tell all, calmly horrifying Sydney. Benjamin would make an amazing red herring who works for the true evil.
I think they both should win…they are equally scary in different ways, but since I had to choose….Benjamin.
Team Benjamin!
Team Sydney! I have been having nightmares about that baby!
Team Sydney!
Caroline is smashing a cardinal because that’s who the Red Sox beat in the World Series! Her costume is a little more clever than just hammering random birds 😉
Sydney!
Team Benjamin!
Well that makes sense.
I’m Team Benjamin. However I think Sydney will win. *Sigh
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney but they both look pretty evil!
Team Sydney. All she needs is her eyes to strike fear in the hearts of men.
Ok- just edited so I don’t seem like an idiot!
Team Sydney!
Team Benjamin. He could grow up to be the next terrifying Phillip Seymour Hoffman!
Team Sydney all the way!
team Benjamin! he just looks so mean in that photo.
Team Benjamin!
Team Sydney, that kid made a deal with the devil, and the devil is the one who got the short end of the stick.
Team Sydney – cause she beat my little monster out of the competition.
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney. Those eyes remind me of Emperor Palpatine!
Team Benjamin…. way more evil character I think! Those teeth… that claw… yep thats what nightmares are made of!
Team Sydney
Team Sydney!!
I’m team SYDNEY! Her eyes stare deep into my soul!!!!
Team Benjamin!!
Team Benjamin!
Team Sydney for sure. Those eyes see into the darkest corners of us all….
Team Benjamin!!
Team Sydney!
Team Benjamin- terrifying!
Team Sydney. I only hold a slight grudge against Benjamin for kicking Sam’s but in the quarter finals. 🙂
Team Benjamin!
Team Sinister Sidney. She reminds me of baby Hannibal Lecter with her baby face mask.
“Your job is to craft my doom, so I am not sure how well I should wish you. But I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Ta-ta, “H.”
Holy crap, I think I’m going to have nightmares of Benjamin staring and pointing at me like that! Does he remind anyone else of the clown from It?
Team Sydney!
team sydney!
Team Benjamin for the win!
Team Sydney! She scares the crap out of me!!!
Team Benjamin!
