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!

All giveaway winners will be announced on Monday November 4th, along with the winner of the glare-off.
GOOD LUCK!
Team Benjamin!
Team Sydney. Benjamin is terrifying, but he’s not a glarer, he’s a scarer. Sydney is much more subtle in her terrifying evilness. It’s more like you look at her for one second and sort of glance that evil glare, but when you do a double take, she’s looking innocently sweet, wrapped in her little pink blankie. *shudder*
Team Sydney!!!
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney!
Team Benjamin…He made me say it…he’ll scratch my eyes out otherwise…
Team Benjamin! He is my firstborn and my hubby and I always joked that if Benjamin wasn’t the “difficult” child that the horns would really hurt when we had our second!!
yes, he does! – I couldn’t figure out what it was, but you’re right. the stuff of nightmares.
I think there should be a follow up. where we see photos of these winners or finalists smiling, so we can see how cute these babies actually are, or, so I don’t see these evil glares in my nightmares.
Team Sydney. Benjamin is plenty evil-looking, but this is a glare-off and Sydney’s glare is better.
Team Benjamin, kid looks like Jack Nicholson from “The Shining”
Team Benjamin!
Team Benjamin!
FYI, we confirmed after Baby #2 that Benjamin was sent to destroy us:-) We appreciate every vote and take it as a “Congrats on surviving this long!”
Team Sydney! That glare is Newborn-pure, untainted by the temper-tantrum effect that Benjamin has
team benjamin…but it was a tough call!
Team Sydney! In the end I decided Benjamin’s just too upfront with his anger. With Sydney her plan will be subtle and she’ll have her revenge when you least expect it.
You must have been watching Top Chef like me instead of some baseball game the other night.
Yeah! We definitely need happy follow-up pictures!
TEAM SYDNEY
Team Sydney! The fact that she packs so much glare with just her eyes is frightening.
team Benjamin. because he looks more likely to gather minions.
Team Sydney!!
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney. She’s been my favorite from the start!
Sydneys photo blinked at me. I swear. How scary is that! And I think it’s a great idea to see a pretty picture of maybe the top three, just so we know what to look out for.
Team Benjamin
Team Benjamin!
Team Sydney! Have been from the start!
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney….she’s actually GLARING while Benjamin looks like he’s throwing a fit and his picture was snapped at “the right time”.
Team Sydney!!!!!!!
I see Sydney is winning, but I can’t shake the feeling that Benjamin and his evil claw hand win in the end!
Team Benjamin
Team Sydney
Team Benjamin and his point little fangs!
Team Sydney. So much evil so young. . .
Yes! I agree about the clown. Go Team Benjamin! Plus, while Sydney certainly has a glare that can’t be scoffed at, many other newborns also have that scowl by default, and most grow out of it.
Benjamin is clearly an evil tyrant in the making, a connoisseur of intentional, spine-chilling, heart-attack inducing facial contortions. He is raising The Glare to a lofty new art form by applying a simultaneous stabbing-finger/twisted-mouth/sharpened-fangs combination to his look.
Like fine wine, I predict that Benjamin’s evil glare will only continue to improve in quality and potency.
May Benjamin and his glare reign supreme!
Gotta stick with Ben- Team Benjamin all the way!!!!
Team Sydney because when I showed my husband the picture he said she looked Gollum. You know what she’s hiding under that blanket… her precious.
I was team Benjamin, but seeing these two side by side I’m team Sydney now!
Benjamin.
Very hard decision! But after a lot of thought I finally went with Sydney. She’s got a lot of evil in those eyes!
TEAM BENJAMIN !!!!
Which baby is “Freddie Krugar’s” Worst Nightmare?? Both Sydney and Benjamin would qualify for this Question !!
Team Sydney! She has a fire-starter glare, no remorse! LOL!
I have been Team Benjamin since day one. I also predicted these two would face off in the end of days. Benjamin’s glare is notorious. Those fingers reaching for you like he wants to lure you in and then gouge your eyes out. Then possible enjoy them as a mid day snack. His curled lips are menacing and his jagged little teeth look like he might just bite off his own tongue and devour it. Sick thing is he would definately enjoy it. This kid is my favorite maniacal genious that could one day take over the world and have grown ups feeding him grapes as he whips them and sits on his throne. You go you little evil baby, you go!!
team ben!!!
Team Benjamin!

Team Benjamin…he means business with that finger!

Totally team Sydney!!
Team sydney
Team Sydney!
Team Sydney.
Team Sydney
Team Sydney ! They are both so precious : )
Benjamin!
Sydney is infinitely more terrifying in her subtleness. She’s the type that is secretly evil, you catch a glance, but when you do a double take, the sweet smile is there and you question whether you saw anything else or not. Benjamin is just in your face. The monster is never as terrifying after you’ve seen it, it’s the unknown monster that is nightmare inducing.
I’m Team Sydney, mainly because I HAVE SEEN WHAT THE BLANKET IS HIDING!!!! Believe me, there is so much more evil under there!
Exactly!LOL!
Team Sydney all the way! The half covered face makes me think…”What’s that baby hiding?”
Team Sydney!!
Definitely Team Benjamin!
Team Benjamin
I’m totally team Sydney. If my kids had stared through my soul like that my milk would have dried up. Benjamin is scary though, what with the gnashing of the teeth and all.
Sydney!!!!! FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!
Team Sydney!
