Author’s note – and now for something completely different! This is your chance to get involved and influence the outcome of this battle!
The lights in the studio began to flash and some dramatic music began to play. On the two screens in the studio a short montage of some of the mess already dished out began to play. A voiceover from Scarlett Moffatt kicked things off.
Voiceover: Here it is, the final round before the GunkDunk decides who is our ultimate Queen of the Gunge. So far our contenders have faced cakes, gunge and school dinners as they battle it out for that all important advantage, but now there fate is out of their hands in this unique game of chance. To explain the rules, please welcome your host Mollie King.
Mollie walked out onto the stage. After Jacqueline’s Cakey experience last time, the producers had decided that Molie too should wear something a little more glamorous. She was now wearing a blue satin frock, a slightly lighter shade of that which Jacqueline had worn for the SATs. Rumour had it backstage that Mollie was less than impressed about having to wear this dress, but the producers manged to persuade her.
“Hello, and welcome back to the final round of Battle off the Decades. Very soon Holly Willoughby and Arielle Free will be sat above the world famous Gunk Dunk, but first we need to decide who has the all important advantage. So with the scores tied at 1-1, please welcome back our two contestants”.
”First up, she’s been representing the 2010s, and after a Scrambled scare, went on to win her SATs, please welcome back Arielle Free!”.
Arielle entered from stage left and walked over to greet Mollie in the centre of the floor. She was wearing a short black dress, and had her hair loose any wavy. She had a big smile on her face as she turned and waved to the crowd.
“Welcome back Arielle”.
“Thanks Mollie, looking forward to this”.
“So am I! Do you think you can get hold of that all important advantage?”
”Well I understand that there is an element of chance in this game, so who knows”.
”Well in order to have a game, first of all, you need an opponent”, Mollie said “Representing the 2000s, her team smashed it in Cakey Skate, but she was last seen wearing her school dinner, please welcome back Holly Willoughby!”
Holly walked on stage from the right hand side and joined the other two ladies, she was wearing a blue and whiteflowery dress and looked very casual and relaxed as she smiled and waved to the crowd”.
“Good to see you all clean again, Holly”
”Thanks Mollie, it took a long time, those mushy peas were everywhere”. A picture flashed up to remind the audience of how Holly looked at the end of the last round
“Think you’ve got what it takes to win this?”
”Well, like Arielle said, it’s a game of chance so let’s just wait and see what happens”.
“Well you won’t have to wait much longer”, said Mollie, as she took two steps forward. “Here’s Scarlett to explain how this is going to work.
Voiceover: Arielle and Holly, your fate is now entirely dependent on our viewers at home. Six secret celebrities are waiting backstage. Three are supporting Arielle and three are supporting Holly. It is up to our viewers to solve the cryptic clues to reveal the mystery stars, however, they will not reveal who they are supporting until they have been brought out on stage. The first player to have all three of their supporters revealed will be the winner, while the loser, and their team will face a forfeit.
“Thanks Scarlett”, said Mollie, who turned and walked to a new screen which had been placed at the side of the stage. “Right, get ready to get your thinking caps on, once you think you know one of the answers, you can contact us via Twitter. The clues are about to appear on the screen”.
The clues are:
- Initially another stranger to gunge but recently tangoed
- Don’t miss plot to address the star in there
- Soaky before, but has turned around now
- Energy infringement
- Initially a Vice President, then a queen…
- Mezzosoprano or mess-osoprano?
“So viewers, it’s over to you, if you think you know one of the answers get in touch, we will be back on air soon to reveal who our mystery players are”.
Author’s Note: right, over to you guys. Once you think you know an answer, comment below. I have assigned the mystery stars to a team, and the story will follow twhe order in which the stars are identified. Remember, the losing team, whether they have been guessed or not, face the punishment at the end.
Good luck!
