We’ve come so far, and we’ve reached so high, and we’ve looked each gunge tank in the eye.
The final is now upon us, and your vote matters more than ever. In just over a week, the winner of this year’s GGP will be known, and will be ready to take their place in the Hot Seat, as depicted by one of you crazy people.
Now before we get into the whole final thing, I’ve got a bit of an announcement, one which I want to get out of the way before any real interesting stuff happens, and before I can change my mind again, and so I can waste some time before you see who the finalists are. After three years of doing the Gunge Grand Prix, I’ve decided I don’t fancy doing it anymore. Truthfully, it feels more chore than fun now, and I don’t really want to be spending my time on something that isn’t that much fun. I still enjoy the idea, and would love it if someone could take my place for next year, where I should still be around to help out, give advice, show some of the tricks that help run this many polls at once. But that’s for you to decide if you want to take part.
So, now that I’ve overshadowed the final with that bombshell, I shall proceed to reveal the finalist. If you read the Colin show earlier in the week, you’ll already know who they are, but I can now officially reveal that the final two.
First up, taking her place is Taylor Swift.
The singer-songwriter has prevailed to reach the final.

And now she’s in the final. Will she break the actresses’ hold on the competition?
And her opponent will be Jenna Louise Coleman.
The Doctor’s companion has made it this far.

This year she’s a finalist. Will she follow fellow Who companion Karen Gillan to victory?
And so we have our final for 2013. Voting will commence on Saturday 31st August, and will last all week. You have your usual one vote, and make it a good one. The winner will be announced next Saturday, and then the story writers can sharpen their pens typing skills, and make the hot seat work for them.
Taylor Swift vs. Jenna Louise Coleman
Good luck, the fourth is with you.
