-Finished 3rd in the Regular Season, also on 17 points.
- Was the first EVER member to be banned by the GAUNTLET

AND SO, THE FINAL GAME OF COMPETITION REMAINS...

WHO WILL BE THE GAUNTLET CHAMPION?

***find out in 5 minutes***

 

// Comes in jumping and punching the air w/ Rocky music playing.//

YEAH, baby! YEAH!

 

********

//popcorn


********

 

//Imperial March

It is such an honor to represent the folically challenged. This is a fight for the Bald EVERYWHERE!

I'm hungry, I think I'll pop open Aunties head and pour her life force on my pancakes!

 

So as it stands right now, I'm the only GAUNTLETier to have *never* been banned? Clearly I should win SUPER GAUNTLET (and to think I only played to see what it would be like to get banned... curious).

 

Let the chant begin.

HAIRPIECE!

HAIRPIECE!

HAIRPIECE!

HAIRPIECE!

 

=====================
GAUNTLET GRAND FINAL
=====================

And so, I am left with one word.

For the final time:

"BEGIN"

 

Here is your chance, sister!

 

YEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

 

The winner will be announced at 8:45am.

 

It seems to me that the word "Hairpiece" would look amazing in big, bold letters.

 

doh! I don't like waiting.

You know, it's funny. I'm so pumped-up, I'm not even going to need my coffee this morning. Woo-Hoo!

Let me just take this moment to say, epic, you are a wonderful koala. The best GAUNTLET grand-master ever. We shall forever be in your debt. Thank you. We love and appreciate you.

epic,
One of Aunt Jar Jar Mimah's favorite nephews

 

So have you got your "I'm a Very Important Aunt" sig ready Auntie?

 

No kissing up to the koala Auntie.

Well, that was certainly a spirited last run of the guantlet. Of course, both participents are seasoned veterans, with experience and skill in surviving the gauntlet.

Both also have VERY impressive streaks on the line tonight. It is great to see them so confident, and unfortunate that one has to lose.

Interesting strategy by Hairpiece to jump into the gauntlet first...for several matches running, #1 has been a ban number. Does the hairpiece think epic will change it up? Or did he simply run the gauntlet at his own pace, not worrying about the challenge from Aunt Jar Jar or epic's aim?

You gotta like Aunt Jar Jar's chances in this competition...she seems like the odds-on favorite, and in most quarters the crowd favorite.

They are approaching epic's kill zone now...who will survive?!

====================
RESULT: GRAND FINAL
====================
====================


The number was "2", thus, "Aunt Jar Jar Mimah" has FAILED the GRAND FINAL SUPER GAUNTLET.

WIN: Gen. Madine's Hairpiece
FAIL: Aunt Jar Jar Mimah


*******************************************************************************
CONGRATULATONS TO GEN. MADINE'S HAIRPIECE -- THE FIRST EVER GAUNTLET CHAMPION
*******************************************************************************

FINALIST: Aunt Jar Jar Mimah [For your GAUNTLET Resume] - My deepest condolances to a worthy challenger.


Thankyou all to those who participated, and who made the GAUNTLET a success.

 

Can we have a word from our winner, and runner up??

 

well done Gen Madine!

[announcer]

Hairpiece wins! Hairpiece wins! Hairpiece wins! Hairpiece wins!

It's a shocker! His strategy of jumping in first proves to be a winner, and leads to the championship!

Look at the shock on AJJM's face...what an upset!

[/announcer]

So now it's been proven that no one can run the GAUNTLET unscathed.

Congratulations to the Hairpiece for his comeback after being the first person banned.

And a heartfelt round of applause for Aunt Jar Jar Mimah whose take no prisoners attitude made this game even more fun.

 

Thank you all very much!
//crys
Auntie, you have been a formidable challanger and an even better friend!

I hope to make you all proud!

Thanks epic for an awesome game!

 

I confess, I am a bit speechless, but, um, //wipes tears & bites lip//, let me try to say a few words....

I couldn't have lost to a better hairpiece. I really mean that. He ran multiple good races, was there practicing his posting until well into the night, and has the attitude that makes every GAUNTLETier proud. If I had to lose, I'm glad it is him. LONG LIVE THE GAUNTLET!!!

//Places tiara on Gen's head and roses in his arms.//

But, for the record: I'm the only one that never lost THE GAUNTLET until the final!!!!!
