Wildcard Team #4: Silky Nutmeg Ganache & A'keria C. Davenport

Silky & A’keria are determined not to let the absence of their third Dreamgirl, Miss Vanjie, stop them in the race. That’s because they’re planning on smuggling her into Silky’s backpack, and if anything they’ll be more likely to get stopped because of Vanjie’s presence, namely in customs. Bonus points if they subject a terrified Phil to their two-woman rendition of And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going at the Pit Stop at any point and force a non-elimination in the process.

[MB.]

Your job:

It's now your turn to choose which of the four wildcard teams you'd like to see try and navigate immigration at the airports of the world while dressed like women. Will it be:

Kelly Mantle & Tammie Brown (#TeamBrownBacon)?

Kim Chi & Naomi Smalls (#TeamKlarna)?

Nina West & Shuga Cain (#TeamNana)?

or Silky Nutmeg Ganache & A'keria C. Davenport (#TeamDreamgirls)?

To decide, please rank the above from 1st (your favourite) to 4th (your least), as below. For this round only, there'll be no randomising involved: simply, whoever gets the most votes will join the race.

1st -
2nd -
3rd -
4th -

I'll close the votes in a day or two, and inform you of the results if you haven't already counted them up yourselves. I'll then kick off the game proper

[MB.]

Your job:

It's time for the first (proper) vote of the race! Here, you'll be helping to decide the placements for leg 1. As I outlined in the opening post, the finishing order for this leg, and the remainder of the legs throughout the race, will be decided by randomised weighting, meaning the team that gets the most votes for first place won't necessarily finish first in the leg (although they should have a pretty good shot at it). Similarly, the team with most last place votes won't necessarily be the team finishing last. How fun.

To do this, please rank the following eleven teams from 1st (this can be your favourite team, or the team you think would be most likely to finish first if this were an actual race, or the team you think wear the prettiest outfits, etc... regardless of the reasoning you use, it's up to you) to 11th (your least favourite team, or the team you think would be most likely to book flights to the wrong country and sustain a serious injury on the plane, forcing them to quit the race... etc) and post them below.

1st (favourite) -
2nd -
3rd -
4th -
5th -
6th -
7th -
8th -
9th -
10th -
11th (least favourite) -

And again, these are the eleven teams you'll be ranking:

Alaska & Willam
Alyssa & Shangela
Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina
Gia & Laganja
Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan
Monét & Monique
Sasha & Shea







Just a reminder that these rankings will count for this leg only; I'll reset with each leg, so don't worry if you drastically change your mind on, say, Kennedy Davenport between now and next Monday. There'll be plenty of opportunities to vote differently further on down the line if you want to do so. On the flip side, you can vote exactly the same each leg if you like (minus whoever gets eliminated each time). Again, it's up to you!

While I won't be disclosing when the three non-elimination legs will be for the sake of ~excitement~ (for the sake of fairness I'll prove that these were predetermined all along at the end of the game), I will say that this leg is definitely an elimination leg, meaning whichever team is selected last will be out for good.

I'll keep this vote open until sometime Saturday, at which point I'll randomise the results and use them to write the first leg! Until then, here's a clue as to the first destination.

[MB.]

Your job:

An untimely tragedy may have already befallen us, but the race moves fast and so must we. Once again, please rank the following ten teams from 1st to 10th and post your rankings below:

Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina
Gia & Laganja
Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan
Monét & Monique
Sasha & Shea





You'll have until Monday afternoon to vote, at which point I'll calculate the results and keep my fingers crossed that random.org doesn't pick off the fan favourites one by one. Until then, here's a clue as to the teams' next destination:

[MB.]

Your job:

Once again, please rank the following ten teams from 1st to 9th and post your rankings below:

Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina
Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan
Monét & Monique
Sasha & Shea





You'll have until Wednesday afternoon to vote, at which point I'll tally up the votes, chuck them willy-nilly into random.org and see what happens. Until then, here's a clue as to the teams' next destination:

[Ammi]

....oooooo the drama of it all...it’s a bit like ‘I’m Spartacus’....I’m Juanita..!!!...mummy is that you..?....I love this amazing race.....

[Ammi]

...this is delicious, MB......

[MB.]

Your job:

As I breathe a sigh of relief that I won't have to keep copying-and-pasting that bloody acute accent in Monét's name for the rest of the game, it's time for another vote. This time, things will be a little different. Legs 4 and 5 will be done as a double round, meaning you can vote twice, once for each leg - it's up to you whether you vote exactly the same both times or if you decide to shake things up between the two. Please rank the following teams from 1st to 8th twice and post your rankings below (if you could, please label which set of rankings are for leg 4 and which are for leg 5. Ta very much):

Alaska & Willam | Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco | Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina | Farrah & Valentina
Jasmine & Kennedy | Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela | Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie | Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan | Mayhem & Morgan
Sasha & Shea | Sasha & Shea





You'll have until Friday afternoon to vote, at which point I'll do what I usually do, just double. As I said, the next two legs will be posted in the same round, meaning that two more teams could be eliminated come Friday. Until then, and at the risk of this getting too Eurovision-centric, here's a clue to the teams' next destination:

[MB.]

Your job:

Please rank the following teams from 1st to 7th and post your rankings below:

Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco
Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan
Sasha & Shea





You'll have until tomorrow night to vote. Until then, here's a clue as to where I'm flying this lot next:

Team Brown Bacon have to get through because Team Brown Bacon are winning the entire thing.

I'll give you until this evening to do the above (or until whenever the ties in the vote are broken). Ta to those who've done so already

[MB.]

Without giving you all too much to do at once on purpose, I'll also open the sweepstakes now, if there's a particular team you fancy getting behind for as long as they may last on the race.

The sweepstake is first come, first served, and will for now just be one person-per-team (unless the demand for racing drag queens is much higher than I'd anticipated). Pick a team and I'll add you to the list:

Alaska & Willam - Ammi
Alyssa & Shangela - Liam
Bunny & Coco -
Farrah & Valentina - RileyH
Gia & Laganja -
Jasmine & Kennedy - Shaun
Jinkx & Dela - Barry
Kelly & Tammie - Black Dagger
Mayhem & Morgan -
Monét & Monique -
Sasha & Shea -

The winner will receive a lifetime supply of Absolut vodka and a plaster cast of Soju's cyst.
