Ladies and Gentlemen, our ultimate showdown is complete, and we now have a 2009 Picture Scavenger Hunt Champion.

Last year it ended in a tie, and after thousands of votes, a broken website, and trash talk galore… it all came down to this.

The captains of Team WonderNorth and Team RearEnders were been given their mission to re-create 9 items from the PSH09 List (wherever and however they want).

Scoring Criteria was as follows:

* 1 Point for Each Photo Collected
* 1 Point for Each “Best Of” photo (judged head-to-head)
* Tie-Break One – Group that has the most amount of members participate (max of 6 to match WonderNorth group)
* Tie-Break Two – Group whom submits all their photos first.

Here’s how they did:

PSH09 Photo 1: Piggyback or get Piggy-Backed by a stranger (above)
Team WonderNorth wins this one, simply by getting it done at a TFC game. Although we do like how the Team Rear Enders’ dude is still drinking a beer. Still, 1-0 WonderNorth!

PSH09 Photo 2: Seducing a Mascot
Rear Enders has some man-love going on with the BK dude, while WonderNorth seduces a cardboard cut-off of an Avatar… Rear Enders tie things up at 1-1.

—

PSH09 Photo 3: A Very Bad Idea
WonderNorth tries to drown a cute little dog down the toilet, which would be enough for the category win IF Team Rear Enders weren’t smoking and drinking while driving. Rear Enders take the lead at 2-1.

PSH09 Photo 4: Kiss Mark(s) from someone wearing RED lipstick
WonderNorth = Cute. Rear Enders = Good Times. Rear Enders take a 3-1 lead.

—

PSH09 Photo 5: Upside Down
That really is the cutest dog EVER. WonderNorth back in it, 2-3.

—

PSH09 Photo 6: Go somewhere Forbidden
Both teams chose to invade a male washroom. One’s at the door, while the other is at the urinal. Rear Enders lead 4-2.

—

PSH09 Photo 7: Hugging something Behemoth
A Giant Beer usually wins, but not to a giant Rhino. Rear Enders still lead 5-2.

—

PSH09 Photo 8: Convince people that you’re a dance crew – Randy Jackson style
WonderNorth cheated using an old photo, while the BK dude got busy. Rear Enders are gliding to the finish line, up 6-2.

PSH09 Photo 9: Make a Work of Art
Last but not least, both teams had to make a work of art. While it’s clear by now who won, it’s worth noting that WonderNorth won this final category… which they’ve aptly titled “a WDX prophecy”. I think they almost knew defeat was imminent in this challenge, but this photo clearly be fighting words yo!!!

Congratulations TEAM REAR ENDERS on being the 2009 Picture Scavenger Hunt Champions!!

But enjoy it while it lasts, as someone is coming for your crowns in a mere couple days (and I hear they may be coming from the North).

Take a listen to the brand-new single from Wonderday’s favourite Band, The Racket, with new band members and a new name of “The Pumps”. The song’s called “In or Out”, and I definitely think it’s ‘in’.

Enjoy!
