Members of the Snell-Hitchcock Scav team danced to the infamous Bloodhound Gang song and more last night on the quads as Army Dillo, MacPierce, The Audacity of Pope and other teams entertained the judges with nautical-themed parties, food from the Top Chef Challenge (Last night’s face-off took place in Ex-Libris and featured some of the “Manliest” Nachos I’ve ever seen) and a recreation of Project Runway on the paved walkway leading from Ryerson to the center of the quad.
Snell-Hitchcock dressed up in sandals and togas to recreate scenes from the Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts, while Max P. wore period costumes to channel the movie “Titanic.” Another team marched by wearing Viking hats, and a group of camera-touting Chinese tourists also stopped to take photos with the costumed revelers and join the party.
But if you watch the Discovery Channel you know it’s not all fun and games for hungry scavengers– And our Scavies are now down to the last 24 hours of competition before Judgement arrives. Now scraps of construction paper, torn fabric and half-eaten pastries litter the once-clean floor of Snell-Hitchcock’s Warre Room, and teammates are beginning to look as frantic as the squirrel that two of them dissected yesterday morning for an undisclosed purpose.
Team Captain Ramya Sampath closed her 10 a.m. team meeting soberly: “We do not want to waste daylight on anything that needs a lot of manpower and repetitive, over and over again motions to create. That can all be done tonight.”
And to the Page Captains, each in-charge of monitoring the progress of items on his or her page, she cautioned, “Please make sure you have everything [prepared for Judgment] tonight. You will be much too tired tomorrow to keep track of anything.”
Another all-nighter for Team Army Dillo.
