Rachel Nichols vs. Michelle Beadle the Results

At ESPN studios in Bristol Connecticut, all of the anchors and workers who worked in the studio gathered around for a very special moment that everyone had waited for excitedly. The whole network had banded together to raise money for charity. All of the money gathered would go towards hurricane victims. As a part of the fundraising two anchors had been nominated to me messed on air on Sportsnation. Everyone was free to donate money in the name of either women. The woman with the most money would be the one getting the mess. People were free to donate as much as they wanted to either woman. The goal was to raise as much money as possible. The two ladies up for the vote were Rachel Nichols and Sportsnation’s Michelle Beadle. It was anyone’s guess who was going to be the one getting the mess. They knew it was going to be very embarrassing for the loser. It was all for charity though. Michelle did really feel like it was going to be her getting the mess, because she was enjoyed teasing the men she worked with in playful way and she felt that maybe they would want to get their own back on her. She thought she was a funny person and liked playing pranks. Rachel felt that it could be her because she was scene as somewhat arrogant and vain by some of her co workers. Others found Rachel incredibly annoying. It was very clear that Michelle would be able to laugh off the situation a lot better than Rachel would.

The day finally arrived. Everyone gathered on the set. Michelle and Rachel were introduced by the anchor. Michelle came out with a smile on her face waiving. She wore a football jersey and a pair of jeans. “I dressed down today,” she said,” Just in case it is going to be me getting the mess today. I come prepared.” Rachel was dressed in a grey suit with a skirt. She looked very nervous. “ I really hope it’s not me ,” she said,” You know it could be. It is impossible to know. I know Michelle feels it will probably be her. In my head, I think it will most likely be me. We’ll just have to wait and see. It’s all for charity anyway. If it is me. I hope they had to pay loads to see me get it.”



“Ok,” the announcer said,” We all know why we are gathered here today. We are doing some fundraising for the hurricane charity. This part is the mess auction. All week we have been donating money in order to help the charity but also to get the chance to see either Rachel Nichols or Michelle Beadle get totally slimed. I have to say thanks to the ladies for putting themselves on the line like this. I can tell you we have raised a ton of money and we do have a winner. It was relatively close, but here we go. The person who most of us have put the money in for is….believe it or not…Rachel Nichols.”



Michelle’s mouth popped open in amazement. Rachel playfully screams no!, blushing and covering her face in her hands. Oh my god she whispered. The other reporters celebrated. “Good result for you, Michelle,” the announcer said. “Thank god,” Michelle said,” I am actually pretty surprised, but thanks for everyone that, well didn’t vote for me. Sorry Rachel, but yeah good result for me.”

“And Rachel, it all went horribly wrong for you,” the announcer said. “I guess so,” Rachel said,” I guess maybe people find me annoying. For whatever reason people want to see me get covered in mess. I trust they won’t be disappointed. This is going to be very embarrassing I have to tell you. Congratulations to Michelle anyway.” “That’s very gracious of you Rachel. It is nearly time for what we have all been waiting for. Have a seat Rachel and make yourself comfortable. This could be a long couple of minutes for you.” “Gee, thanks,” Rachel said as she reluctantly sat down in the seat. The chair was an office chair on wheel so it could be wheeled around the studio.



“Ok Rachel, today, all of your colleagues want to get a chance to mess you up so we have thought of some creative ways to make that happen.” Rachel was wheeled over to a wall that was plastered with the ESPN logo. “ Ok, Rachel, turn your attention to the table on the left.” Everyone turned and looked. The sheet covering it was pulled up. It revealed dozens of different pies. “Rachel, we have devised something that we like to call the pie firing squad. Basically, the entire cast and crew are all going to take a pie. You are going to stand against the wall and then are going to then “fire” on you. You will be pelted with a barrage of pies.” Rachel put on a fake smile. “Lovely,” she said sarcastically. One by one everyone grabbed a pie. One by one the formed two lines. The shorter people in the front. Rachel was wheeled over across from them. “Are you ready Rachel?,” the announcer asked. “No, not really, but as ready as I’ll ever be,” Rachel said.

“Ok everyone, on the count of three. Let her have it,” the announcer said. The anchors were laughing and teasing Rachel and whispering amongst themselves. They were saying things like, I’m going to love this and she’s going to get nailed. “Ok everyone. Here we go,” the announcer said. “Three… two…one.. Nail her.” Rachel closed her eyes tight as pies started firing at her. One hit her square in the face as she flinched. One hit her in the chest and one in the leg. As she winced pie after pie exploded on her for what seemed like ten minutes. When the dust settled, Rachel and the wall behind her were totally covered in cream, pie filling and pie tins. Rachel peeled a tin from her head. She tried picking pie from her hair. “Looking good Rachel,” her colleagues said. “Thanks, that was….interesting,” Rachel said,” This is , well, more than a little embarrassing.”



“I’m sure it is,” the announcer said,” But it is far from over. Yes we have more for you.” Rachel was wheeled over into the next room which contained a huge gunge tank.. Rachel’s jaw dropped as all of her colleagues cheered. She was wheeled into the tank. She looked up and winced as she saw what was suspended above her. “Ok everyone, if we could turn your attention , you will notice a very large amount of slime, suspended over Rachel’s head. You will also notice a chord on the side of the tank. What will happen is someone will get to pull that chord. When the chord is pulled, all of the slime will be released and will fall over Rachel’s head.” Everyone cheered. “Rachel kicked her legs and said,” Nooooo! Please.” and laughed. “I think that our winner, Michelle should be the one to do the honours,” the announcer said. Michelle pointed at herself and mouthed ,”Me.” “Sorry Rachel, I kinda feel bad about this, but I still am going to do it anyway,” Michelle said. “Well, that’s ok,“ Rachel said, “I don’t suppose it can be helped.”



Above Rachel’s head was gallons of pink slime. Everyone sat around trying to get the best view that they could. “Ok, Michelle. On the count of three, please pull the chord and let Rachel have it.” Everyone counted down. 3.…2...1.”Sorry,hun,” Michelle said. She pulled the chord. Rachel looked up as the pink slime poured onto her face. She spit some out and looked forward as her face was covered in slime. The slime poured onto her head and drenched her hair. In a second Rachel’s whole head was covered in slime. The slime then poured over her shoulders and shirt. Then dripped into her lap and down her legs. The slime did not stop it poured and poured for what seemed like ages as everyone cheered. As the slime stopped, Rachel took both hands and cleared her eyes and mouth. Rachel looked like a drowned rat. Her hair was soaking wet in slime as if she had just had a shower. Michelle tried to hold back her laughter but she couldn’t. The rest of the anchors cheered and laughed. “How are you feeling Rachel,” the announcer asked. “A little dirty actually. Slimed is the right word. I feel very slimy, very pink. I really need to shower. It’s a little gross but what can I say. I hope you are all very happy with yourselves.” She made a face and did a fake laugh.



“Ok Rachel, can you read us out please,” the announcer said. “Ok, sure.” “For ESPN, I am Rachel Nichols, covered in slime. Thanks for joining us and thanks for donating. I hope you all enjoyed seeing me get messy. Bye from all of us at ESPN.”
