I have given this a lot of thoughtâĶâĶ.I even went as far as only playing a measly four innings with Vi last night so I could have a little bit of extra time to think!
Now I reckon the whole lot of ya have a decent enough motiveâĶ.Eileen, a woman marked poorly out of ten (ouch thatâs gotta hurt). Marcus, a man (wellâĶ.kinda) having to watch his ex-friend and bitter rival earn more than he ever could. Reeda, finally gets a chance to prove she can achieve something without sleeping with some ugly git to get it, and Cowl cheats and robs her of the glory. Woody an old has been, about to be cast aside for a younger (and sexier ) presenter. Roxy, did Cowlâs dirty work and didnât get a penny to show for it. And finally WilmaâĶ..drugged up to the eye balls, abused by all and sundry, spouting a mixed up story about an ex - tranny/sheikh marrying/priest/nun - boyfriend that got lost in translation a vitâĶ.ermâĶI mean bit, but Iâm sure as hell there is a motive there somewhere.
But the only one of ya with the motive, the means, AND the balls to do the deed isâĶâĶdu du DUUUUHâĶâĶ.EMMANUEL HANDLER!!!!
He killed Cowl, with his own red stiletto! The one he wore in the final last yearâĶ..the one he wore when he was TIPSY TOPPLOVA! A-HA! Yes, thatâs rightâĶ..Emmanuel was never married to Tipsy, he WAS Tipsy! Thatâs why they have never been seen in the same competition as one another
Emmanuel wasnât angry at Cowl for stealing his wife, he was angry at Cowl for discovering his secret and rejecting himâĶâĶ.when Cowl started an affair with âTipsyâ it must have come as quite a shock to discover he was actually a man in dragâĶ.. Cowl liked things exotic in the bedroomâĶ. But this was a step too far, so he rejected poor, gender confused, Emma. I can only imagine the rows, the accusations, and the blackmail that followed.
So why nowâĶ.why wait a year to kill him? HmmmâĶ.. maybe he needed time to spread a little confusion, gather together a few more suspect characters to take the heat off Emma himself. So he hatches an evil plan! He appeals to Cowlâs greedy side and instead of paying him blackmail money, they plot a lucrative betting scam together. Emma picks the perfect partner, Reeda, someone who isnât going to take kindly to being given a helping hand in the competitionâĶâĶ he encourages Cowl to go after Woodyâs jobâĶâĶ suggests recruiting Roxy into his little schemeâĶ.. stirs up Marcusâ old memories of what Cowl did to him, by making sure red stilettoâs featured heavily throughout the whole seriesâĶâĶ.maybe he even got poor old Eileen to fall for Cowl somehowâĶâĶ..it was a complicated, convoluted, unbelievably far fetched planâĶâĶbut he pulled it offâĶâĶ making only one fatal mistake
âĶ.. convincing Cowl to bring his ex-girlfriend into the show!
YES THATâS RIGHT! Emmanuel/Tipsy is Wilmaâs ex boyfriendâĶ.. turned girlfriendâĶturned back to boyfriend âĶ.. (told you it was a bit far fetched ). He made sure he plied her with enough drugs, put on enough fake tan, and a stupid enough moustache, to ensure she didnât recognise himâĶ.. and then set her up as his alibi, knowing that she would pass out sometime during their night togetherâĶ..allowing him to sneak away and finallyâĶ.FINALLYâĶ.exact cold, calculated revenge on Mr Cowl for rejecting him in his female form. And what better way to do it than with the very shoe he wore when he won last years finalâĶ.. the sexy red pair that first convinced Cowl that putting his hand up Tipsyâs skirt would be a good idea.
Oooooooor maybe Tipsy really was his wife and he was just a bit pissed that Cowl shagged her?
I dunno.
But he did it! You mark my words. I may only have one brain cellâĶ.. but I sure make it work for a living
