=== Contest Preamble ===
Before the contest began in October, the preceding weeks brought explanatory posts detailing aspects of the competition to come. Among the preamble posts, fans also got the decision between the style of brackets for the Head-to-Head rounds and well as the Grand Prize for the contest. The fans chose an AoH vs NTR opening Head-to-Head bracket and well as a Full Mini-VN for the overall winner as the Grand Prizehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-21719513.
=== Roster ===
The bWW! 2018 contest hosted 20 girls in it's roster, each with a chance to take the title as their own. The complete roster was split between two divisions based on the branch from which the girls originated, plus 2 wild cards to bring both groups to 10 contestants.
The Agents of Heels division included (in order of the randomized Roster line up): Nurse Kelly, Ivy, Natasha Romanov, Catwoman, Kate Johnson, Mystique, Annette Beaumont, Lara Croft, Dyana Carson and Samantha. Kate Johnson was the wildcard pick despite also being originally an AoH character to begin with.
The Noemi's Toscana Rebirth division included (in order of the randomized Roster line up): Francesca Moreau, Beth Fuller, Noemi Bellocchio, Nancy Blakey, Clair Voyant, Alice Wyrick, Val, Asana Khar, Kriem Blakey and Kelsey Matthews. Val of the Witch One beWilderverse branch was the Wild Card pick for this group.
=== Preliminary Rounds ===
The Preliminary Rounds were the first votes of the contest and consisted of 4 polls for each division. Prelim Rounds 1-4 ran each week of October and each division had their votes open at the same time. The operation was simple: all 10 girls were on the ballot at once and the girl with the most votes won the round, advancing to the Head-to-Heads. The earlier a round the girl won, the higher the Seed she was given. Tiebreaks were decided by the total votes in previous Prelim rounds and then decided by Unshi and Spook if needed after that. The following rounds would begin again with a clean slate with previous winners taken of the ballot until each division delivered 4 winners and 4 Seeds.

The rest of the cast were eliminated from the contest at this point, bringing the contestant count down to 8.
=== Head-to-Heads: Round of 8 ===
The Head-to-Heads began with the Round of 8. Each match in this and future rounds were fought as one-on-one straight popularity matches, most votes wins. Losers in the Round of 8 we're knocked out of the tournament for good while winners went on to the Semi-Finals.
The Round of 8 matches were fought in Casuals outfits. Winners of the Round of 8 were also rewarded with a new Casuals outfit after the contest.
As per the pre-contest decision by the fans, all Round of 8 matches were fought between AoH and NTR contestants, starting with the Best Seed from AoH and the Worst Seed from NTR and moving in opposite directions until it was the Worst AoH Seed against the Best NTR Seed. The matches took place in the following order, with the Top Seed getting first billing:
* Natasha Romanov Vs Kriem Blakey - Total Votes: 33, Final Score: 24-9, Winner: Natashahttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-round-22620977
* Kelsey Matthews Vs Mystique - Total Votes: 27, Final Score: 13-14, Winner: Mystiquehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-round-22753208
* Lara Croft Vs Asana Khar - Total Votes: 30, Final Score: 18-12, Winner: Larahttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-round-22888185
* Noemi Bellocchio Vs Dyana Carson - Total Votes: 34, Final Score: 20-14, Winner: Noemihttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-round-23191837
The losing girls were ejected from the contest at this point. Placing between them was decided by the amount of votes received in the match, making Dyana the 5th place followed by Kelsey, Asana and Kriem in that order. 
=== Head-to-Heads: Semi-Finals and 3rd Place Match ===
Those 4 girls who won their Round of 8 match moved on to the Semi-Finals. Unlike the previous round, losers here were not eliminated directly from the contest, instead they dropped into the Consolation 3rd Place Match instead. Of the girls remaining, 3 were from AoH while 1 NTR girl remained, thanks to the upset pulled off by Mystique in the 2nd match, beating Kelsey by just one vote. 
These matches were contested in Risque outfits, with a new Risque outfit for the winner. The Semi-Finals, again with Top Seed getting first billing, were as follows:
* Natasha Romanov Vs Mystique - Total Votes: 39, Final Score: 29-10, Winner: Natashahttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-semi-1-23336382
* Noemi Bellocchio Vs Lara Croft - Total Votes: 42, Final Score: 19-23, Winner: Larahttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-semi-2-23473420
While the Left Bracket match became a walk over, the Right Bracket one was a closer call and even came with much fan discussion plus vote lobbing throughout. However it still ended in an upset for the higher Seed and Lara advancing to the Finale.
The following match between the Semis and the Finale was the Consolation or 3rd Place match to pick the bottom of the podium. Mystique and Noemi both took part, and while no outfit was waiting the winner as a reward, a Profile Pic was the prize instead. The match was a special Bra and Panties match and the result was:
* Noemi Bellocchio Vs Mystique - Total Votes: 38, Final Score: 22-16, Winner: Noemihttps://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-3rd-we-23599977 
And so, Noemi was voted into 3rd Place for the contest. With that she was the highest placed NTR girl, the only one in the Top 5, as well as winning herself the Bronze Profile Picture reward for the contest.
=== Finale ===
The Finale kicked off on December 29th and run until January 2nd. It featured Natasha Romanov as the Agents of Heels #1 Seed, up against Lara Croft who was Agent of Heels Seed #2. To cap off the rising sexy that each round brought, this match was fought while completely naked.
As was
befitting of a Finale, it was indeed a nail biter. It literally came down to
the last 15 minutes. It ended as our most participated match too, and when the
clock ran out Lara had it in the bag with 23-21 thanks to a last minute switch.
She said it all the way back in the beginning, a whole 4 months ago, and she
was right… AoH’s #2 Seed Lara is our ‘Last Raider’ and ‘First Queen’ of the beWilderverse!
And so
then, how did the match go down in the end? It was a battle of big swings in
the beginning. Both girls made it to a 3-3 situation after an early swing vote
put Nat down from a 4-2 lead in the first few minutes. Even she couldn’t snap
the tradition of the girl to 4 votes first being the loser it seems. 
By the
time Sunday was in full swing and the match had been open half a day, Lara was
way up 14-6 and a landslide match like Nat’s previous one seemed in the making
against her. More votes trickled in, but the gap shrunk slowly. All eyes turned
away for the New Years, but not the votes and Nat rallied hard and fast. She
did what Noemi couldn’t against Lara and turned an 8-vote deficit to not only a
1-point tail but a 1-point lead! 
On New Year’s day she was down by one, but by
the time we put out the last reminder in our opening post of the year she was
leading, and we expected no more than 1 or two votes left. In the last few
hours of the match we in fact got 3 votes, putting us at 44 votes total and
perfect split of 22-22, a tie! 
Hearts pounded and the ticker timer was
constantly being called out, it was in the last 15 minutes that the tie was
broken for good. 1 vote switched to Lara from Nat sealed the deal and a
champion was at last crowned!
Lara became the first ever beWilder's Wildest!, winning the beWilder's Wildest! 2018 with 23-21https://www.patreon.com/posts/bewilders-grande-23759159

Notable Girls: 
- In the Preliminaries, Beth and Frankie did extremely well for girls with little or no screen time up to the point. Cat was always in the Hunt for a Seeding, but she was just edged out at the very last hurdle.
- For the whole tournament, the real standouts where Mystique, Asana, Dyana and Kelsey, all of whom made it to the knockout with only one in-game appearance between all 4 of them. They pulled in major support, pound-for-pound the most support of all, and really surprised us. We’ve noted that for all of them, and we expect them to do oh so well next time around!
And so, it comes to an end, not with a whimper but with a Hell of a bang! We hope you’ve loved every minute of our Battle Royale, and especially all the eye candy we packed into our fan driven contest!
