Scarlett Johansson

## Overview

Scarlett Johansson is viewed as one of the stronger competitors in WWYD and was the runner-up of WWYD3 having reached the Quarter-Finals of the previous tournament. While she has many admirers, her detractors tend to be quite vocal. Johansson was aligned with The Pantheon during the Med Event Mafia vs. The Pantheon story arc during which she suffered a Round 1 defeat to Commissioner Monica Bellucci in WWYD4. Bellucci is now 3-0 up on Johansson in head-to-heads after having also beaten her in WWYD2 and later in WWYD5. For a long time, Johansson's only other recorded loss was to Jennifer Connelly in the final of WWYD3 but in WWYD6 she suffered a shock defeat to newcomer Dianna Agron in Round 2 and later lost to Emila Clarke at Queen's Cup VI. This signalled her official elimination from WWYD singles competition. Shortly after WWYD4, she officially left The Pantheon to join Liz Hurley in a new team called GTFO. She reached the Elite Eight but was knocked out in the Quarter-Finals of WWYD5. After this her career somewhat faded.

# Storylines and Controversies

## WWYD2

Johansson was a highly touted contestant coming into the tournament. After struggling to defeat Christina Hendricks 53-47 in Round 1, she annihilated Sharon Stone 74-26 in Round 2 and defeated the highly-rated Kelly Brook in Round 3. However, Monica Bellucci was on very hot form in this tournament and Johansson was eliminated in the Quarter-Finals against her 61-39. Although she finished the tournament in fifth place, she was allocated #4 Seed for WWYD3 owing to Bellucci's suspension following Bellucci-gate.

## WWYD3

Johansson put together an impressive run after entering the tournament as #4 Seed defeating at least three world-class talents in Catherine Zeta-Jones, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn to make the Elite Eight for the second time and the Semi-Finals for the first time. In the Semis, she scored an impressive 64-36 win over Penelope Cruz to make it to the final. Before the match, she talked to Philippa Forrester about her blossoming friendship with Brooke Shields in the locker room -- this friendship can be seen as the precursor to the formation of The Pantheon. However, in the final, Johansson would lose to the almost unbeatable Jennifer Connelly 58-42. Having used up her two signature shots, Devil 2 and Cardigan Arrest, against Zeta-Jones and Cruz respectively, Johansson was not able to find an answer to Connelly's patented shot The Mirror. Connelly's ability to reach The Final without using up her strongest shots has so often been a difference maker. Johansson is said to have taken the loss graciously.

## WWYD4

The tournament was dominated by the Med Event Mafia vs. Pantheon storyline and Commissioner Monica Bellucci's revenge mission against Connelly and The Pantheon. Johansson had entered the competition as #2 Seed and the runner-up. Bellucci, having defeated Johansson once already in WWYD2, booked herself to face Johansson and, as she had banked on, defeated her 55-45 in Round 1. Johansson suffered a humiliating early exit from the competition that gave the Med Event Mafia an early head start. However, under the rules, her Elite Eight status offered her enough protection to qualify for WWYD5 as #11 Seed. Johansson will be looking to regain her diminished reputation and has been said to have taken the loss badly. After The Consortium Takeover and during the X-Factor story arc, Johansson became disillusioned with her fellow stablemates. She was invited by Liz Hurley for tea at Hugh Grant's House when Hurley persuaded her to "embrace who she really is". The two former WWYD-runners up formed a new alliance called GTFO ("Get Them the F\*\*k Out").

## WWYD5

Johansson had a generally quiet tournament, but had impressive wins over the much-hyped Gio Scotti and a 74-26 over Holly Valance. Owing to Barbara Palvin and Marylin Monroe ending in a draw in Round 2, Johansson received a BYE into the Quarters, but lost to Monica Bellucci making it 3-0 in their head-to-heads.

## 1st Tag-Team Tournament

Johansson teamed with Liz Hurley as GTFO and reached the Semi-Finals. They had been beating The Cuban Connection 60-40 when the matched was stopped due to the arrest of their opponents following the Med Event Mafia's Hospitalisation of Brooke Shields. In the restarted Semi-Final, they lost.

## WWYD6

Johansson suffered a shock upset loss against newcomer Dianna Agron in Round 2.

## Queen's Cup VI

After a strong start in the group stages, Johansson lost in the Round 3 match against Emila Clarke signaling an ignominious exit for a one-time WWYD great.
