It would be fun do have a bachelor style competition with the prize bachelor being a cut out of a celebrity. I think my middle school girls would do just about anything for one of those.
I think that would be fun! For the bachelor challenge you could tie in some of the fun romance books, The Steampunk Chronicles series by Kady Cross, Jillian Larkin's Flappers series, or Anna Godbersen's historical fiction YA series, and see if the girls would dress in the time period! My teens run more boys than girls (a cultural as well as location thing, I think) but I could totally see it working with a manga character and ninja style challenges, or action figures and physical challenges…
