TEAM CARL FOR THE WIN!

After 5 long, hard, exhausting, and shamelessly entertaining days, Joey, Daniel, and Adam of Team Carl have come out the winners of the Walk of SHAMELESS!  Not only will these three fearless fellas split the grand prize of $50,000 among themselves, but as the winners of the tie breaker and because they had the most texts/Tweets, they also scored $13,600 on behalf of their selected charity, The ALS Development Institute.

Competing on behalf of a friend who was diagnosed with ALS, Team Carl hails from the one and only Chi-Town (who better to channel the Gallaghers’ shameless ways?) and managed to successfully complete each shamelessly ridiculous task thrown at them, all the while taking turns continuously walking on a treadmill in 12-hour shifts.  And let’s not forget that in the age of social media, no embarrassing deed goes unnoticed.  With an outpouring of tweets and texts on their behalf, #teamcarl and its SHAMELESS ways are sure to go down in history…or at least make for a great bar tale for years to come.

Since the Gallaghers will surely do anything to raise a buck, don’t think the other teams went home empty-handed.  Since the Gallaghers will surely do anything to raise a buck, don’t think the other teams went home empty-handed.  SHOWTIME donated $1 for every minute the teams walked, and because all of the teams were standing at the end they each earned $3,600 for their respective charities.  Let’s send out a hearty congrats to Team Frank, Team Fiona, Team Lip, Team Ian, and Team Debbie, and all raise a glass and a toast to Team Carl!
