Ranma's curse did NOT involve turning into a girl. Genma was still prone to eating a lot, as was Ranma. The First Prize feast was devoured, there was a challenge, Shampoo was defeated.
Therefore, no Kiss Of Death. Not that that wasn't without problems anyway.
All the press, the occasional tourist (they were even listed by Fyodor's Guides and the Tribal Channel did sporadic specials, though this year they hadn't done the live coverage of the annual Tournament due to problems that had occurred with LAST year's live coverage) and the little hidden valley was not so hidden anymore.
Even the Kiss Of Marriage had been watered down some, because every so often an Outsider would show up specifically to take part in the Tournament.

It was most vexing, and the various Tribals apparently had no idea at all why they had done such a thing.
