That is how all amateur shows other than Nationals work. If you guys want to pretend 2 guys who never worked out just entered on a whim that day that is extremely disrespectful to them and their coaches. They both worked very hard and looked great. I just happened to be a little better that day. It is a master contest not the Open Olympia.
Given up on the Tiny UK attack have you Bianca,
The other 2 looked as awful as you did - Fact they did not look great , far from it.
Thats not hateful its fact any coach worth his salt wouldn't let any competitor he was
Prepping get up on stage looking like they'd just walked off the street.
I'd be embarrassed to let anyone I helped get on stage looking like a bag of blunt spanners.
Only a 3rd rater like you wouldn't believe that.
