What the f**k does that have to do with Kamali's "gift" from the judges? Unless the judges have something to do with 911, stick to the topic.
C'mon 240. I know you're better than that. What's your take on the initial post? Do you agree with my theory?
LOL... sorry... on the *underground* boards, everyone is freaking out about 9/7. I fig'd i'd tell our Chi-town getbiggers to watch their backs. Now to discuss your point...
As far as the show, it's my opinion that king did not win every pose. However the scorecard said he beat wolf on every single pose of every round, except for 1 point i believe. Let's go deeper.
Since my eyes, and more importantly the eyes of milos, ray, and others say that king DID NOT win those poses, i have to believe the judging was imperfect.
Now, i have to look at what would cause the judging to be imperfect. Honest mistake? No - probabilities state that every judge will not miss every pose. So we have to believe they gave the points to king over wolf as part of some bigger plan among 2 or more persons, or, a conspiracy.
what motivations would a judge have? I smell four possibilities. G4P will not be addressed today.
1) audience favorite was king - and they followed the cheers
2) the judges hate wolf.
3) there was a short term advantage to king winning 4th and the qualification
4) there was a long- term advantage to king winning 4th and the qualification
1) Nope. Crowd booed like crazy.
2) Nope. Wolf's first show and all around quiet gentle guy.
3) maybe. Will King's win benefit show promoters and/or sponsors?
4) maybe. Will king sell more O tickets?
In times like this, you use latin:
cui bono? Who benefits?
Either a show sponsor who has financial ties with king, and financial ties with the montreal pro - there was one
Or, the O sponsor who has financial ties with king, and financial ties with the montreal pro - there was one
I have presented a set of possibilities. I now leave it to the brighter minds than mine, to fill in the blanks.
Re-open 9/3
