It's ridiculous and impossible to judge fairly. Isn't there a cut off as to the number of competitors?

[Mr. MB]

Gary Udit will need a Brinks Armored truck to haul away his cash. Entry fees plus seating plus booth fees. Kaching. The booth fees pay for the hall rental and he gives away what maybe 250 $15 trophys?? The bikini girls bring a carload each of family/friends and they buy seats. Gary runs smooth shows, well planned. Smart man.

The Pro Card thing continues to be a joke. BBrs men and women work for years to get a card if ever. Bikini girls practice a few butt thrusts to get theirs.
