Two years in a row Flyer(Pug Fried Rice) had a great crowd reaction but not even an Honorable Mention. What does it take to get recognition by the judges?
Announcer plays favorites
Dont feel bad.The guy in the Willy Wonka outfit and Puga Loompa got jipped also.That was one of the best costumes out there and biggest crowd reactions.It seems to be about who you know.
Oompah Loompa and Willy Wonka were overlooked and this is not the first time judging has left a lot to be desired. How are they chosen?
Does anyone have pictures posted anyplace to see the winners or contestants?
