Rumor has it

On this last Monday of the competition, we have some disappointing news for beard fans everywhere.

  • As predicted by the WOT early in the competition, former leader Marc has officially been disqualified for unauthorized shaving. This is a shame because he was definitely a contender for the Gold. We have learned that he apparently does not have what it takes.

  • Brian has also been disqualified. It seems that he has succumb to the wifely pressures and shed his beard over the last weekend of the competition. It is clear that he also does not have what it takes.

  • Michael G was disqualified late last week after "getting permission" to shave for a meeting, although he was not granted permission from the WOT, who are obviously the ones in charge. Congrats on a job well done, but this is a competition and you are still out.


So that leaves us with 4 disqualifications in total. It is coming down to the wire. These last 3 days will separate the men from the boys. So who is in the lead these days? Lets give a brief overview of the remaining competitors that seem to be neck-and-neck for the lead:

The Burly Man full beard - Will be judged on fullness, length, texture, and overall Grizzly Adams appeal. No Trimming Allowed!
In the Lead: Matt M, Mike V, Kevin, and Tony

Style - Will be judged based on creativity, originality, and shock value.
In the Lead: TBD on Thursday Morning. Who will have the craziest beard of all? Maybe we will see some of these:


Worst beard - Will be judged on color, patchiness, inconsistency, and Shaggy from Scooby Doo similarities.
In the Lead: John S, Dickie, Peter

Word's been going around (from some whiny people in the back cubes) that trimmers include Mike V, Brent, and Tony. Looks like an attempt to bump off some of the top burley contenders. Kevin, Mantione, Roche, and Charles and letting the under-eye and neck sides bristle nicely.
