This weeks photos are being released into the wild as we speak, so here is the ladies version of who is in the lead, and who is trailing hopelessly behind.Manish is going for the gold this year, with an impressive and thick beard engulfing most of his face. Watch out Matt, he may look innocent but Big M is on the attack!Matt, the reigning champion, is doing everything within his power to defend

The competition is starting to get intense with some leaders beginning to emerge. The burly man competition is sure to be the most controversial this year over the issue of trimmed vs. au naturale beards. The judges will have to make a decision on this one soon. There is no doubt going to be a showdown in the near future between the trimmers and true burly men, who have suffered through their

So Ladies, since we are the official judges of this competition, how do we interpret the rule #3.3 (source:http://mancember.com) "Sales and Operations staff are permitted to shave and trim their beard under the chin for a clean appearance on days when meeting with clients. Business cards may be required for verification!" ? Do we demand business cards from the offenders or do we allow them to

The competition is almost over and the men left standing are competing fiercely, doing everything within their power to get an edge on the competition. The display of machismo has been overwhelming, while each tries to force some extra beard growth from the overflow of manliness he exudes. It all comes down to what one can accomplish in these final hours. Displays of manliness we have witnessed

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

The competition is surely underway, with the men battling it out and trash-talking each other along the way. But how is the competition going as far as its true purpose -- raising money for Sanctuary for Families? Has anyone been campaigning to raise money or are they too busy focusing on the manly portion of the competition? (Not to insinuate that they have not raised any funds -- we do not know

I think some of these men look better with beards than without. Especially Marc E, Marc S, Greg J, Richard T, and Matt M. What does everyone else think?

It was the shorter skirts and nylon shortages of World War II that bared female legs for the first time and brought shaving into the main stream.Since female leg shaving is a recent trend (not even 100 years

Heading into week two, the competition is getting fierce. Some contestants just may not have realized what they were getting into and are contemplating throwing in the towel early. Who is man enough, and who is just not?There are some who have already proven that they are manly enough to wield a mighty beard and have shown they are fighting for the coveted Chuck Norris T-shirt, though many have

It's Monday morning, and I am excited to see everyone with beards. It's like having a whole slew of fresh faces in the office. I'm starting to feel a little left out. I can't help but wonder, if a woman wanted to join in the contest badly enough, could she grow a beard? Aside from hormone overload or freakish genetics, can a woman grow a beard by sheer willpower alone?Maybe.According to Milkmen:

I don't know about you ladies, but I am getting a little grossed out by all the itching and scratching going on over here.. Can you get lice on your face? Do we need to be concerned for the children?

After the first week of the competition, what everyone wants to know is "Who is in the lead?" After covertly surveying the office, I think that there are a few contenders that seem ahead of the pack. While some beards are coming in patchy, slowly or not at all, it seems that Brent, Tony, Marc, and Mike V. have had extensive beard-growing experience and are neck and neck for the lead. But its

The Women of TalkPoint are opening a new annonymous comentary blog to discuss the progress of the Macho at TalkPoint. We'll keep a close eye on the beards, and keep you updated on who's bringing top dollar, who's growing sexy patches of scruff, and who's best in beard. Check back for daily updates!
