It might even be half again that much since rioting ensued when the reigning champ lost.
Apparently this event is gaining in popularity. According to the report there were a record number of entrants this year.
The logical next step would be for this to become a professional sport with a players association, rules, sponsors, etc. Controversy would surely follow. For example, would participants be barred from using all lotions or creams except Oil of Olay? And how grotesque would the Hall of Fame be? And doesn't a Mr. Ugly discriminate against women? Nothing good can come of this.

Well, he is most certainly one homely guy. No question. But is he championship caliber homely? That's the stuff that riots are made of.

It's true the bad teeth are a bit of an advantage. Don't know if you took that away how homely he'd actually be. Next people will be pulling their own tooth, breaking their noses and giving themselves cauliflower ears just to win.

His numerous missing front teeth and wide range of grotesque facial expressions are the only thing that let him win. That's ridiculous. I can't see how missing front teeth and a wide range of grotesque facial expressions could possibly count in a Mr. Ugly contest. The whole thing is an outrage.

There is only one possible solution. Next year; instant replay review.

Agreed. Instant replay needs to come to sub-saharan Africa so their Mr. Ugly contests can be held with the same standards of fairness that first world nations enjoy, and no one has done a thing about it. It's the scourge of our times.

In all seriousness, how can there be cheating in an entirely subjective contest?
They need to introduce some objective elements to the contest, such as "lion poaching" and the "wildebeest toss".

Marshall, I'm writing a letter to request an application. Shall I get one for you too? It's no trouble. Really.

I think any of us male forumites could enter if we were allowed to be naked.
