I doubt they'd be so downright discriminatory if it really came to that. Of course, they're hoping he loses to some hot babe they can flaunt on a magazine cover.

As a side note, I haven't seen any interviews lately on Hot_Bid's stance on male cross dressing.

Meh, I don't think it would create much ruckus outside of TL if they banned him for a competition aimed for "girls." At the end of the day they are trying to sell magazines and even though the power is strong among the TL community I doubt they'd put hotbid on the front page in a bikini. *shudders* We'll see if he wins.

People don't seem to understand that the voting only nominates the contestants for the semi-final and then it's judges time. The final will also be open for voting but then it's the judges decision in the end anyway. Maybe Hotbid will go through to the final if they think it's good pr but there's no way in hell he'll take the final grand prize thingy when it comes down to the judges a final time. Sad but most likely true. The only way I see Hotbid winning if it becomes "viral" and it gets so much press/attention they'd actually consider giving him the win.

I don`t care if this is their contest, that`s pathetic that HotBid is gone. I guess they did not want to deal with him actually beingg judged.
