Splendore want to be George Shea so badly it is literally coming out of his pants. Did the Shea brothers sit him down for classroom training to insure that he recites those corny stale outdated lines correctly during the intros

Someone mention at the contest that Gilbert clearly cheated which cost Koch a 2nd place finish. He is also an independent eater ate with AICE A direct violation of the IFOCE contract
