If you claim you feel cheated when you lose a competition because of who else is in the competition, you shouldn't be competing. There is always the possibility you will lose in any competition. If a regular celebrity set up that kind of competition and just sat back, relaxed and watched the average joe earn money for charity in need, you wouldn't bat an eye, but because this guy got off his ass and joined in the competition, somehow he's a bad guy?

Yes, but you also shouldn't compete in your own competition.

I could see that being the argument if the competition resulted in a prize for the winner to keep for themselves and he entered and won, so he got to keep his money for himself. But that wasn't the case. People were competing to have money donated to a charity. And his sister feels cheated because a charity in need got a donation and it wasn't her chosen charity? That's a little narcissitic.

I think it’s an interesting dilemma.. on one hand, if you lose a completion no excuses.. on the other I think an argument can be made for the organizer having a mental edge being the other contestants. He will have had a full understanding or exactly how the day will play out.

My issue would be with any organizers participating in any event in any sport. their full focus should be on running/improving the event and guest experiences. If the goal is to raise money for charity the organizer should be totally focused and getting people back next time, investing more, inviting more friends.

Exactly. I don’t have any evidence to say something nefarious was at play, but it seemed off to me.

You can put your mind to rest that there is nothing nefarious about just not being good enough.
