Holy shit....the first one lasted forever. Typically, they cut that off at 60s (maybe 90 in some cases---guess that one has different rules). You know...you pay the money to enter, show up for the night show, I say do whatever you want (prejudging is over anyway). I would hate for there to be a ton of competitors and sitting backstage for 3mins per posing...that would suck.
That second one...dude looked like he had scar on his head. You never know why people enter shows (and I'm not saying this was the case...he could have just been a huge douche)...but in some cases, maybe this is a bucket list item (beat cancer, tough surgery, etc).
The Mike P. video was well done....that guy was just out there.
