Re: International Competition & Fame . . .
If you go in, expect to be poked, prodded, probed and sampled. There are no two ways about it, and it's a real pity some competitors never seem to learn this. If the contestants are serious about the competition, then the competition needs to be serious about the competitors. If you stray from the norm, you're out. That is a given, even for U.S. competitors.

The same whining can be heard from politicians and film stars. If you don’t want your private life in the tabloids, stay out of the public limelight.
