Loe impressed the judges in all three categories, which included beachwear/leisurewear,
talent, and eveningwear. Loe dressed as a toga clad Olympic god being fed grapes
by the goddess escorts as he was wheeled on stage on top of a utility cart during
the beachwear/leisurewear category, and then wowed the crowd with his wonderfully
executed Evolution of Dance for the talent portion of the show. He finishing
up in eveningwear in a black suit and red-trimmed fedora.
Along with being named Mr. Cinderfella, Loe also was named the winner of the
