It’s just one more example of how Iaconelli walks to the beat of a different drummer. Most of these guys underestimate their weight. It seems to be a psychological advantage for them to have a BASSTrakk weight of say, 19 pounds, then weigh-in 21 pounds on the official scales. Ike goes the other way.
So we took a poll in the media trailer: If BASSTrakk shows him with 18-4, what’s Ike really got? Six media “experts” participated, and the guesses ranged from 17-3 to 16-1. An extra large dill pickle will be delivered to the winner, courtesy of Thomas Allen, provided he doesn’t win it himself.
No matter what Iaconelli actually weighs-in this afternoon, he’s definitely moving up. He was 40th on Day 1 with 12-5, 23rd on Day 2 with 14-10 and appears to be solidly locked into Monday’s Top 12 final, whether he’s really got 18-4 or 16-1 or somewhere in between.
