It was an exciting week in donutdom, as the winners of the prior week's competitions faced off for Best in Show. Everybody ranked their 3 favorites out of the 5 winners, with 1st place getting a 3 point weighting, 2nd place getting 2 points, and 3rd getting 1.
And the winner is... The Dunkin Donuts Boston Kreme donut (to just about no one's surprise). 6 of the 8 judges voted for it as their 1st place winner, so it easily takes Best in Show with 18 points.
First runner-up went to the Dunkin Donuts Jelly. It got one vote for 1st place, 3 for 2nd, and 2 for 3rd, so it gets first runner-up with 11 total points.
Second runner-up was a surprise - the Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed donut. Many were expecting the regular Krispy Kreme glazed to make a higher showing, but the chocolate glazed capture 3 2nd place votes and 1 3rd place vote, squeaking into second runner-up status with 7 points.
The Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Iced donut and the Krispy Kreme Glazed both received a mere 6 points, although not one person voted for the Krispy Kreme Glazed for 1st place (1 voted for the Iced for 1st place). The Glazed did get 2 2nd place votes and 2 3rd place votes, while the Iced received no 2nd place votes, but 3 3rd place votes.
All in all a tasty experience.
