Hopping down the underwear trail

A loss need not be a loss

Dolly Parton
once entered a Dolly Parton Look-a-Like Drag contest and loss to a man in drag who looked more like Dolly Parton than the real Dolly Parton. She is not the only one to enter a look-a-like contest and lose.

Charles Chaplin
once entered a Tramp Look-a-like Contest and came in 3rd to two men who looked more like Charles as a Tramp than the real Chaplin.

Ann-Margaret
when she was on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour came in 2nd, losing to a man who played a tune by blowing on a leaf.

Dennis Miller and Sinbad
by the luck of the draw competed against each other in the comedy category on Star Search. Both receiving a perfect 4.0 score from the judges. So the decision was turned over to the audience to pick the winner, and again they tied. Each receiving the same number of votes. So, they both came back the next week, and again both received a perfect 4.0 score from the judges. Again, it was up to the audience to pick the winner, and Dennis Miller lost, Sinbad receiving 1 more vote than Dennis Miller.

This is old, dating back to the time of ancient Greece. When, who is considered one of the great ancient Greek dramatists entered a drama contest with what is now considered a classic ancient Greek drama and lost. What was the winning entry? We do not know as no known example of it still exists.
