Did Pinkie Pie Cheat to win the Turkey Gala contest?

[BrawnyCharger 513]

In Filly Vanilli, Pinkie Pie was pretty bad throughout the episode. Everypony seems to point out her nasty behavior towards Fluttershy.

But I think Big Mac was a victim of her nastiness in the episode. During the Turkey Gala contest, you could see Pinkie poking her head out and giving a mischievous grin. It was later revealed that she won the contest rubbing it in the faces of the Ponytones. Granted. I would eventually lead to Fluttershy helping out and eventually becoming a member of the Ponytones. But still.

Twilight and the others should have openly called Pinkie out on her cheating and sent her to the "Bad Pinkie Corner".

Do you think Pinkie Pie cheated to win?

Nah. Nothing narratively points to her cheating. It's just what happens when you compete against a character who bends physics to her will.

I don't think she intentionally cheated to get him out, though Big Mac probably would have lost his voice anyway.

Well the look on Pinkie's face when it popped up in the crowd did seem rather devious. And considering how she behaved for the rest of the episode, I wouldn't put it past her.
