If this were a photo judging contest ......
Based solely on the photos I've seen, my best guess is that the overall SHOULD go to Sean, but it takes more than a year or so for officials to overlook a 'bad attitude' attitude, so that 'old time' Sean might be to his disadvantage this year and possibly - this "year only" if he continues down his most recent "great attitude" path.
Regardless of the past, I hope he wins it this year if he competes in the condition he has shown in these most recent photos.
If he does lose, most of us fans will be blaming the judges, but I hope that if that becomes a necessity; we blame them for the right reason.
