Anyone with half a brain knows there's only 3 people with a realistic chance of winning this year's AMI invitational, Phil, Kai and Wolf.
Wolf is the longest shot because he's still trying to find the right way to peak for a show so his chances are very, very slim.
Kai has the physique to win but he still in no way is the competitor AMI wants to have the highest title, just way too much baggage, but he's an insurance policy in case their true favorite shows up looking like shit. Kai is the Dexter of 08, where Dex was the insurance policy in case the fridge showed up looking like a marshmallow, which of course he did.
Phil Heath is clearly going to win the Olympia this year unless he absolutely blows his conditioning, which I don't think he will. Most people thought he should have won the Arnold this year so the fans are clearly ready for him to be Mr. Olympia.
It's as simple as that.
