Just wanted to share my opinions of the pro fitness show since I got to see it from a new perspective (sitting pregnant in the audience rather than competing on stage
)...
First of all, after viewing the score cards I have to say that the routines were actually scored fairly. Usually, in the IFBB whatever a competitor scores in physique rounds seems to be how she scores in the routine rounds regardless of how different the scores should be. In this show, it actually seemed that the routine rounds shifted the final placings (as they should-this is "fitness" after all). The only exceptions to this were Julie Lohre's 2-minute which should have placed 1st (or at least higher than 7th
) and Bridgette Murrays 2-minute which should have placed higher as well.
As for final placings, I believe Julie Lohre should have placed first considering her overall package is awesome. Again, if her routine were judged fairly that would have happened. I think Bethany's physique was incredible and she deserved her placing. I think Tracy's Physique was also amazing (as always), but not sure why some of the other routines placed so much lower than hers.
In general though, it seemed much more fair than the Europa and certainly the NY Pro.
Congrats ladies and good luck at the "O"
