Amber first??? Hmmmmmmm this is the second time I have heard this ;)
If you look at her placings since she's competed as a pro, on the Olympia stage she's improved each year. She was second last year and won the West Palm Beach two weeks later. We haven't seen her on stage since then, she's rested and who knows how she'll look. At the Europa she looked well on track with her conditioning.
2004 - 5th
2005 - 4th
2006 - 2nd
2007 - ???
Valerie has won two shows this year and is also looking good. I'm sure we won't see a display like last year from Val.

I think Jenny will have her toughest time yet, but will prevail. I think Amanda and Monica are going to be close and could go either way... same with Amber and Valerie.

I'm going to tell you this one more time with all the humility I can summon up. You're an idiot. You know what I'm going to do, Menudo, just to show you there are no hard feelings? I'm going to sleep with your wife.

I'm going to sleep with your wife.
Lopez???

Marc is married to lopez. When did this happen? And why wasn't I invited.
You guys crack me up. the goldfish and I are laughing.

oh buddy, we can see ur trying to keep up with me on ur fake account,
so how do u summon up humility as a fake?
When u come out from behind ur mask & tights, im up for a PUA competition with u anytime
Remember only the biggest losers cant even show themselves on a web forum, let alone in person!
Oh please geeks, JC doesnt go out much, like u guys...so he cant keep up!
-
Lopez???
I believe he refers to her him as, 'Oh kind and benevolent leader'.
-
just like u refer to ur cow wife?

Bet you'd lick my shoes to be me. Wouldn't you kid?... Because I like you, you don't have to lick them, just dust them with your sleeve.

I'd just like to say that most of us begin life suckling on a breast. If we're lucky we end life suckling on a breast. So anybody who's against breasts is against life itself. Denny Crane. I'm not worried, Menudo. Do I look worried? Yeah. Look out there. My domain. My city. I'm Denny Crane.

Mask?
Cape?
Tights?
anyone???
We must make a thread for the intelligent fakes so they can play with each other, call it "Hide & Seek"

Is Amber competing? I thought she retired last year....it would be great to see her on stage again. Her physique is amazing.
Good luck to all the girls and especially Jenn Gates...wow what a year!!!!

Menudo you should spend less time dancing shirtless at Polyesters with men. MarcMenudo, Because we're friends, I'm gonna tell you something nobody else knows. I'm homophobic. It was great seeing you dj though.

Epic change of topic from your terrible polyester djing. For their sake I hope you photograph better than you dj. They'll learn after they shoot with you why you room with Lopez often.

Any one who has to brag to "a bunch of geeks" who they are photographing is overcompensating for something.

Yeah, that is sorta weird.
Most photographers don't pre-announce their shoots or feel the need to boast about their shoots at all.

You're right, you are a wannabe dj who owns a camera. That doesn't make you a photographer.

Of course sweetie. We plan on partying until we drop. Let me know where the limo can pick you up. Ken and I can't wait to see you. Hope you enjoyed your massage.

Yes, Amber is competing. Issac did an interview with her and her husband at the Europa show. It is posted on
Bodybuilding.com under the Europa show video clips. It sounds like she is definitely coming in swinging this year.

Who the hell are these people? Dani Rauleau????? Never heard of her. What has she ever done in the Fitness or Figure world to profess to be so all knowing. From what I can tell her big expertise is being an NPC Competitor. Their website looks very professional, but they seem to me to be a cheerleading squad for people they know or wish they knew.
Their predictions for the O sounds like it comes from someone who does not know all that they think they do. Their comments about Jenny and Amber are idiotic. >:(
Come on, anyone who would say, "Jenny's weakness in recent years has been her overall presentation" is blind or not attending the show. Jenny's presentation is flawless. This is why she is the current MS. O. This peabrain goes on to make some off handed comment about some "sign that certain things are catching up to her". WTF was that in reference to. About the only thing catching up to her is her ability to take the O.
Her comments about Amber shows she knows very little about the O and even less about the Industry as a whole. The judges at the O are not just from the USA, but are mixed with international judges. They do not give a rats ass if a competitor has been running around doing shoots for every smoe who asks or if she has been kissing ass to the newest web site wantabe. They only care about what the competitor brings to the stage that day. It is probably the closest thing the IFBB has to being a fair competition. By the way Miss America is paid to promote the padgent; Ms. Figure O is only paid to win that day. They are not obligated to promote or play Ambassador for figure or fitness in mainstream anything.
Your site claims to care so much about promoting and respecting competitors, maybe you could start by doing your homework before talking crap about them. You obviously don't know Amber. You say, "Amber does not have a lot of enthusiasm for the business side of the sport". She is a sponsored athlete by her husband Jeff who owns Nutrex. Up until Jeff's cancer came back both she and Jeff helped to answered any and all emails on their company site (including mine).
Jeff and Amber are two of the most interesting people in this sport, primarily because they have a full life outside of the sport. Last time I spoke to Amber she was a full time student preparing for Law School, she worked with one of my favorite volunteer groups call CASA which represents children in the legal system, and she was helping her husband to work on his passion to sponsor and create a group home for young men that would give them the education, counseling, mentoring and spiritual support they need to succeed in life. They are not the kind of "Christian" like some in this industry that use that term as a hall pass for running around judging people and pretending to be "holier than tho". They are those rare people that try to put Christ's values to practice. Geese, even Denny Crane might approve of them. These days from what I hear her main focus is not this silly industry or even the O, it is to her husbands recovery. Her husband Jeff is one of the most respected Guru's in the industry and he is a brutally honest person. If he says Amber is coming in prepared to win....I would believe him.

I didn't read the article but you're correct on this. If anyone is saying Jenny's presentation is her weakness they clearly have no clue. That is her biggest strength and what she is known for on stage. Had they said her weakness in recent years has been her legs then yes.
Regarding Amber and Jeff - anyone wishing to hear the latest from them, check out the video from the Europa at:

I think they meant to say 'strength', not 'weakness'.
International DJ - You're now dissing your boyfriend in an open forum? You were all lovey-dovey a week ago. What happened? Did that STD test come back positive?

These people are imposters like lopez and menudo. Danielle is a chubby NPC competitor that hasn't come close to making the top 10 this year. I've often found that it's the chubby girls who offend most easily. I don't know why because I'm not a psychiatrist. For what it's worth I like chubby girls, I enjoy chubby sex. What I'm trying to say is if this is a lonely chubby's cry for help. I'm here for you Danielle. So. We could...

Well I have nothing against marriage. I've done it five times. But here's the thing about wives, they don't let you play with your friends.

Malibu & Denny - With all due respect, I don't think that Danielle Rouleau is writing contest previews for FigureRx.
I could be wrong, but it's more likely that I am right.

Gina Aliotti is definitely a contender for the top 6 given her showing at the TOC. Best showing she's had to date.

Hi Tre',
Danielle is a co-author of some of our reports on the figure side, while Beth and Erin are assisting with the fitness side.
Dani had some personal difficulties in 2007 after several top five finishes in 2006 but she will be on stage at her best in 2008. She's 22 years old and I don't think that anyone has seen her at her best yet, and we're excited to have her on our figure team.
Any predictions for a show of this size are bound to be controversial, and we obviously don't wish to offend anyone in any way. :) That would be the exact opposite of what we are about. We don't know everything. That's part of what makes this all fun.
Malibu Barbie, we do hope and expect that any Olympia winner would put personal interests aside and work for the benefit of the sport, at least in some respect. Amber has the physique to win this, as we say in the article. As an investment bank that operates the FigureRX web portal, our primary goal is to expand the industry within the mainstream sports community to the benefit of *all* the athletes. We don't think the industry is silly and we believe that figure and fitness competitors are among the top athletes in the world, and deserve to be treated (and compensated) accordingly.
Denny, you're the best - hilarious!!

Yes, Geek speak. ROFL = Rolling on the floor laughing (this time at Marc_Gayson getting owned here again.... not a good run for him here lately. LOL)

I agree, Lift. Especially with another week to tighten up the lower body, I think top 3 is pretty likely for her. Looked incredible at the TOC.

Now i do remember i heard the HD spiel you gave to JC after u kissed Valerie Waugamans ass at last years Olympia...

(in case nobody has ever told u, yes u do look as nerdy as u sound)
now i feel sorry for the girl!
please dont comeback with...oh we talk on the phone all the time, bc i bet Valerie cant wait 4 ur calls ROLF

A very bad run, rookie.
Help your fans out: Are you the loser who was passed out on JC's couch or are you the loser who was 'helping' him film models on his trip to Vegas for the USAs? Or maybe you're both?
I look forward to your next witty comeback, girlfriend.

Dammit, there's nothing worse than being half-wrong.
Gee, thanks a lot, FigureRx. >:(
So, I hereby stand semi-corrected.

Extremely. Possibly the weakest post in getbig history, bro.

Funny how many guys come here looking for a fight to show off in the women's area. I thought this thread was more about the women of the Figure Olympia. Not how many of you "dudes" can come on here and puff out your chicken chests and show off your pretty feathers.
Boys, put your schoolboy egos away and talk about the athlets or go play on MySpace.
My bets would go with Lado, Littljohn, Brant and Lynn (no particular order). Val will put on a good show, but not sure how well her physique will compare to others.
Fitness Fan
-
Val beat Jenny last year at the Colorado and has one of the best physiques in the industry when she is "on". She most certainly compares well to the other women. Mary's physique is good but we never know what we might get from her - often time stringy in the upper body or she hits it spot on. Monica always comes in great as does Amber.
Amanda and Gina are also in the mix.
I would not want to be a judge at this show.

Is that the best "dirt" you can find on me? thats quite a retort, ive been a bad boy huh!
Actually, if u must know "O Queen of Gossip Tre" i only arrived in the USA that week after flying 25hrs & moving from Dubai.
The place i first moved into had its power cut & internet disconnected after staying there only 2 nights, and between looking at another place to move into, doing my own shoots, and going for interviews for gigs it wasnt easy. So sure JC let me stay a couple nights. I shot a couple girls in return when it got busy at his place. If that makes me in your eyes a loser, well i think i can live with your intelligent judgement champ.
You will be at The Olympia right Mr Frank Scott? that is your real name isnt it?
How about we set up a time to meet at The Expo on Friday, you let me know & ill be there.
I dont want you dodging me like you dodge JC, what i say on here, I can tell you & HD to your face.
Now if you are a man & not a mouse, then you will be able to do the same.
So name the time on here my friend, and we can report back on the outcome.
You can bring HD along with you for moral support if you like. Or even the biggest IFBB girl you enjoy wrestling.
I'll still tell it like it is. You will be embarrassed my friend.
No weasling out will be accepted
:D
-
Agree on previous placings with Val, but from what I gather, nothing specific, but you can just tell how hungry Littlejohn and Monica must be...not to say Valerie isn't. However after her "show" last year, you have to wonder how she'll do. Aliotti and Amanda will likely come in tight, and to date, we've not seen that from Val, but have from others....IF that's what they go for.
Agreed, at ANY pro show, I couldn't take the heat! Fact is, someone will ALWAYS tell them they are wrong! LOL

When Val shows up and let's her physique speak for itself she does best. If her display last year was going to hurt her in any placings, she wouldn't have won two shows this year.
The judges have a chance to send a message on what type of look they want for figure. We'll see what it is in a few days.
-
I think that it depends on a height preference with the judges. If an average height woman is the preference it will be Jenny Lynn or Monica and if its tall then Mary Lado or Valerie Waugaman and if it is short maybe someone like Christine Pomponio-Pate (not competing) or Jennifer Gates.
-
Aliotti and Amanda will likely come in tight, and to date, we've not seen that from Val, but have from others....IF that's what they go for.
I respectfully disagree here...... Val came in tight as hell at the Arnold, tighter than most any figure competitor I can recall in recent years..... she finished 5th, so they clearly weren't looking for that at the Arnold. I preferred that look, however, and hope they *do* look for that at the O and future pro shows.

LOL - agree, he's definitely one of the more juvenile posters I can recall on the womens boards here. Gotta love the "internet tough guys". ::)
-
I think for the most part people were amused and entertained by Valerie's routine at the Olympia, and it only affected her placing at the show itself. By 2007 it was forgotten and she was competing on her merites. I agree that she was incredibly tight at the Arnold (see the photos on our preview - ripped to shreds) and she won the Houston Pro partly because there wasn't much in the way of politics at that show - the process there was very fair and open. Very few can match her genetics when the playing field is even. Pulling hard for Val, Monica and Gina!! But Isaac is right when he says that a statement may be made and we really have no idea in which direction the judges will go.
I respectfully disagree here...... Val came in tight as hell at the Arnold, tighter than most any figure competitor I can recall in recent years..... she finished 5th, so they clearly weren't looking for that at the Arnold. I preferred that look, however, and hope they *do* look for that at the O and future pro shows.

I don't think Val's onstage antics hurt her placings as much as her physique did last year. It (her posing) was definitely different and certainly didn't help her but Val brought a softer physique last year and it didn't suit her well.
Bringing up "politics" for one show but not all seems silly to me. How can you say one show had a fair playing field and another didn't? When Val wins they get it right but when she places 5th it was due in part to politics?

Is that the best "dirt" you can find on me? thats quite a retort, ive been a bad boy huh!
Actually, if u must know "O Queen of Gossip Tre" i only arrived in the USA that week after flying 25hrs & moving from Dubai.
The place i first moved into had its power cut & internet disconnected after staying there only 2 nights, and between looking at another place to move into, doing my own shoots, and going for interviews for gigs it wasnt easy. So sure JC let me stay a couple nights. I shot a couple girls in return when it got busy at his place. If that makes me in your eyes a loser, well i think i can live with your intelligent judgement champ.
You will be at The Olympia right Mr Frank Scott? that is your real name isnt it?
How about we set up a time to meet at The Expo on Friday, you let me know & ill be there.
I dont want you dodging me like you dodge JC, what i say on here, I can tell you & HD to your face.
Now if you are a man & not a mouse, then you will be able to do the same.
So name the time on here my friend, and we can report back on the outcome.
You can bring HD along with you for moral support if you like. Or even the biggest IFBB girl you enjoy wrestling.
I'll still tell it like it is. You will be embarrassed my friend.
No weasling out will be accepted
:D
This has to be one of the funniest GetBig posts of all time - I think this is the first time anyone has ever asked me for a date in the fitness section. The so-called 'dirt on you' came from the models who expressed displeasure with their trips to your place back in July...and that was what they said even before the checks from your boy started bouncing.
If your DJ skills are as good as your message board comedy skills, then I'm sure you're doing rather well in that arena.
"Dodge JC"...that's beyond rich.
-
Since it would be sacrilege to say that Val is the Muhammed Ali of IFBB figure, I will instead say that Ali is the Valerie Waugaman of boxing.
;D

Hi guys.
Terry Goodlad just weighed in on our Figure Olympia preview thread with a lot of great insider information on the athletes - who is ready and who is not. It's worth a read if you have the time.

Marc,
What is your agenda here?
Take your low-testoterone dribble to the x,y, or z board. This board is not intended for you to attempt to pick fights with others.

As long as he included the words, "drop-dead gorgeous and one of the world's finest physiques EVER", then he can be as blunt as he wants. :D

My agenda, simple.
I would like to meet some Highly regarded Professional industry folk on here for advice face to face, since i am a novice
is that beyond reproach?

It all started in good fun, but once the majority of the participants made it clear they wanted to discuss the Figure Olympia, he continued jumping up-and-down shouting "Look at me! Look at me! You guys are afraid to meet me!" and while it was funny the first couple of times, now it's just sad.
If I do agree to 'meet him at the Expo', chances are he'll be wearing an 'Affliction' t-shirt.
And assless chaps.

Great I look forward to meeting you on Thursday. See you at the Meet the Olympians.

I actually think Valerie will win, this year.
It wasnt just her unorthodox posing that let her down last year, but also her choice in suits.
She wont make that mistake this year.
;D

Agreed, sad indeed.
FYI Tre - International DJs can't afford both an affliction shirt and assless chaps. For everyone's sake I hope he goes for the t-shirt.

Finally, some intelligent dialogue from you.
And yes, I agree. I think if Val hits her conditioning, she should win, and yes, last year, her suits and physique were not up to par. Last month at the North Americans, she gave me a preview of the new suits and hair style (well, that wasn't 100% decided on yet, but close), and I think she's got the formula for success this time 'round.
But I'm sure Jenny, Monica, and Gina are going to provide some stiff competition. Looking forward to Friday.
-
Great I look forward to meeting you on Thursday. See you at the Meet the Olympians.
then we can debate the intricacies of the lifestyle of an International Dj in person, as you seem to know so much on here
I highly doubt u know much about it at all.
Yes, Val's hair needs to be better than last year too!
That gel approach is ok for guys like me who like fonzie, but not the shining star that should be no1

Any predictions for a show of this size are bound to be controversial, and we obviously don't wish to offend anyone in any way. :) That would be the exact opposite of what we are about. We don't know everything. That's part of what makes this all fun.
Malibu Barbie, we do hope and expect that any Olympia winner would put personal interests aside and work for the benefit of the sport, at least in some respect. Amber has the physique to win this, as we say in the article. As an investment bank that operates the FigureRX web portal, our primary goal is to expand the industry within the mainstream sports community to the benefit of *all* the athletes. We don't think the industry is silly and we believe that figure and fitness competitors are among the top athletes in the world, and deserve to be treated (and compensated) accordingly.
Steven,
There is controversial and then there is rude, disrespectful and dumb and you don't even have the ca hones to own up to having been the latter. Not that I wish to offend anyone in any way. :) If you truly believed the figure and fitness competitors deserve to be treated like top athletes in the world why rudely spout off stupid stuff about the reining Ms. O and then make dumbsh#t assumptions about last years runner up. What they don't fit into your *all* athletes category ???.
Since you (Great White Hope Investment Banker) expect that any Olympia winner should put personal interests aside and work for the benefit of the sport, are you personally going to be compensating them accordingly to do so (say to the tune of $100K or higher). Ya, I doubt it. ::) Competitors (including Olympia winners) don't owe Johnie Come Lately web portal operators like you, smoe photographers, potential elusive sponsors or the rip off magazine industry jack sh#t. Maybe if more women on the Olympia stage realized this they might start to demand their worth for a change. Maybe, but I doubt it, competitors might start to realize all the personal and important interests they have set aside and sacrificed to stand on a stage so that others can gain money off of their doing so isn't the way to go. Respecting all aspects of their life might be. Maybe it might occur to them they are selling off some of the most valuable things in life for cheap.
As to this being a silly industry......:
1. Well, of course there is the ever looming dark cloud of JM Management or Fitness Management Group or whatever it's called. At best this is an unbecoming impropriety that casts doubts on fairness in judging. At worst this is a conflict of interest for a non profit and a law suit waiting to happen. (What you think Denny? You are a big shot lawyer. Can you see $ signs before you eyes.)
2. Let's see. Oh, yeah what mainstream publicity have we had this year? The Craig and Kelly saga.
3. Then there is the reality that probably every one of the women on that stage has done or is currently doing something that is or has been extremely unhealthy to their body. Most if not all on that stage are probably taking some type of substance that is not FDA approved. Yes, even your Green Goddess herself is probably juicing more than weatgrass.
4. The fact that Olympia Men make what now $100,000 prize money and Olympia Women make $20,000 or so and few question this....especially the women because if they did they would not have a chance in hell of winning. Oh, ya and now they have a responsibility to put aside their personal lives and play Ambassador for the sport.
5. Knowing that there are women in the industry who pay planefair, hotel fees, hundreds of dollars for costume changes to be photographed by some guy (sometimes creeps) who rarely pay them anything is, well, silly. These guys generally get profits from their smoe websites that rarely benefit the women. If the photographer is lucky he can sell his shots to a magazine and profit further, rarely if ever do the women.
6. Last but not least is the realization that there are multitudes of women who will flock to your site and believe any spiel from any guy would claim to be the "investment banker" looking out for their best interest and offering potential sponsorship. I hope I am wrong, but I have to agree with Denny you seem like another self serving impostor. (a smooth talking slick one I must say.)
-
. We don't think the industry is silly and we believe that figure and fitness competitors are among the top athletes in the world, and deserve to be treated (and compensated)
Umm, no offence to you or anyone - but no way.
It goes for both, but especially for figure let's be real here - just no way at all. I see no comparison to stepping onstage in a glittery suit and turning around four times [lets be frank here that is what happens] to Asafa Powell running the 100 in sub 10secs, Michael Jordan dunking from the the free throw line, Nadia Comăneci's 10 point uneven bar routine or even the Kenyans hitting their marathon world records.
Sorry to appear condescending, not my intent I myself compete, but figure simply does not have the awe inspiring ability of say the Superbowl, nor the fan base in general to even begin to dream of getting the compensation similar to top world athletes.

Gina will be a threat to the top 5 and looking like she did at the TOC - top 3.
She'll follow it up with a top spot in West Palm two weeks later.
-
Am I the only one here in love with Lado?
Just aksin'...
-
She is a gorgeous athlete and a wonderful person. ;)
It's just on the Olympia stage it would great to see some more muscle.
-
I disagree even though Gina does look good I cant see her cracking the top 5.This is the Olympia the best of the best,not the Toc. Where the field wasnt the strongest.Anyway maybe next year after a few of these girls call it quits.We will see in a few days
-

I'll put money on her cracking the top 6. She is one of the most polished, poised comeptitors on stage. She can hold her own on any stage. The TOC was just a lil warm up for the big dance. ;D
-
Isaac originally you predicted Gina to be 7th.Now you guarantee her cracking the 6 spot. Who are you switching her up for? Or are you just betting JM has his girl in the top 6 for next years qualification.
-
Isaac originally you predicted Gina to be 7th.Now you guarantee her cracking the 6 spot. Who are you switching her up for? Or are you just betting JM has his girl in the top 6 for next years qualification.
After seeing Gina at the TOC I changed my mind, pretty simple.
-
I've never met Gina and I don't think I've even seen her off-stage, but what I saw ONstage at the 2006 Colorado Pro left me pretty much speechless, especially when one of the other observers remarked at how young she is.
She may not win the title this year, but mark these words - Gina Aliotti is a future Figure Olympia champion. I don't think it's at all a stretch to say that she has one of the top 5-6 physiques in the game. The only way I'd move her down is if *every* one of the best physiques in the pro fitness division decided to cross over to figure.
She's a great one in the making, folks. Again, I've never met her, so my opinion on this is completely unbiased.
-
Your entitled to change your mind,but I think you will be suprised she doesnt crack the top 5.It doesnt matter anyway she will still be doing this next year and her face will be even more jacked up than it is now.I cant believe shes only 23.And you Isaac will still kissing whoever ass you can,and will probally be about 15 lbs heavier.I seen you recently it looks like you are getting fatter. :)

Oh how lovely. I have someone who knows me. WEEEE.
You seen me? You mean you saw me. My, my, I'm flattered. It's not 15 it's about 20lbs but you were close. Winter is quickly approaching and it gets a little cold here in Denver. My winter coat is needed, but feel free to keep track of my weight into the spring when I shed my coat. You should be up to 10 posts by then.
Now what does my weight have anything to do with Gina and her doing well this weekend? Care to wager Gina placing in the top 6 this weekend or are you afraid you'll have to pay up and expose yourself and your weak gimmick account?
-

Hi Isaac :)!
No worries my friend. I am in the same boat as you-it is now offseason and I am enjoying myself training hard and putting on some muscle for next competition season-looking a little plumper..LOL Troy said I have thiggles and he loves it :)! Thiggles=thick (but a good thick) + jiggles (more curves that have some bouce)...LOL

Then you were a web designer,were you have more past clients because you never update anyones sites.Now you take pictures for a living, a wannabe Terry Goodlad.
As far as making a wager you dont have enough money to place a wager.See with my net worth of close to 25 million dollars the only thing I would wager is $500,000 and up. Not the $50 bucks you are talking about.So if you really want to get it on, go get your money together,but dont forget these judges could be bought.And I might have them in my pocket already.So go take some more pictures of Krissy tell her how wonderful she is,and lets watch her face transform also in the next year.Because she will never do anything as a pro.

What the hell?
First the international DJ and now you? Is 'total tackiness' the thing now?
Just be thankful for your good fortune in life and use your resources to make your corner of the world a better place, not to put down those who don't have as much money in the bank as you do.
I've called Isaac a company man before, but the IFBB *needs* someone like him on the PR side. He's passionate about the industry and its people and the work he does helps to grow the sport. It may not be on the grand scale that someone as wealthy as yourself might expect, but the man works. Plus, now that he's more opinionated, he's a lot more fun. :D
He's a top-flight web designer and a very good photographer. He's also a hustler when it comes to working the shows, doing his shoots, and then interviewing the competitors long after the crowd has gone to party or to bed, in some cases. And once he gets home, he busts his tail to get the material published as quickly as possible, which is something the fans appreciate.
Ok, that's my "In Defense Of" moment for today.
Carry on.

If trying to promote things positively and engaging in discussions about the industry is an ass kisser, then so be it. I've never been a "wannabe bodybuilder" and I've competed twice. I did it to gain perspective on what it takes to compete and step on stage. I have respect for any one who follows through and steps on stage. It helps my clients because I know what it takes to get on stage. Can you say the same? I still am a web designer and a couple of sites will be launched tonight. Photography is only part of my biz and Terry Goodlad I am not. Terry is a great photographer and writer whose work I admire.
That's great you have such vast amounts of money. Whatever are you doing on getbig, in the female section with such wealth?
Krissy is wonderful and I will tell her that when I see her this weekend.
You are really hung up on women's faces. First Grace, then Gina and now Krissy. Shall I expose you now or later and post your mug on here for all to see who is behind this gimmick?
Pucker up :-*

After seeing the girls tonight dont be surprised if Mary lado wins it all she looks fantastic.

After seeing the girls tonight
Sure you did.
Sucks to be a gimmick when your girl doesn't do as well as you like and can't post about her, huh?

Not a slam on her at all, she is a beautiful woman but I do *not* see her winning after viewing pics and the callouts don't seem to have her headed that way either....

Agree - def. OFF........

Jenny Lynn's hair looks great thought.. :P

That's a really good photo of her. :o

The Arnold is wide open at this point in 2008. Mary was behind and should not have competed in this show. She will be out of the top 6 and could easily be out of the top 10 tomorrow night.
Jenny Lynn is your clear winner and I have Jen Gates in second. Jen without a doubt is your rookie of the year in Figure.

Hey without forgetting Monica she looks stunning. ;D

Mo looked great as usual but will most likely find herself on the outside of the top five tonight when the final placings are awarded.

And all Jen was aiming for was top ten and she understands that she's a newbie. I'm rooting for Jen tonight to make top five!!! ;D

Isaac I hope that you'll be mistaken when the results are out . ;)

That is probably where the judging is heading, based on the call-outs, but that's very sad for the sport.
It was great to see Amy Fry in the second and third call-outs - that's more like it!!

I have to say I don't think Jenny was as good and unbeatable as she was last year. She really is stunningly beautiful (especially in the eyes) having the "look" and personality of a champion but just seemed to be holding some water. She has some great legs but they along with her back lacked that bit of detail that is necessary in figure. Gina and Amber for my money were right on though. I haven't seen any pics of Jen Gates but she must have been awesome if she is considered second.

Agreed, Amber's body was near perfect. Who knows what will happen tonight. IMO she should have won.

I like Amber's physique.
Monica looks like a tiny little thing compared to some of those girls.
P.S. If you want to be a figure competitor, you should move to Ohio or near the Ohio River. It seems to produce a lot of girls from there, no? Must be something in the water. ;)
-
Or it's the expert work of super-trainer Mike Davies and Fitness Factory!! Fitness has been popular in Ohio for a very long time, and then Arnold recognized that by choosing Columbus for his show. After that it just continued to grow - there's also an excellent farm team of NPC figure talent.
Mike had a very interesting interview after the fitness finals last night, very blunt .... about some confusion at the top, Tanji's physique not fitting in, etc -- it's worth a listen.

Gotta say Kentucky is not doing too bad either. Must really be the Ohio River water. Julie, Jenny Lynn....

For sure! Not a native, but I did live in Lexington (family is still there) and graduated from UK. I was happy to see Julie wearing her "True Blue" colors. All those KY girls are gorgeous! Congratulations to Julie on her great showing.

I don't think that is why Arnold chose Columbus for his show, but he has done a great job with bringing in a lot of money to the city.
Mike is a good guy and I had a chance to talk with him a bit more through out the weekend. He did a great job with his girls this weekend as did Kim Oddo.
One thing we're not talking about this year is the "Green Goddess". She toned down her posing and found herself out of the top 6 again. I liked the look that Val brought to the stage.
Stephen - if you don't mind me asking, who is contributing to your reports as you were not in attendance?

Val got screwed... again.
She blew everyone off the stage at the Arnold, and got 5th place. The judges told her she was too lean, too hard, too ripped, and that she would have to "tone it down" to move up. They said they were looking for a softer look.
Val brought a softer look to the Olympia, and who was in the top six. Nice lean, hard and ripped women... IMO the look the IFBB should be going for, but the very look they were telling the girls to abandon. Gina and Amanda looked awesome. I'm sure Val coulda brought that if the judges had told her to, but they didn't. Just keep on guessing.
May be we should have two different contests... the Arnold is the fat contest, where you show up soft and mushy to win, and the Olympia where you come in ripped and hard to win. What a joke!
Funny thing is, Mary Lado looked as bad at the Olympia as she did at the Arnold, and she won the Arnold! She's got to be scratchin her head. If you're looking for soft, she certainly knows how to bring it.
And the person who got totally screwed the worst is Natalie Benson. If they want muscular and hard, she blows everyone off the stage, and what did she get???

Actually, Val placed 9th not 5th. Val wasn't too soft in my opinion, she just didn't flex her legs like he usually does. Her look was good at this show but so were a number of others. Mary looked MUCH better at the Arnold. Mary placed 10th and a case could be made for her placing even lower.
-
I think the best thing for figure competitors to do is to come in the way they think they look their best. Most of the time when you make changes for the judges it backfires. Valerie was perfect all year but when she softened her look for the judges she got booted out of the top 6 to 9th. Monica always looked great at the Olympia when she came in the way she wanted. As soon as she lost some of her leg mass for the judges favor she dropped from being the 3rd best in the world down to I think 7th? That's insulting especially to someone of her caliber. :-\ Gina Aliotti blew me away. Some opinion is that she was too muscular but that is the look that look great on her physique and she could have won IMO. As for Mary Lado, I am trying to figure out if she was trying to add muscle because she has been criticized for being under muscled or she just wasn't as focused? Whatever the reason, if you are winning back to back Arnolds you are doing something right so why change?

Who did this interview and where can we hear it? That's what is so great about Mike Davies. He is honest and doesn't hold back. He tells it like it is.

Regarding Val's placing, she took 9th at the Olympia, but took 5th at the Arnold this past year, when she should have won. No one can tell me that the package Mary brought to the Arnold was the type of package the top 6 girls brought to the Olympia this weekend.
I agree with the comment that the girls should ignore the judges and bring their best package, but who can blame the girls for wanting to improve their placings? If you bring your "A" game and get 5th at the Arnold, with soft packages in front, and the judges tell you that you're too hard, I suppose you can ignore them and just bring the same package to the next big show, but you can't blame the girls for at least considering the judges comments.
Val will be the last person to complain, and I'm sure she's happy for the people who did well this weekend, but as a fan, I wish the judges would figure out what the heck they want and then be consistent with it.

Thanks for reminding us what a moron you are, too bad I didn't some of your money on your Gina comment.

This is a great post, I agree entirely!!
I don't think Mary did anything intentionally, based on what T.Goodlad and others were saying before the show. She was apparently just distracted a bit. I would guess that she wants to come in the way she did at the Arnold, given that it was successful for her. I personally hope she can hold a little bit more of her muscle on her frame when she competes - it's definitely there.

As you are well aware, I'm the biggest V-dubs fan of all ( :) ), but definitely feel she was way off at this show. I thought she was too soft, wouldn't matter if she was flexing legs or not. She had little to no vascularity in her upper body either.... that doesn't come out by flexing legs. If she would've come in just slightly softer than her Arnold look, there's no way anyone can deny her the O title, but she missed her conditioning by a considerable degree at this show. On the other hand, the new suits she was sportin' were terrific, and she always has the professional "package" together - total command of the stage.
I'm looking forward to seeing what she does differently for her next show. When Val is "on", there is no one better. But even when she's off, she enjoys herself on stage, and performs like a champion.

I don't give a good blankety-blank who's on, off, or sideways - V-dubs wears the crown.
