Just exactly who are the judges that will make the determination and rankings on who Mr. Olympia is? Does anyone know? Is that Steve Weinberger guy one?
I heard Shawn Ray complain one time that if you have the same judges every year you get the same results every year.
-
Hillary Clinton?
Donald Trump?
-
Judges dont have a personal opinion, they are not allowed to, seriously, all judges place the same guy first???
How does that happen.
-
You have a better chance of finding out the identity of Jack The Ripper or meeting Bigfoot in the woods.
I made this exact thread several times but it's quickly hushed down every time.
There is a huge secrecy about judges and we only know Lea Thompson is the boss and he is good friends with Heath.
Probably they are the same people year out, year in
-
Hillary Clinton?
Donald Trump?
I heard Bernie Sanders will be making an appearance on the judging panel. Rumor has it he wants everyone to place first and split the winnings between all 24 competitors.

They keep the judges secret because they don't want to be responsible for politics of course. At least in real pageants (even though politics are still involved), they proudly introduce/announce all the judges.

Isn't the mayor of bodybuilding the head judge this year?

So back to my question...
I was not able to watch the webcast. Were the judges introduced? Did the commentators say who the judges were? On the scorecards I saw there was no signature of a judge or names of judges.

Who cares?
All fixed anyway.

Doesn't matter, not like it's a sport / any of the judges have any credibility anyway.

Judges are the guys who receive the dues.

Y board mods.

And that's why they have secret identities
They have families and a real job and can't be mixed up with what goes down behind stage

Good question. Obviously no one on here will give you a straight answer, because no one on here knows. My question is, where do they sit? We see the front row (which would be the best view of the competitors) has Arnie and Franco and their girlfriends, but we see NO judges. I don't even know where Steve Weinberger was sitting. Bizarre.

This is my point precisely. There is so much controversy on this board about the placings and yet nobody seems to know who the judges were, where they sat, etc. And these are the people that are making all these final decisions.
I don't look at any other bodybuilding boards except one newer, smaller one. Have there been any interviews with the judges? Questioning them on what they saw wrong with this competitor or that competitor, or that so and so needed a better back or so and so needed better conditioning, etc.
The way this is all done it looks very shady. It's like the old backroom politics; somebody sits in an office and decides a week in advance who is going to be Mr. O, these are going to be the rankings, doesn't matter how they look, etc. What could really help bodybuilding (and certainly the competitors I would think) is transparency. Make it a real sport, with open judging like figure skating or gymnastics or diving.
And again I go back to the comment I heard from Shawn Ray: if you have the same judges year after year you get the same placings year after year.
The way it is now I know if I were competing at the O level, I sure as fuck would want to find out in advance who those judges are, and I would pay each one of them a friendly courtesy visit. And if they wanted me to peel, I probably would.
