The Olympia stream is surprisingly good, given it is being streamed from an iPhone.

Pecker on stage called female bodybuilders commodities and quickly "corrected" himself and said competitors.  ;D

Bob Chick has the worst taste in suits. He always wears the vest and leaves his jacket open. His suits never look well tailored.
It was the first thing my wife noticed - 😁 she wanted to know why they didn’t have someone other than that douche announcing the show.
I guess Bob thinks it looks good.

-All these YEARS of experience and Bob C is still so bad. His suit and obnoxious watch are just weird. His microphone skills are terrible. He actually asked the winner of the men's board short division, "So how about tonight's judges? Do you think they did a good job?"  WTF.

-Classic division bodybuilders have already pulled their posing trunks up their ass just like the open division. I guess they know where their money come from.

-Terrible stage management. While they were awarding the Top-6 in men's board shorts they had TEN competitors on stage. WTF. Four guys just stood there and received nothing.

-I personally like the band "Disturbed" but playing "Down with the sickness" while handing out awards to mainly black guys wearing surfer pants just seemed bizarre.

-My god. Shawn Ray just adds absolutely nothing to the commentary. Nothing.

Agreed Vince. Bob's watch is the size of a powerlifting belt.

Bob's a cornball. Whole show feels cheap and slapped together.

Music selections are awful this year too.

Men's classic. Christ Chris Bumsteds head is bigger than all four other competitors combined.

Those large pizza sized medals are stupid. Just stupid.

How the fuck did Chris Bumstead win that division ?

Not sure but the mustache was a bad idea.  Some people can pull it off while others look like they are going to the Blue Oyster for the salad bar

Not bad judging, perhaps you could've switched Hadi and Bonac, but no real nasty calls in 1 - 5.

The stream has been pretty high quality too, much better than previous.

Bonac regressed.  Legs got smaller and mid section was flat out ugly.  I had him 4th behind Hadi, Curry & Dexter.

At least Bonac doesn't have to pay 40% of his winnings to a coach ;D

-My god. Shawn Ray just adds absolutely nothing to the commentary. Nothing.

All good observations. The 10 with 6 faux pas is unforgivable. Imagine standing there trying not to look like a total loser while others get their winner trophies. Humiliating.

Perhaps Bob Cicherillo can't be bothered to update his MC wardrobe or he's stuck in the 80's. He is a hefty fellow....not exactly the best body-type for looking good in clothes. But, the Olympia isn't really about the clothes....more about the lack thereof.

From a stereotypical viewpoint, black men wearing board shorts is something of an oxymoron. Rumor has it, black people aren't great swimmers. (racist comments noted)

I predict the classic division will become ripped bodybuilders in thongs within 3 years. If the point is to show off their physiques, then less is always going to be more. No matter how you package it, bodybuilding will not become a mainstream sport. Not unless another Arnold comes along, marries up and becomes both a movie star and a politician. My guess is that he is a one-off

I think Patrick Moore could have been 6th and nobody would have complained.

Also, Michael Lockett could/should have been top 10. 

Juan Morel was terrible.  Has been getting worse year after year.

Unless, like me, you only wear one watch. My watch and my wedding-band stay put.
