Not Mr. O, but I have been to a few.... the prejudging absolutely sucks. Don't get me wrong, you can go to it and pretty much know who is going to win without having to sit through the faggotry of the night show.
And not knocking the thong warriors on stage... but it's the people in the audience that are fucktwits to have to be in the company of. There seems to be a mandatory percentage of audience members who show up (perma bulkers whose off season never ends) with fucking coolers big enough to move a dead body in.... sitting there ever two hours pulling out chicken and rice to eat and/or mixing protein shakes. I'm sitting there thinking 'if your fat ass did this for three months instead of a few hours once a year, you might look like a bodybuilder instead of a bodyblobber." Or the retards that come there with every inch of their body from the hairline down, plucked/waxed/and pro tan stained.... not even competing.
This, ahem... "sport" truly attracts some of the most delusional, mentally twisted people of all races/religions/cultures.
