Just don't understand how it can be that abnormally large vs the surrounding bodyparts. 

I made a point about it in regards to Amber about 2 years ago and got scolded for it.

Bodysport.com has show coverage via their blog under the "Contests" section.
Don't know how far out the placings go though...
IFBB normally releases score sheet at host hotel, but was not available this show.  They will have it up on IFBB.com Professional Division - Results section soon.

I will have full Fitness/Figure/Guest Posing galleries up early this week...

Absolutely! 

However, as a little present to my wife for her great season, we are spending a few days in Boca Raton Florida, soooo I'm having a hard time motivating myself to finish off all the photo processing and sorting. 

I promise to have them out before Tuesday...  ;)

Just wanted to say CONGRATS!!! to my great friend, Christine Wan, for cracking the top five!  What made it even more sweet was that she did it at a show close to home, and her husband and adorable daughter were there to witness it.   Plus, due to the fact the promoter extended prize money out to fifth place, she picked up some cash too!  Congrats again...you deserved it!

Gee, thanks for making me stick my foot in my mouth! 

I was a huge Amber fan back in the day, so yeah, chances are good that I played noble knight if anyone attacked her back then.

Thanks Mavis! It was nice to not have to pack and fly for a show. I would have loved to have gone on to Cheesecake Factory and Blue Martini afterwards, but it was WAY past my daughter's bedtime and we had a neighbor's 3-year old b-day party to attend the next morning (cake & pizza!).

Congrats to everyone who competed. While it was great to close out the year with a top five placing, I was also a little bit saddened to know that it will be that last time sharing the stage with two of my closest friends, Mavis and Tara, who are both retiring their suits and heels. And Amber also, who turned pro with me in 2003 in NY. It's been a fun ride.

Now, I'm off to the grocery store....one of my favorite post-competition things to do. I find myself wandering aimlessly up and down every aisle a few times, throwing weird food items that I normally would not eat into my cart, then changing my mind and putting them back on the shelf......psycho.

Anyone have any comments on the judging of the figure show? Anyone else notice inconsistencies between the npc judging and ifbb judging when it comes to figure?

NPC and IFBB have physiques that are at totally different levels, so yes they are judged differently.
That's not what this post is about though...I suggest you start a separate discusssion.

Also, were you there at the show?  Did YOU notice any differences? 

That's one thing that bothers me about these forums, someone always want to say something about the way a show was judged, but wants someone else to make comment on it first....if YOU'VE got an opinion or viewpoint....share it....don't ask someone else to point something out then jump on the bandwagon!

What an amazing show! I am just on cloud nine so totally excited to qualify for next years O - it has been a long, hard, crazy year and I would not have changed a bit of it. Seems like everyone came into the show at personal best!

I have to say how much fun I had with the all girls backstage and sharing wine & chocolate cake with Lori, Angie & Sandra. And yes, I did lick the plate.... it was CHOCOLATE CAKE...  I am sure photos will follow soon

Issac & sunbabe - thanks for noticing the changes I have made. I feel like I am finally getting close on my physique and LOVE performing my routines!

So, now what are we going to do with a few months off????

Julie : )

Val's routine was a bit anti-clamatic. It was interesting but didn't really flow as well as it could have. My personal favorite were the mountain climbers.

It wasn't completely set to flow with the music (that comes in version 2.0), but to call it anti-climactic...brother, where were you sittin'?? 

It wasn't gaudy, it wasn't over-the-top...it was just the purest form of athletic female beauty. 

I think we need to send you back to school for another course in art appreciation, my friend.

In response to Ricks post, yes I was at the show. I watched the prejudging. Dont assume I am some momo who doesnt have a clue. I had a former client who just won her pro card at the USA's compete in this show so I know what I am talking about. It is just my opinion and simply that but I think it is sad to see girls who are "too muscular" get knocked down while another girl is up there with cellulite on her ass. It is ruining the integrity of the sport. If the judges want figure to be a beauty contest hold it in conjuction with Donald Trumps Miss USA pageant. I have all the respect and credit for each and every competitor and they all looked great. My beef isnt with the competitors its with the judging. Simply stated the judging standards are too grey
