Rumor has it that Phil is none to happy that T. Freeman is stealing all of the thunder.

Make of it what you will.

Phil would never say that. He is a classy competitor and would never carry any unkind words for any athletes.
TRUE STORY - Sorry I just do not believe it

troubleready, more like troublemaker

Details please.  Heath is a class act.  I can see disagreeing with placings or whatever, but he's not cocky at all, and I couldn't see him saying anything rude in front of people.

Anyway, what was his reaction when accounced 5th?  Was he disappointed, frustrated, did he smile?  (I missed the end of the webcast)  I was kinda curious as to how he reacted to loss #1

I  was there. His reaction at first was I would say a combination of surprise and a tad angry. This quickly dissipated into the classic Phil Heath smile and he accepted the trophy graciously.

Ah - Phil Heath expected to take 3rd place according to the callouts of the prejuding. Yes, of course he was surprised when he heard he was in 5th place, and a look of surprise was there, but Phil rebounded quite well.

Toney Freeman vs. Phil Heath.... hmm..... do I see a new rivalry coming up in the ranks...

At this point, there is no lightning in Bodybuilding so the Thunder is surely mute.

Melvin, Vic, Toney, and Phil will be running the show for the next couple years. Dex will probably hang in for another couple years but won't win the O or Arnold again.

i would have been shocked too. the call outs were crazy. personally i would have phil has high as second and i truely felt he could have won the whole thing.

Phil Heath or Ron Avidan, who's got the better physique?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhah...now thats one tough question

[HUGEPECS]

Damn, I saw toney an hour before the show, he looked determined and very confident. The big guy deserved 3rd place. They're saying he needs a more detailed back. Well, I hope Big Toney make necessary adjustments and kick more asses in the Future. Can't wait to see what he will look like on September 29th, 2007

Not much of a Rivarly since Toney can put way more muscle on than Phil and he is now 2 slots ahead. He needs to focus on Rebounding against Melvin Anthony before coming back at the XMAN - I would say Silvio and THE GIFT is a more likely rivarly ...

XMAN vs. VIC 

[240 is Back]

I would say Silvio and THE GIFT is a more likely rivarly ...

silvio is this year's gustavo.   short stay up top.  heath will be there for 8 years.

We will see - He has the conditioning of Dexter and better shape than Heath - but like Heath needs size unlike heath he has the frame ...... so we will see

gustavo is the only 'wrong' thing in that picture...
