Hey everybody - i just found this thread and hope im not too late to add my 2 cents. I competed in this event saturday up in portland - i'm the one with the vacuum pose - thanks for the kind words on that shot.
unfortunately the judges didnt like the pose or my shape cause come to find out i have "no symmetry, no muscularity, and no cuts"
so be it, i still rocked the house and got all the legends in attendance pretty pissed off at the results of the show. as Harold Poole told me backstage - its a whole new day of the same ol' shit. Warren Fredricks was pissed at the judging. as was Leon Brown, Sharon Breunau, Bob Gadja, Defendis, Anibal lopez and Dan Lurie himself.
The legends should have been the judges as Lurie put it.
here are my clips and the ladies overall champ Emy from the day and nite shows respectively.

as far as the show goes - there is much to talk about. on the positive the legends induction ceremony was phenomenal, each man spoke very inspirationally and it was awesome.
the negative stuff that happened had alot to do with the lack of promotion of this event. 12 competitors total isnt much promotion. the venue was huge, but there were maybe 150 people - though they were loud during my routine i must admit.
if anyone wants to dispell rumors id be glad to.
