The contest is between Darrem Charles and Johnnie Jackson, with Darrem Charles getting the edge over Johnnie. David Henry and Melvin Anthony are battling for 3rd and 4th respectively. Chris Cormier and Quincy Taylor are going for 5th and 6th, although the judges might award Chris 4th tomorrow evening, as they want to see Chris qualify for the Olympia but it looks like he isn’t going to. David Henry surprised everyone here, and will take Chris’ place for the Olympia.

Darrem looks great, you will see the pictures soon, but he is even better than he was at the Montreal show. Johnnie is also better, and these two, by the Olympia, be in the best shape we have seen them.  David Henry is bigger than he ever was, and also will be in the best shape come Olympia contest time. Melvin is not as good as he should be, but in two weeks, will be better than anyone here on stage.  Chris Cormier looks good, but not enough to beat these other guys. Too bad.

[Matt C]

Too bad about Cormier, but I suspect he brought it on himself once again with his partying.

[Shraded]

I know, I kept hearing all this sympathy pass ish for CC in thios show, yet when to the comparison pics didn't see him til page 4 

[Special Ed]

Looks like Craig Richardson got jacked again. He looks the best from the front and as good as anyone from the back. All the way on the right in the above photos.

[Shraded]

Richardson's training partner is quite the character....

Palumbo also said Hollywood Ferguson would win the overall at USAs. 

palumbo is the ripped glutes lover

Agreed. He gets screwed every time.

[Mr Gethin]

Looks like Craig Richardson got jacked again. He looks the best from the front and as good as anyone from the back. All the way on the right in the above photos.

My thoughts also. He has lacked condition in the past (on most occasions) but still gets jacked of a half decent placing. He should finish a little higher than where we are predicting........I hope.

Hate agreeing with you but I was thinking the same thing.  He could win the show if he was tighter, hope he gets an invite to the O.  With 2 more wks he could come in amazing and probably make a top ten.

He also needs to hit the pose earlier, in about 1/2 the poses eveyone else is the pose and he's still getting into it.  He needs to give the judges as much time to judge his physique and for the cameras to capture it.

[swilkins1984]

Melvin may not be the driest but that structure is amazing. Darrem looks incredible from the front despite the narrow quads but from the back looks small. Dave Henry what can you say bad about the guy? Added a few pounds and he is really close to that diced Ironman conditioning. Cormier is holding less water than last week but that torn tricep is hard to ignore. Makes Ronnie's tricep look like Gustavo's. Johnnie is on the money and I can't say anthing bad about him either.

Darrem
Johnnie (could flip with Darrem)
Melvin (If judges look for the balanced physique the Melvin is #1)
David
QT
Craig

[The Coach]

I haven't seen pics yet, but IMO, Henry is the only BBer that I have seen with true hard/ripped conditioning. If he comes in like he usually does (my reference being the 2005 Ironman) he'll take the show, barring the idiot judges actually judge on the total package and not just on size and in Henry's case....stature!

[The Coach]

david henry is monster size up

His conditioning is waay off compared to his usual, he looks like he's falling for the size game....too bad for him!

[bigbiceps]

David Henry has small arms.  Must suck to do a back double biceps and not be able to see the biceps.  Small arms and short.  Not my pick.

FLEXonline is calling it:
1. Johnnie Jackson
2. Darrem Charles
3. Melvin Anthony
4. David Henry
5. Fouad Abiad

MD is calling it:
1. Melvin Anthony
2. Johnnie Jackson
3. David Henry
4. Darrem Charles
5. Craig Richardson

Who will prevail in the bodybuilding predictions? I'm going with Flexonline to be more accurate in the end. No way is Darrem 4th.
