I don't remember for sure but I think that the previous comment was about the Palm Beach Pro, and we had not seen routines from several of the competitors - so yeah it would not have made sense to comment.  We did not know much about Michele Mayberry, for example, then she put on a great show and is now a favorite.  Now we're talking about the Arnold, so it is likely that we have seen the vast majority of the athletes who will be there.  But that's irrelevent to the Arnold selection articles, where the results are based on athlete characteristics and past judges scores, not anyone's personal opinions.  Any comments on routines would come in the preview article, I presume.

Isaac, hope you have a great holiday weekend - wish I could be in Steamboat for Xmas like in previous years, love it there, you are lucky to be in Colorado during ski season!   

Sure. Or it could be what you said back in October when asked to make Fitness Predictions.  ;)

Steph, My friend, I can't tell you how good it is to see you. I gotta be honest with you, I thought you were dead.

Lastly, six is the incorrect number of members of the selection committee.

How many and who is part of this selection committee?

Six plus Jim Lorimer, which makes seven.
The six do not wish to have their names disclosed :-X, at least not by us.  Maybe Lift can get away with it.

I love it when I miss a quality inside joke.

Secret selection committees are, like, totally cool. 

Seriously - if they are not known, that means that they cannot be deliberately influenced by schmoozing, favors, etc. 

But if a manager like, say, Stephen, knows members of the committee, then wouldn't that potentially give him an advantage in helping his competitors to secure invites?

Just aksin'...

You had to bump this back up to the top Tre'?  :P
I really think that the only way to do it is to have a private committee, not only so they can't be influenced but also for the committee members' benefit - they could potentially be approached by a lot of people trying to get into the show, or to get others into the show.  And that could be really annoying for them.
