Can't be the right list! No Amanda Savell on it. She placed 2nd last year at the Figure show and with Lado out, should win the contest.

I thought I'd wait until confirmation was made on arnoldselections.com and then base my predictions on what the charts and graphs say.  ;D

I will be making my predictions, doing previews and interviews with the ladies going into the show.

As I mentioned on http://www.hardbody.com/news/2007/12/18/on-the-record-arnold-classic-2008/  a few days ago there would be some surprises. Despite many thinking Mo was retired, not the case. There are a few fresh faces that are great additions to the line-up.

Does this mean you're postponing the reality show and attending the Arnold?

I think Amanda said in a bb.com interview that she was waiting until the Olympia next year even though she was 2nd last year. Is Monica actually committed to doing the show or is she just invited? I would love to see her finally get a win before she retires but what else can she possibly do to improve her body? Maybe go back to blonde?  ???

Yes, Mo applied to be in the show and committed to doing the show, if she was accepted. Now that she is, fans will see her on stage once again.

Val is getting a great deal of exposure on the American Gladiator commercials - this is great for Val and for all figure competitors. It will bring more attention to IFBB figure and this show in particular.

Congratulations to everone selected for the Arnold fitness/figure and Bodybuilding. And for all of you who dieting through the holidays. Kudos to you!!!! Intense to say the least.  I saw the video of the Olympia and Oksana's routine was breathtaking. I just loved it, and Julie's routine was very technical it is going to be a great show for sure.  Best wishes to all of you training and dieting right now. Now back to my french fries.....just kidding.  :P

Thank you Nancy, Lori and of course my hubby, Rick!!!!  I am SOOOO excited to be competing in Columbus.  It has been a long time since I competed at a show I can drive to and bring everyone I know  ;D  I am also working on an incredible new routine that is top secret.  I guarantee it will be more difficult than anything I have attempted in the past.  Can't wait to do it for the first time at the Arnold!

Congratulations to all of the women that will grace the stage.  This is truly an honor.  9 weeks and counting!

I'm the one that's lost, mbell...Empty, I should say. All my life I wanted the Amanda to win the Arnold. It was like a quest, you know? Something burning inside.  And I feel like, I don't know, like my pilot light went out...What do we do now?

It's got everything. Sex. Politics. Everything but one key ingredient. Denny Crane. I'm in.
