IMO she would have beat the guys that competed as well.

I was disappointed they didn't even mention she was an IFBB Pro.

Tell me why.

As I saw it, you had, what, FOUR current or former IFBB pros on the screen at one time in the Gauntlet event - Siene, Beth Horn, Tanji, and Val - that has to be the first time we've seen that on network TV since the early 80s (NBC) and definitely the first time we've seen it in prime time. 

That's huge!

It's huge but too bad no one knows they are IFBB pros or what that means outside of our little world.

That's a good point Issac. I dont think most of the mainstream audience would know what it meant if someone said they were an IFBB Pro.

Soon Main Stream America will know who we are. This is just one little Stepping Stone. Mark my Words. If T.V. Executives realize they can make Money off of how these women look. Look Out America. Always!!!! Follow the MONEY!!!!

I'd like to hear from the competitors and gladiators to see if they were told not to say anything about their affiliation?  I find it odd as Julie getting her pro card in the IFBB was a BIG deal to her and she did everything besides shout from a mountaintop when she earned it.  Funny how with none of them it's been mentioned....AT ALL!
