Well, I do my usual checking around in forums, and siouxcountry pointed out elsewhere that Monica Brant's name is no longer on the Arnold list. I went to the Arnold Classic website to see for myself (I don't doubt his word for a second, I just like to see things for myself), and sure enough, her name is no longer there.
If she is in fact out of the Arnold, she will definitely be missed. With that in mind, I have just these simple words of advice for the newbies: you want to be a star? You want to make history? It looks like this year's Arnold is your chance to shine. DON'T BLOW IT!!!
