that's coach's opn. jay was off. phil wasnt ready. dex is out of door...based on age vs vic, wolf or kai.
1. wolf - foreigner. b###hes ami wasnt around during yates' run
2. vic - record
3. kai - stripper vids and all kinds of stuff.
what makes you think an american publishing / media will take all those risk factors vs a sure thing in phil? if i ran ami...he is mr O for the next 5-6 yrs.
Didn't Yates get into BB because of his history of crime, and needing to sort his life out?
Wasn't Arnold foreign when he won the O?
Maybe fair about Kai given the unfair treatment of Rusty Jeffers in the past. But winning the Arnold also comes with many of the same shit doesn't it? If he won that he can win the O can't he?
I think Vic can still win it, since his calves were never great when everyone thought he should have won in '07, and his upper body from the front is the best going probably. Just needs to have ebough back detail to stand next to Kai, since Vic already has the size. And needs the legs obviously to be good.
Looking at Yates win in '97 his lower body really didn;t match his upper, but his insane back could be seen from every angle and made him look scary. So anything can happen basically, lets see what unfolds!
P.S. Heath seems to have gotten a wider back lat spread and could be a real threat, since it's all about the rear lat spread at the O!
