Just got a text from an Olympia judge, who just relayed the final results and audience reaction to me:
6. Victor Martinez - not much booing, but plenty of boos when Rockel didn't make top 6.
5. Branch Warren - TONS of BOOS in the house. VERY LOUD.
4. Kai Greene - Lots of BOOS again, mostly from schmoes who jerked off to his posing routine in their seats. Kai graciously waves to his fans.
3. Phil Heath - A little bit of a shock on Phil's face. He clearly thought he was top two.
Dexter and Cutler holding hands like two muscled bears on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
AMI nails top three...what a surprise...
And in second place, take the check for $100,000 and a 'Sorry Chump' card to...
2. Dexter Jackson - Dexter is VERY upset. He turns his back on the crowd as he melts down quietly. Then turns around and shakes Jay's hand.
And the winner of the 2009 Mr. Olympia, as predicted by everyone who knew the final results months ago but couldn't keep a secret is...
1. Jay Cutler - Jay waves to his fans. He's done what's never been done before...kissed more ass in his 10th year as a Pro than he did as a Rookie.
Congrats Jay!
