We might not be happy with our heroes placings but the show was judged fair and that's all I ask for...
As surprising as it is, I agree, I think it was judged fairly.
Bob kept saying that all the guys came in top condition, but most of them were off, and playing the size game for some reason.
As for Branch, he came in thick has hell, DRY, and shredded, he nailed it this weekend and got rewarded for it, something that's been rare at the O stage. Dex was bigger but lacked his trademark sharpness that earned him the name "blade." I think Kai got caught up with the size too. I was very impressed with Victor's size and shape, even with a smaller left quad, they're still very impressive and he has some of the best sweeping quads on stage, he just needed to be sharper.
And with David Henry taking second, it was a very well judged Olympia, very refreshing to see.
