My comments throughout the year were consistant, right up to our Olympia predictions. If Jay were to come in BETTER than last year, that NO ONE would be able to touch him. That said, I said that if he wasn't, that Phil would have made enough improvements that he would win his first Sandow. While I dint believe Jay was better or equal to last years performance, the judges thought it was enough to hold off Heath and co. I personally thought Phil won.
Just because someone won, and lost...doesn't mean someone got "screwed", got "shafted", politics, etc....what it means sometimes, is that by a preponderance of the scoring...that someone ended up on top because they had a better score. That's why they judge the show.
As for company affiliations...I think this finally puts to rest the bullshit out there...Jay is a friend of mine...has been for years. Where he places has no bearing on that friendship. I dont claim to be on "Team Cutler", or Team Heath", or any other team for that matter. I just call it as I see it, or predict it based on many factors.
maybe it wasnt even a conscious thing..........but you gotta admit its kinda funny that you would have such unwavering faith (and i remember this cause i listened to a bunch of old PBW shows the past month or two) that you would have such faith in jay when his career was at its lowest point
but all of a sudden are picking him to lose after his most impressive showing.......hey, maybe you just like an underdog
and the whole thing you kept rehashing about jay needing to be better this year, then he was last year........was kinda another way to say that he wouldnt be winning
because you know, i know, everyone knows that there was an extremely small chance that jay would be able to bring something better this year, then he did last year
even the greats., ronnie, dorian, flex......have one or two special shows in them, when everything comes together and they bring a package that is mindblowing
last year was one of those years for jay, although he came pretty close during the finals on saturday
i can never know what you really think........but like i said, you have to acknowledge how someone else would find it weird that you would have him winning at his lowest point, and losing at his highest
