This years Olympia will be the most exciting show in nearly a decade...

[Big Chiro Flex]

You could say that about the 212 Class alone, nevermind the Open Class. When was the last show that compared?

[240 is Back]

Right now it does.  It often does before.

On the day of the show, Jay will look surprisingly good but weak from back.
Phil will look a little better than last year.
kai will look a little better than last year but a little older.
Ramy will look incredible at times, but weaknesses will show at times.

Phil 1, Jay 2, kai 3, Ramy 4, then evreyone else.

it's a fun discussion but on game day, it usually works this way.  Alternate 3-4 maybe.  Bring jay down 2 spots if he gets flu and comes in weak, but he can peak, he'll be up there.  Beating Phil, however, probably not gonna happen.

I believe there is great value in over analyzing these athletes. Surely the judges will read our posts and be subconsciously influenced by what we write.

one of the most difficult Olympia to judge.both 212 and open are staked up and nearly 8 to 10 guys in both categories fighting for spot in top 5.IFBB judging penal are sucks.this show will expose their weaknesses and flaws in judging system.hope they ready to take the crap after wards becuse this is going to be the most fucked up Olympia judging wise.

Yes very sexciting!

[Ronnie Rep]

Haven't seen pics of Brandon Curry yet! I am calling for upset of the century! Brandon Curry will triumph and shock the Bodybuilding world and bring back the look we all miss!

whats your take this year big guy

bearing in mind that the endorsement of the legendary big cyp is bound to influence the judges

[njflex]

What should happen (if all the top contenders came in with good conditioning and didn't fuck up last minute) I think will be:

1. Kai   2. Phil   3. Jay   4. Ramy   5. (anyone's game).

What will happen, because physique displayed is only about 70% of the judging process lol:

1. Jay  2. Phil   3. Ramy  4. Kai    5. dj181 (qualified last minute on bj points alone)

What's your top 5 bigmc?

[nzmusclemonster]

Fact - at the 2010 Mr Olympia I fell asleep for over an hour.

Bodybuilding is not exciting.

Hope this helps.

I think jay will come in huge and sliced

I think phil will be on the money

kai will be huge and sliced but will look a bit weird as he always does

I think ramy will be flat and his gyno will be very pronounced

I think roden wll look phenomenal

I see it like this

1. phil

2. jay

3. roden

4. kai

5. ramy

[inside you]

1. Jay

2. Phil

3. Kai

4. Dex

5. Branch

6. Ramy

Decent prediction, I got kai 2. Jay 3. dj181 won't make the top 6.

[bigmc]

unless he can convince the judges that his criteria where size and conditioning are replaced by the opinions of people that he has pmd his pics too

he could take the whole show under those circumstances

[Powerlift66]

Dickerson could have won it on elbow points alone.
Looks like he's jabbing Zane in the gut with those protruberances...

Aw shit, you probably just jinxed this year's show by bringing up the 1980 judging disaster...

I see similarities in "breaking out" with "Kai and Badell" and "Ramy and Wolf/Gunter".  

Phil will win the show again.  Not sayin the deal is done, but if he comes in like the last two years it's over.  

Will be a battle to fill 2nd through 5th with Kai, Jay, Rhoden and Branch IMHO.
 
Big Ramy is awesome, but feel like another Gunter and Wolf.  Certainly not bad company, but they never quite "got there".  He'll have a breakout year this year or next.

For me the one to watch is Jay.  We're talkin about a 4-time Mr Olympia winner.....4 times!!  And he's bein written off because of his age?  He's been virtually injury free his entire career, looks fantastic and has "been there, done that".   Ronnie and Yates stopped because of injury and nerve damage and all that mess....Jay got none of that.  "Jay isn't training hard!"  LOL!!  Nonsense.  For every 6 minute workout video we get there are 40 we don't see.  It's like people that would see me once or twice a week back in the day and would say, "How do you stay in shape eating this crap food?"  And I'd respond, "because the only time I eat this crap is when I'm with you and that's 1 time a week.....you don't see my other 50 meals that are nothing like this LOL!"  

[MB]

Judging won't be that difficult because several guys will be off, it happens every year.  What will be unusual is seeing normal top six guys finish several places back.  

[Ronnie Rep]

1.Phil
2.Kai
3.Jay
4.Ramy
Jay and Ramy might get switched but I doubt it, 5 thru 10 will be a lot harder to predict accurately! Rhoden and Dex should 5 and 6!

[Man of Steel]

I know everyone is hot for Ramy right now and the dude is incredible, but personally I don't see him in the top 6 this year....top 10 I can see.
