Gustavo is the 3rd best BBer on the planet without a doubt … if the challenge round was a part of the show then it was … and there is nothing any BBer can do about it … every1 of them should have made the best of it and as we saw Gustavo did it 2 years in a row (don’t hate THE GAME if u r a bad player)
As for over hyped or over rated … well … it would have been true if he didn’t prove himself this year … but he did and he proved and backed up his last years 3rd place.
He challenged Ronnie in the press conference … so what … as u all heard Cormier said the press conference is all about that … and challenging Ronnie showed that he aint scared of nobody … and maybe that is the reason he won the Challenge round.
Do I really thing he will be Mr. O?? u tell me y not … Jay is going to retire very soon as he said (even if not we all know y he was not compared with Gustavo this year) and Victor … c’mon I think we had enough of Victor’s potential … we need to see him dial in on the mark and not as we have seen him the past shows … judging is not upon potential but upon what u present on stage.
arrogant, cocky and selfish … r u kiddin me … I know him and talked to him several times over the phone … and a humbler person you couldn’t meet … he might look Cocky but he is very respectable and a true gentleman and once u get to know him u will know that he is not as u thought.
He told Lonnie Teper to get the check ready for him … well that is self confidence and a lot of the BBers do that and make a lot of statements before they even prepare for a show or even c the other competitors … he did it when every thing was almost over and it was clear he was the winner.
What happened in the Arnold was that he tried something new and didn’t work well with him so don’t expect to see the same Gustavo this time … and I think anything less the 2nd place will be an upset for Gustavo … depending on how sharp Dex turns out … Gustavo has a great chance of winning the 100G and the Hummer.
3rd best BBer on the planet? In exactly which ranking? Never anywhere else, but Gustavo's fan club ranking list. Dorks like you should understand, that we all have eyes, but only few of us are fans of Gustavo, so most of us has objective point of view about him. You clearly hasn't, you are little fan boy, with posters of him on your wall. If we take random bunch of pro BB:ers, which one he can really win:
1.Phil Heath ?
2.Kai Greene ?
3.Dennis Wolf ?
4.Shawn Rhoden ?
5.Dexter Jackson ?
6.Roelly Winklaar ?
None of them. In fact, here is IFBB pro ranking at November 2013:
1. Phil Heath
2. Kai Green
3. Shawn Rhoden
4. Dexter Jackson
5. Branch Warren
6. Jay Cutler
7. Dennis Wolf etc...
and finally...
54. Gustavo Badell
Quite long way to be 3rd best ?
