Here's what I thought about the Figure O (this was posted in a different board):
Both Gina and Amanda carried a lot of muscle at the O, which was very good. Their placements were well deserved, although Gina could have won the title without a problem. I'm suprised that Amanda was able to places the way she did with her (to me) impressive delt and lower-ab vascularity.
Jennifer was like Christine P-P, the minute I saw her pics, BOOM! Instant fan. Her look at the O was pretty good, but I didn't expect her to get that high of a debut. First callouts and getting fourth place?!?! Say what you want, but you can't get made at a rookie for giving it the old college try.
I'll admit, there was one person in particular that was kinda outta place in the top six...and that was Sonia Adcock. At the Arnold, I went, "Who the hell was that?" At the O, I went "Huh? She got thrid?" Actually on there, I was expecting Gina or V-Dub or Mo.
When Amber was announced sixth place, I scratched my head, as she was runner-up last year. That moment, I said things were gonna get interesting this year...
I like Jenny Lynn...a lot. But I have to admit, she...got....LUCKY! Her physique was good, but it wasn't as impressive as last year to me. However, Jenny had to have really screwed up to lost her title, and she didn't do that. She won't be so lucky next year, bet on it!
Like many others, I was saddened and pissed that Monica Brant was out of the top six as well as Valerie. I'm not gonna cry like a wuss due to that. Val will get her chance to shine one day. I'd wish Mo would get her chance as well.
There ya go...my take on it. As always, you can bash me now...
