OVERALL this is a good safeguard and has been done for years at all major shows even NPC

Without these 'safeguards', Vic would have won.
Are these safeguards nothing more than a tool designed to ensure the few "independent" judges - coincidentally Dorian and a former Mr USA - have their *honest* votes discounted?

It is done at all NPC shows as well , at the state the high and low score are dropped with 7 judges, bigger shows have the 2 high and low scores dropped. It is to help get a better avg and concensus.
It is basic principle in statitstics to help insure a better more meaningful avg or mean score.
I think Bob Chic did a good job of explaining this.
Of course , conspricay theories are more fun, so why listen to drab, dull reasons ::)

Dan S is a decent anouncer, but in my opinion, Bob Chic has the voice tone, BB passions and insights to make the show interesting and upbeat. The Freeman interview was the highlight of the show, the J Stubbs interview seemed to drag, but it was interesting to hear how Stubbs can still squat fairly heavy with replaced knees? It is refreshing to hear he has a real career as pilot. I would have liked to hear some more insights on how he trains his incredible back!
It was the first time I sat down and heard the show live and really enjoyed it.
Kinda felt like a kid again, when I saw my first muscle magazine.
I am a musclehad what can I say.
Oh I hope the S Cal folks don't get torched with this recent fire.

I think Dexter and Wold looked in the best condition, hard to say who should have won.
I wonder if Titus will enter Mr Get BIG due his current problems with being able to travel to shows. ;)
