Not meeting their anticipated potential?

[JustaFan]

I see this thread has degenerated into bangings and sexual exploits... get back on track boys!  that goes for you too Denny

All of a sudden Dina is in love again, and she is a stick in the mud...........

Are we going to have to wait till next year when you get divorced again for you to lighten up ?

[Dina]

JustaWanker

Not sure when I turned into gloom and doom.. even though according to you I am not personable..lol so lets keep it that way.

If you want to talk about bangings and another lewd things  go to another board.. there is  Sex Board.. this one is for discussing the competitions. You had some great contributions, though I dont think I ever competed in a show that only had ten people...lol  However I will let you get away with that.

As for discussing personal matters regarding me getting divorced, that is uncalled for. Making fun of someones personal misfortunes is uncalled for and if you continue in that vein regarding me or anyone else I promise to use the magical delete button.

I have had the in love tag under my name for well over a year, and have been divorced for well over that... sorry to break it to you... not married again .. cant be divorced again

cheerio....

schools out.. back to play boys

You are correct, and I apologize.  I actually was really kidding and thought with your sense of humor, you would have laughed it off.  But I am sorry I offended you. 


I will stick to just my observations on the girls physiques.....

Maybe more of the women would stick around if they were given incentive to do so.

Here are my top picks of those not meeting their anticipated potential.

1.   The IFBB for not realizing it’s disrespectful, unequal treatment of women in the industry
      is  a “penny wise, pound foolish” way to operate.   
2.   Undermining any hope that the perception of the judging could be fair.
3.   Justawanker for getting stuck in the spandex 80’s. Maybe if you had spent more time   
      worrying about how to work the camera instead of how to work the women you might
      have a decent portfolio and websites to boot.

Scooby, maybe the words in your prentices should not be (gone, poof), but (got smart, “cha ching” not wasting my money or time now).

[Dina]

leave it to MB to come here and  tell us how she really feels...  I miss you  very much

[Lift Studios]

Ken is either not putting out or really giving Malibu some loven, I can't tell which.

[Dina]

And Lastly, I'm sorry but Elaine Goodlad?
Disappointment ain't never looked so GOOD!!!!!!!

Agreed... Elaine should not be on that list...   If only others could have her poise and grace and beauty.. plus she did  well in the Pro Ranks and has tons of magazine coverage and knew there was more to life than being a hamster on the  contest treadmill

[mbell]

Speak on it Barbie, I miss you too!

Good post Dina,  I mean Malibu..... ( Sense of Humor )

MB, what did you mean by that, I am not a photographer.......

Although I have competed a lot since turning pro, I can easilly understand why people would not.  The IFBB is a COMPLETELY different world than the NPC.  In order to participate in the IFBB (I use the word "participate" because you are no longer really "competing"), you have to swallow the fact that your hard work and talent will not necessarilly take you to the top.  Maybe the girls on these lists figured this out before experiencing the dissapointment first hand.  Those of us who choose to compete must do so with our own personal goals in mind-in my case competing gets my butt in shape each spring and I love to perform the routines.  The current "system" forces me to no longer worry about placing.
I hope these girls on your list are healthy and happy with whatever they are doing, since many active IFBB competitors are not...
FYI....I competed with Bridget Murray twice the first season we were pros and she is competing at the next three shows this season so she needs to be knocked off the list.  I can replace her since I am pregnant but look for me next year....

Tied for 16th and that's not good publicity.

She's on the list because she's at the bottom with you. You're right, sorry, we forgot you on the list but you do belong.

"current system"? You democrats always complaining about something.

Denny Crane!

Haven't been on the boards in a really long time...thanks for reminding me why.  You are pathetic, but then again so is my responding to you   I will be sure to avoid posting anything that could possibly contradict your professional and very important opinion in the future.  My most sincere apologies...

[Lift Studios]

Katie congrats on being preggo. There is something in the pro water later, lots of pregnancies this year.

Ignore the hatahs, they always come out and have something to say.

All the best.

Two pros with significant internet presence who have been overrated, disappointing busts.

Dina was always overrated in both looks and physique. If she has ways of making $20K a month, then more power to her. She would be an educated fool to waste time competing.

Jaime Franklin was hardly overrated based on her placings. Having a baby is a rather normal reason to "disappear" from the competition scene. She'll probably be back...

[sassyj]

Benny I am sure all of  these ladies feel horrible that they have  disappointed you. Some of the girls mentioned here are first year pro's and  have only competed in 1 or 2 shows....so how does that make them a bust?

[brittanyt]

There's many reason why many of us compete and end competing. Part of the reason why i personally stopped competing was for the gossiping nonsense like this. Unless you have your pro card or know what its like to compete you have absolutely no right to call myself or any other listed person on this thread a disappointment. Just to name a few that I know personally. Lisa Schaerer-Maloy- is a mother now, she has a family and a life. Some people like to and can manage competing when they have a family but others have different priorities. She trains people and continues to work and support the industry. Each of these girls are incredibly grounded and smart and don’t and haven’t competed for their self esteem they have competed for their personal goals and businesses. Not everyone in this industry wants to look like the top 5 girls. As we all know, the look of a physique is a personal opinion. The costs of competing as a pro cannot be maintained by many esp. if one has a family and other financial obligations. Elaine Goodlad is another. She accomplished HER goals. Sorry they did not match up to your expectations. She has won a pro title, place high in many. Grace numerous pages of magazines and has still maintained incredible beauty. Cory Matthews another. Hate to break it to you. Last time I talked to her was at a Max Muscle convention where she just started to prep for some fall shows while embarking on a business endeavor of opening her own max muscle store. Do you call this a disappointment??? Alexis Ellis. Well David already covered her but i'll still say my 2 cents. She is one of the most hardworking gracious people I have ever met. Always willing to help others, runs a VERY successful business with David and is now going to school. As for myself. Turing pro was never about winning contests for me from day one when I was an amateur. I love the challenge of the training and preparation for show day. My main goal was to create a name and a business for myself to carry me on to much bigger and better things. I accomplished my goals once again sorry they did not live up to yours. I ran a successful total image consulting business with personal training, image consulting show prep ect. In my free time I worked with various charities, gave free seminars to high school children and shelters, as well as produced charity events to help launch my after school physical education programs. I now work over 50 hour work weeks as my father has Parkinson’s and I have taken over his business. That is why I am not competing anymore. If you would like me explain any other of your IFBB "disappointments" feel free to ask. Who said none of these girls wont step on stage when the time is right again. Last time I checked I am only 22
