IMO, Honour wins, hands down. It's obvious that he took this thing seriously and his conditioning is tops here. Very impressive, and he looks best from all angles. About half way down the list of poses I was starting to look forward to what he would look like because I knew he wouldn't disappoint and he did not. Too ripped to disappoint. The side shot says alot there. You've gotta be hard to look good in a side relaxed shot as a natty. I would have liked to have seen a face with the pics though. Just seems like it should be a part of it...the winner of this show with the $2000 needs a face, IMO. Is there a possibility you could show us your face later?
Alex, good job, but I'm just as disappointed in your showing here as I am impressed with the crazy improvements you've made since last time. Just because like everyone else is saying here, you may could have taken the whole thing had you taken it more seriously, given your popularity, name recognition, etc. You DEFINITELY should have at least TRIMMED the curly leg hair, man, come on...I'm still giving you second despite that though and that should speak volumes for how impressed I was by the improvements you've made. Bonus points for lack of shit-talking going into this thing; we should have suspected that you were on a bit of a mission before even seeing these.
DaddyWaddy, you get third. But relatively speaking, you look worse in these pics than you've looked in just about any other set you've put up. So see, when it counted, you looked worse than you ever have. This is why you need STRUCTURE in your plan. And know that alot of why you're not 4th or 5th here is based strictly on your God-given structure moreso than anything you yourself can take credit for, because God also knows that your prep was nothing short of highly erratic and probably the least structured of any other competitors'. You've got a great face and a great frame, great shape with alot of great size, but nobody appreciates a slack-ass, especially standing next to these other guys that very obviously worked so very hard. You could win this show any given year but before you do you're going to have to surrender to a routine. No, the answer probably didn't lie in your simply EATING MORE so don't even start that trash...
Neoseminole gets 4th and props for the hard work he surely put in on this, as he has probably the best combination of size and cuts in the show. You're a serious trainee. I'm sorry but Honour wins it from me based on conditioning...I hold that in pretty high regard. Had you dieted down as far as him you may not have been that much bigger. Alex and Daddywaddy also had going for them more of a name for themselves around here. Marketing counts a bit here. By next year you may be on even terms with them there.
GetRowdy, you get 5th from me. You need more leg work but that isn't anything you haven't heard before. Better tan would have helped a bit, too, and just for future reference, mustaches in bodybuilding shows have always been a hard sell. You still had a very impressive showing here, however, and deserve commendation for that. You should be set up to rebound into a whole new level of size now, which you will have quite a few options of what to do with from there.
