6. Tony Freeman

(As a side note, I think David Henry should rightfully make the top 6, based on an almost flawless, if undersized, physique. But these picks reflect the reality that the judges just won't do that. Also, if I had to pick the absolute best bodybuilder as far as total package on stage tonight, it would be Victor. The guy was really on tonight, and it was nice to see -- he always had the potential, now he's lived up to it and dialed it in condition-wise. If there was no history, and all these guys were stepping in front of the judges for the first time, no name recognition, I think Victor would be crowned Mr. O tomorrow night.)
