I think Jitka Harizimova and Bonnie Priest will be battling it out for 4th and 5th Iris and Yaxeni for 1st and 2nd but I personally prefer Yaxeni's physique. Great lines and symmetry, size, lean without being overly ripped so she still looks feminine. I don't really follow intensively like I do with the male bodybuilding, but I still find it interesting and hope to watch when I get the O on pay-per-view. I think women can have muscle and still be beautiful. If anything they even have an exotic appeal because of having some muscle.

I think that is a pretty good call. Personally, I'd like to see the first and second place battle to be between Yaxeni and Jitka but something tells me politics will play a certain factor in Iris's placing.
It will certainly be interesting.

[QUOTE=bellisima]HERE ARE MINE IF ANY GUYS OUT THERE FOLLOW THE SPORT
1.Yaxeni
2.Brenda Raganot
3.Iris
4.Dayana Cadeau
5.Dena Westerfield
6.Bonny Priest
7.Jitka Harazimova
8.Colette Nelson
9.Heather Foster[/QUOTE]
Last year, with my first post here in bb.com, I accidentally predicted the winner:
[url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=6870285#post6870285[/url]
If I am still a lucky person, I would like to see Yaxeni win again. It will be a hard competition against Iris Kyle. Jitka would be a great Ms. O. (also for the public relations of the sport), however this is a competition in which experience counts a lot. I would love to see Jitka Harazimova and Colette Nelson in the first places, but do you think they have enough experience to become Ms. O.? Remember what happened with Denise Hoshor a few years back?
So, I see the following list:
1. Yaxeni Oriquen
2. Iris Kyle
3. Brenda Raganot
4. Dayana Cadeau
5. Jitka Harazimova
6. Betty Pariso
7. Colette Nelson
etc.
But I'd wish:
1. Jitka
2. Colette
3. Yaxeni
4. Brenda

[QUOTE=latrell]Lol, well sorry I didn't mean to offend, so don't take it personally. Seeing a 'buff' female just really turns me off and disgusts me and i'm sure most if not all the male population agrees with me. Big muscles just don't belong on girls.[/QUOTE]
If male bodybuilders were judged according to what turns most women on, they'd all look like Brad Pitt. Most women think make bodybuilders, especially when they have low bodyweight and high vascularity, are disgusting. Certainly, they are unnatural.
What does what you like in a woman on a personal level have to do with the sport? It baffles me why so many men insist on viewing women as sexual objects first, and as professionals second.
Personally, I am not sexually attracted to women who are as muscular as the competitors at the national level, but I'm not attracted to the men at this level either. (Actually, the degree of muscularity on the Ms. O competitors is almost exactly what I prefer on a man.)
But I view them all for the skill and dedication, for the degree of muscularity, symmetry, and definition they achieve. Men AND Women.

I like Dayana Cadeau's physique, but she's not quite there, for the top spots.
I haven't seen pre-contest pics, so I don't really know how the women are looking this year. Iris is working hard, but (unless Kim does get back on stage) I don't think anyone has the muscularity to displace Yaxeni.
As for Collette, the exceptionally bad boob job really is distracting.

[b]BIG[/b] bump to that!
It seems to be the nature of many men (and some women) to judge physique athletes on their sex appeal, NOT their achievements. Most female bodybuilders (myself included) do not post here looking for sex. We are here because this is a [i]bodybuilding[/i] forum and we are serious athletes who work very hard.
I am far from typical of most girls and I love big muscles on men and women but that is simply my sexual preference.
FWIW, any guy (or girl) who finds my muscles 'gross' is certainly not likely to be my type. Therefore, I really couldn't care less about their sexual opinions!
