lmao what?
No. Wolf should have won but Phil Heath is being promoted as the "acceptable" face of bodybuilding so he was always going to win. I suppose this is the best result for the industry but that certainly doesn't make it fair.
Looks like that is the way it will go
We've watched 50% of what counts guys, we've still got the main show to go
From what I saw the top 6 in PREJUDGING should be:
1. Phil (this is what DID happen so i won't argue with it)
2. Wolf/Kai
3. Kai/Wolf
4. Jay
5. Dexter
6. Rhoden
Branch was better than expected and will probably place 8-10
That's based purely on prejudging
Phil is definitely beating Kai overall, Kai however does win some of the poses vs Phil.
Kill yourself..
Essa is getting top 7
is wolf really in that good of a shape right now to possibly placed that high? I thought he looked great the past few Olympias but was placed low.
that being said, i do think that it'll come down to Phil and Kai.
People saying Kai needs to NOT play the mass game?
I disagree I think that's exactly what Kai should, and needs to do.
Cutler in 8th place suits my fancy.

100% AGREE, IT WORKS WELL and he has the frame for it (moreso that Heath) this is the game Kai needs to play.
I noticed something during the pre judging with Kai and Phil. Kai started to get into better condition as time went on and Phil started to go flat, I wonder if when they were doing the comparison's again they told Phil to step away to protect him. Phil's stomach also was pretty distended and not in as good shape as I've seen it in, Kai did come in soft at the start though, and that was his flaw although at the end he was in better condition. I think Wolf came in and stayed in the best condition to be honest. He really suprised me and I'm happy to see it. Rhoden was no suprise, I knew he'd come and bring it. Dexter is always right there. The hype of Ramy should still be strong, in a few years, he should be able to take the whole thing. Sad to See Toney The "X-man" Freeman start to waiver.
Prejudging.
1.Phil
2. Kai/Wolf
3.Wolf/Kai
4.Rhoden
5. Dexter.
Overall, I think tomorrow will tell a different story,
I think Kai might bring it a little stronger, if Phil comes out like he was ending yesterday, we might have a possibility of upset, if Wolf stay's the same, I think he may even have a chance. This is a pipe dream, though of a bias Kai Greene and Dennis Wolf fan.
I think you nailed top 6. From there on it's just too hard to tell. It seems like almost everyone improved. Very tough line-up this year.

Everyone after Curry either ties for 16th or is listed DNP (Did not place). DQ (Disqualified) only applies if you skip the finals, withdraw, or violate rules.

He looks fantastic. physique is in the top 2 on the stage imo. he really showed up
I woke up really late, what 's going on?
looks about right imo
Damn, just 8, 9 and 10 were switched....
Best Mr. O I've ever seen!!!
This was one of the best Olympias ever. Just sad Kai lost...
again...
Yeah, - though I'd personally switch around Rodan and Wolf, and Beyeke and Branch, and I'm disappointed Kai didn't win - but I can't disagree with the judges picking Phil.
