Guys like most of you, I prefer Cedric to win, BUT, to be honest and not biased, he is off by today's standards.
Sure I could say "fuk no, this is not fair, this and that suck, are not as good" etc, but like we know, conditioning is very important. Ced's shape and lines are by far the best in the bb, at least imo. He is what bodybuilding/ Mr Olympia should look like. But unfortunately until he will bring Dex's condition for example, he will not win.
With that said, I think the judges will go with Dex for 1st, Toney vs Ben for the 2nd-3rd place, Ced vs JOJ for 4th-5th, and Hide 6th. In my opinion Fouad was overlooked. There is no way Fred Smalls is better than him.

Problem is he's also about 2-3 weeks out, color isn't going to fix that. He just doesn't seem to get shredded and this is the same package we've seen before from him (conditioning wise). The other guys, Tony included, are in much better shape. Ced has to get his conditioning down first at this point, add a little back thickness, and he'll do some damage.
Conditioning>Size>Everything else is how the judging goes.Welcome to thunder dome, bitch.

Has anyone actually came in "on"? Cedric looks like he's at a guest posing, looks to be some fat on his stomach as well as water
Also Dexter looks to have oiled the absolute fuk out of his biceps and his gut is sticking out pretty badly too..still the clear winner by far as well based on these pics..need to see him next to Ced though.

posted these in the big arnold thread but realize many people might not see them so here's some from team-andro, unfortunate seating position though but different angle means different perspective!
edit: many more pictures here

As I predicted, good work tkDd. Most valuable member to join us in a long time!
Dex looks so happy up there. Clear winner.
D Charles looked very good for his age.
Nunn always impressive, but never gets good placings.
Getting tired at looking at the top heavy JOJ.
Ced, maybe off tonight, but if that isn't a future Mr Olympia then I don't know! Awesome, esp. from the back!

A shame because Ced clearly has the development symmetry and shape to win this show. He's probably not as off as it seems (since I suspect that these photos really suck) considering he does have some glute separation but his color is too light and he looks like 2-3weeks out not show day dry. Hopefully this will be a lesson for him in regards to his future preps.
Ben has clearly improved his chest but I also think part of the reason he looks better is because he hit is peak perfectly. I doubt he's ever going to be able to improve his arms enough but his lats really don't have that terrible of shape and if he brought it up to match his legs I could see him being a constant top 3 threat.
I'm a fan of freeman and at his age he's really still looking great but his hams are noticeably smaller and personally I think Ced despite being off should be infront of him.
