Finally up and running.

 

[TrippplePPP]

It’s 8:13 and the livestream hasn’t even started lol wtf

I remember years ago being up to like 2am watching Kai and Phil on stage. I had a good night watching that year. It was a free stream on bodybuilding.com back then.

Lol omg this is the most terribly produced event I have ever seen

 

[slesh]

Holy moly Andrew Jacked

 

[frygator]

Lighting still isn’t great.

 

[spiderman405]

I paid $75 but the screen keeps freezing pausing and unpausing over and over during the mens open prejudging

 

[frygator]

3rd comparison is nuts.

1st Callout:

Ramy
Curry
Hadi
Dauda
Lunsford
Walker

 

[Marky Boy]

It’s weird how they left Ramy off the to side

 

[Pheedno]

The lighting is horrible. At least from the pictures I'm seeing.
It's a Lunsford Hadi show based on what I saw, with Nick 3rd. Ramy looked kind of soft in places and some shots his abs looked washed and distended. Maybe a overdieted, tired looking physique? He wont win with that same look tomorrow

Samson dwarfs everyone on stage. Best look is a toss up between Hadi, Derek, and Walker.
Derek might actually be the most complete and I wouldn't be mad if he won. Very surprising.
That being said, they'll still probably give it to Ramy. They may have put him off to the side because it's a foregone conclusion they're going to place him 1st.

 

[TrippplePPP]

NSP is saying Ramy is showed up on point and will win while Nic Trigilli saying he is off. By the pics Ramy's back is definitely looking like he has atrophy of the lats along with his triceps and calfs. There are not a ton of pics up yet though. I'm not the biggest Hadi fan but he keeps proving himself. I could see Hadi potentially taking this.

It’s the same shit every year and ppl act surprised.

I’m convinced the Ifbb brass are made up of retards.

I agree. I can't understand why they do the things they do its sad.

 

[Js118]

Nick 3rd, Hadi 4th

 

[Ruhlfreak55]

I usually have a solid understanding of what the judges are thinking.....not this time. I don't have a top 5. All I have a feel for is Dauda is probably 6th from the one callout where they let hunter and Andrew maybe? challenge him.

 

[Ruhlfreak55]

I think Ramy off to the side might have been obfuscation on Steve's part, but why not just pull him out of the callout if he's clearly first? You could mix the top 5 up randomly and I wouldn't be able to complain a whole lot however it fell. There's something to be said that you have to unseat the champ....but They gave women's physique to Natalya and not Sarah too. Go fish.

Lol I agree but it felt especially bad last night - the amount of times they were ready to give an award and the presenter was nowhere to be found. Just fucking crickets while the competitors gotta stand there fake smiling and posing - so fucking awkward…

 

[TrippplePPP]

What I don’t understand with the whole competition/show is why they don’t have comparisons that have nothing to do with the end result yet still appeal to the people who generate revenue. Like have Nick Walker compared to Blessing. Or put Kris’s next to Ian or people he beefed with; comparisons to generate a buzz and fun.
