Jay Cutler:
Jay's conditioning was off. Not the best Jay I have seen on stage. He was big and full but not as sharp as his pictures from a few days out would have suggested. He's holding water and will not place first. I would have Jay Second or Third Place flip flopping with Dexter Jackson.

Dexter Jackson:
The biggest and hardest Dexter has ever been. Striated Glutes and great conditioning. But, since he hasn't changed much in the passed five years, there is no WOW factor. Dexter should place 2nd or 3rd.

Melvin Anthony:
Not the best of Melvin I have seen. If Melvin makes Top 5, it will be a gift. When they brought up Denis Wolf to compare him with Melvin and Ronnie, I put Denis ahead of them two.

Ronnie Coleman:
Sandow number 9 was not in the stars tonight. Ronnie improved from last year, but there was something missing. It just wasn't there as there was something off. Jay, Victor, Dexter, and Denis Wolf were faired better than Ronnie. I would say it's a fight between Melvin and Ronnie for their placing.

Victor Martinez:
The most cartoonish character up on stage. Victor has muscles rolling off his body. Vic's problem from the past was peaking too soon, but Vic and Chad hit a home run and just looked amazing. Had Denis Wolf been compared to Victor, I would have been worried, but since they didn't, Victor is the clear Winner.

Honorable Mentions are Dave Henry, the Giant Killer. What a great showing up on stage. Rockel was shorted on his appearance. If there was ever a structure to try and attain, he has it.
