So - it is 12pm in Vegas and I just recovered from a long day of

- Going to the Expo
- Watching prejudging for fitness and figure
- Hanging out with the bb.com crew and the live webcast
- Attending the Fitness Show
- Eating afterwards…

And coming home at 2am!

And now! For the results! As predicted, Adela Garcia won. She performed her salsa routine (which she also performed for the Arnold) - she looked great, she performed well - and she was the natural winner from the beginning.

Other great moments:

- Kim Klein, (this year’s Arnold winner) looked beautiful. She had great transitions, an awesome physique and an “all American girl” look to her. She placed 2nd.

- I LOOOOVVVVEEEDD Jen Hendershot’s routine!! It was AWESOME.  She had a great “Britney” routine where she had 3 wigs! She came out drunk, left drunk and was absolutely hilarious. She is a HUGE crowd favorite and despite her lackings  in the ‘physique’ round, she managed to place 3rd.

- My favorite competitor, Tanji Johnson, received 4th place (as she did last year) with her Mighty Mouse routine. She had an awesome ‘not too hard, not too soft’ physique and stood out being one of two African American girls on stage. (Stacy Simons being the other one: btw - Stacy had an amazing routine too!! She is sooo flexible!)

- Other great surprises was this Russian competitor (forgot her name but will include it later) she had a ’slow’ routine and really showed her flexibility, strength and gymnastic ability. IT was my favorite routine!! (close 2nd is Jenny’s)

- Iris Kyle won Miss  Olympia. She was huge. I’m not a big fan of that sport - but if I were to take away my personal judgements, I do have to say that she stood out amongst her competitors.

- I sat for a short while with the guy I met the other night (Gary) He had seats right across the aisle from me! It was interesting to talk with him since I constantly asked who his ‘favorite’ was and his answers were always: “I have no favorites. I can’t be onstage so I can’t judge them”

- The bodybuilding prejudging was lastnight.  No big surprises. Jay Cutler was a favorite..but I have to say that the crowd really rooted for Ronnie Coleman. I was also REALLY impressed with David Wolf and Victor Martinez. Putting politics aside, I think Jay and Ronnie don’t have the best physiques…it were up to me, I’d say Victor Martinez had a great presentation. Also - Hidetada was a HUGE crowd favorite! He brought a great physique to the stage…I will post pics later!

Gotta Go!
