Ramy was way off compared to last year at pre judging but, he got notably better for Saturday night. I had Brandon ahead Friday but ramy Saturday.
Brandon looked the best I've seen him at pre judging but, he didn't improve any into Saturday and with ramy getting much tighter he was hard pressed to pull out the win.
Hadi was the same. Friday he looked flat which made his conditioning not really show. I didn't have him beating Brandon though, it was close but, his Friday look had him far behind.
Labrada I had behind nick. He was washed out in the abs during pre judging and was shedding a ton of water on stage. His shape is so much better then nicks though and standing next to each other he is much bigger then I thought he was compared to nick.
212. The fake choir boy won on structure alone. Clarida was harder, fuller, and way more dense. From behind Derek's posing was pretty ugly. His legs being so far apart made them look weaker then they actually are but, from the sides the hamstring had great drop to it.
Unless clariads clavicles grow 6 inches though, I don't see what he can do to regain the title if fake boy comes in this shape again.
Classic top 3 was as I figured. The kid who placed 4th was completely off my radar and I think he's 21? Very bright future for him.
