I agree....I almost fell out when they called her in 3rd place!! Melody and I spoke to Tanji at the Expo...she said she was 1st in the routine round and 5th in the physique round...she missed 2nd place by 1 point behind Julie.

I was there at the night show only and Tanji's routine was amazing...I am not the expert, but hers was my favorite... Didn't see the callouts so can't argue if she should have been number 1 or 2....
Lisa was amazing too... She is up against a tough crowd there. For sure Iris is above the rest and Yaxeni looked incredible as well... After that you can certainly argue her case....

I was really surprised that Monica wasn't in Top 6. She looks nice, but definitely not the Monica of 2000-2006...she brought down the mass tremendously so I just knew she'd score higher!!

Oh, you've got to be kidding. So the rest of the Top 5 placed higher than her in physique? BWAHAHAHA.

Does the loss of the 45 second routine put more emphasis on physique then? I found 2 piece call out and final placings were almost the same...

Some good names added. Latisha Wilder and Monica Brant definitely could have been included. Those two (Monica in particular) has been screwed over for so long I really don't think about it any more. lol The judges decided years back that Monica would never win a figure show.
Yes, Lisa Aukland can take solace in the fact that she's won the AC show more than once. Her physique really has no flaws, in my opinion.
Tanji better get a pro win soon! :mad:

Monica does get shafted. IMO, she is what 'figure' is and should be, but that's just my opinion. No one can top her symmetry and I can't even see where should could possibly improve.
I think the judges were asleep during the fitness routines. I heard the judges have a love/fascination for Julie's physique, but the routine... come on!
Tanji's routine had so much difficulty and was performed flawlessly. Do you know how hard it is to do those plyo push ups? My only critique would be Tanji's calves. But Adela is lacking there as well.
And what about Oksana? Routines are suppossed to be judged on strength, creativity and flexibility. Did she not have all three? And perform the routine flawlessly?

I agree about Tanji's placing. Not that 3rd place is any reason to be disappointed, but I feel she earned 1st or 2nd. She's always solid with her routines, and I thought her conditioning was flawless.

as far as figure it seems they still don't want a lot of muscle as Tanji and Oksana have great muscular physiques!! They should let it slide more in fitness, I love their physiques!! Oh well as the IFBB turns!!!

Could someone please also explain how Allison did worse than Bethany for routine? Bethany did not finish, but Allison started and did a re-do. I would have thought they would have scored the same???

Yeah, I was confused about that too. I mean, did Bethany even do all of her mandatories before she left the stage? It doesn't make sense to me:nuts:

OK, I understand. She is such a good sport. I mean if I trained so hard for that long, I would at least want to show off my routine. Go A!!!

Adela told us that they didn't have a practice run of their routine b4 the night show. She said that the speakers were facing out toward the audience and many competitors had difficulty hearing their own music.

I talked to her right after - basically, she froze. I guess uncharacteristic for a 'routine vet' but I guess it happens.
And she also had a hard time hearing her music (as Kenyatta just said).

I also heard a lot of comments about the stage being slippery from the bodybuilders being judged first, and fitness competitors slipping on it. In an interview with RxMuscle, Steve Weinberger commented on this, saying re-do's are not allowed because these ladies are professionals and are expected to complete the routine once they begin.
HMR Radio (http://www.rxmuscle.com/hmr-radio-show.html)
He talks about Fitness at about 78:40 minutes into the show.

The stage was very slippery. If you watch the webcast, when they introduce us at the beginning and I run out to center stage, I almost slide into place. The stagehands tried so hard! They even taped down a damp rag for us to wipe our feet on before going onstage!
Luckily I realized how slippery it was when I was practicing on the floor in the pump up room before the show. The practice floor was really dusty and slippery, and I kept not hitting my final move, a no-handed kip-up with the sai in my hands. My feet were slipping out from under me unless I wiped down the floor before doing it. Jeff Binns was present for all this and seemed to find it entertaining! I decided it wasn't worth chancing it on the real stage, so I left the move out (hence why I just laid down at the end).
I remember Regiane coming offstage and saying "that floor is insane!". I'm glad I chose not to chance it, although the move is darn cool.
