[heathergracefitness]

Great coverage:awesome:

[Siouxcountry]

Hi there Debra...Are you for Atlanta GA

Hi Jen! Welcome to the party! :party:

[darlina]

Hey Everyone,

I just thought I'd drop ya's a line and let you know how things seemed to go at prejudging. Huong Arcinas, Heather Mae French, Felicia Romero and Kristi Tauti will definitley be in the top 4 spots. Heather and Huang I think will be 1st and 2nd. Call outs were a bit confusing in the one piece round. Heather Green, April Fortier, myself, and not sure who else were in the second call out. So who knows at this point outside of the top 4?...I sure don't. Anyway, just thought I would let everybody know. I think I'll be somewhere between 6-8, hopefully. Good luck with the live coverage! Very cool. Have a good night all!

[D. Lavette]

Hi there Debra...Are you for Atlanta GA

Yes Ma'am... The ATL :waving:

[darlina]

BTW-If you see the live coverage you'll notice that I am uneasy on stage at first round. At the athletes meeting Sandy had told everyone that the judges were not looking for muscle separation or cuts. She said not to pose hard just show lines. I was frazzled. Wasn't sure how I should present my body on stage. So I didnt try to "pose" much but the whole time I'm thinking "how do I look right now?" "Is this what they want?" I was mentally torturing myself! I was very impressed by Huong, she looked great as did Heather Mae French who's body I just love! Meritza looked phenomenal and was sporting a new hairdo that was totally rockin. Not sure of her placing. Thats all folks...

[Siouxcountry]

Thanks for checking in, Darlina! Enjoy the evening show! :waving:

[Shelly]

Darlina:

Thanks for the 411! good luck!!! :respect:

[ejjack]

Thanks Sioux,Shannon and Troy for the coverage. You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ejjack]

I would like to add Heather Mae French and Heather Green to round that out!!!
I think Heather Mae might just have her first win tonight.

[NYCStrongFox]

Hi Mel, it has been a long time since we spoke.
How is your training going?

Hey Jane. Training is going great. One week out from Julie Palmer's show, then 2 more following. Are you competing this year or taking a break?

Sioux, Shannon & Troy, great work on the coverage. :) This board does rock :awesome:

[nutratroy]

Hey Darlina, you looked amazing as always...great package.:D

Hum, here is my thoughts on it. This is hard to call but from the looks of things from pre-judging it seems like:

1- Felica
2- H.M French
3- H. Arcinas
4- K Tauti
5-8: Darlina Brown, Heather Green, April Fortier & Hazel
9-12: Meriza, Dumon, Mayberry & Petra

Interesting show and the judges are sticking to the current format.

Meriza (wow-what a shock to everyone)..not quite sure what to think here, she looked amazing and actually a little bit better & softer then I expected. She was awesome and still smiling after the show. She is a champ I am sure her camp will re-evaluate things and she will be in the heated mix at the Ms O, so no worries there! That girl is "the gift". But my heart breaks for her today, I had her way much higher..

Heather Green- I think she had the tools to win it all today. She looked amazing in the two pc round. Best fitting suit IMO, I think the judges are following the softer look, so she still might be a tad to conditioned for today's show, but DAMN she is stunning. I love her lines and look personally.

Darlina Brown- Wow, One moment I was like she is top 3, then Green, then Hazel...it was this close today. Darlina had it all going on too, she will be in the O mixing it up this year..Great smile!

My favorite surprise was Hazel Nelson!!! She looked so improved and 'like" totally stunning. Everything about her was right today. She has a great ride in front of her this year if she keeps the stride going. Her 2 pc was awesome and she had the best color...Like Green & Brown and Guzman, she stands out. She was soft and probably could have been a tad sharper, but damn...girl did work!!

This is all just from my point of view, in all each girl was a winner...hell owning an IFBB Card is a winner! I personally am still adjusting to the new judging standards myself, so I find myself even 2nd guessing call outs at times...but most of all I felt the judges had it right and are holding true to their word. All you women rocked it today...:respect:

[buffgina]

GOOD LUCK DARLINA!! Just be YOUR very best - and enjoy YOUR day!!!:D

[NYCStrongFox]

Wow, thanks for your input. Looking forward to the pics too and seeing how the judges are sticking with their new format on judging criteria and how these athletes are placed.

[KP DIVA]

Thanks for the updates...I hate that Meriza didn't get better call outs!! I'm just glad the judging appears to be fairly consistant w/ the Pitts Pro show.

[Siouxcountry]

Thanks, Troy! Looking forward to the updates this evening! :respect:

[fitmomma3]

:popcorn: WOW! I am dieing to see pics! I agree though... as corny as it sounds... many of us would be happy as a pig in MUD to come in DEAD LAST ON THAT STAGE lol Just to be among the most amazing! Congrats to all you lovely pros!:respect:

[nutratroy]

Thanks for the updates...I hate that Meriza didn't get better call outs!! I'm just glad the judging appears to be fairly consistant w/ the Pitts Pro show.


Yea, u know it was really funny, Meriza comes out and does her sexy walk, best glutes in show and I think "Girl did work son!!". I had her top five right off the bat...then they do call outs......:o. I am still waiting....wow. It was a crowd shocker. Even the woman next to me made comments on Meriza and how she looked AWESOME. But then again, I am not a judge and still favor that type of body. Or I should say "apples and oranges"....;) The great thing about Meriza is she is SOOOO marketable too! Easy on the eyes, ever see those MAN ad's?

It was a really great show, then again, Jon Lindsy always does great!

[nutratroy]

GOOD LUCK DARLINA!! Just be YOUR very best - and enjoy YOUR day!!!:D


Trust me...Darlina did WORK today. I had her 5th, she just might place 5th in a very hard show.....the top 10 rocked it. I mean almost any one of them could change spots and no one would complain!! Plus she has a awesome smile...:awesome:

[Fitrose]

This sounds like an awesome show and I too am curious to see pics as per callouts. Krisit Tauti must be so happy. I chatted to her at the Sac show back stage and she is a gorgeous person. I know she will be happy with her call outs today. Meriza? Yes, I too am shocked to be honest. I was certain she would get top 3 - crazy... If anyone has pics please post. I am sitting here at home, good old Sydney Australia, and constantly checking my lap top for updates. Although so far away I feel totally in touch with you all. Sioux....this site rocks!!!! :awesome:

Rose

P.S. Darlina, I totally understand where you are coming from. Sometimes it's just all too confusing! But I think you have a gorgeous body girlfriend - just perfect.

[Siouxcountry]

Sioux....this site rocks!!!! :awesome:


It sure does! Thanks to Troy and Shannon for the updates! :respect:

Hi Tracy! How are you? Make yourself at home here! :waving:

[619 MUSCLE]

That's just crazy!! It will be interesting to read what Meriza needs to improve on.

Yup, I was there, and I must admit bias, but I agree w/ Troy, the lil' one was tight, top to bottom, nothing giggling or dimpled on her lil' body!

Shape, poise, finesse, polished presentation...much more than her placing may indicate...but she's smiling and making the improvements - wait and see!
