Hey guys..

looks like I am gonna win the VIP olympia package! Unless Amr_Mr.Olympia has something up his sleeves! :)

Anyways.. what do you guys think about this years O? There are going to be over 20 guys this year..

I really hope Dexter does well.. maybe Dorian will make the rumored comeback? Will Flex be in his 1998 Arnold Classic shape? Will Lee compete? Common' fans.. bring it on!

First of all, yup, I have something in my sleeves, so be ready to lose, haha
I would really vote for Dorian to win if he makes a come back, other than Dorian, I think Nasser and Kevin may compete strongly this year. But I don't want Ronnie to win, don't know why, but I just don't like him.

It would be nice to see Dorian up there again. Between Coleman, Levrone, Flex, and all the other awesome potential competitors this year its going to be tough for me to pick a winner right now. How about Chris Cormier? He could really surprise some people. Does anyone new to the bodybuilding scene look impressive?

Amr, I understand what you're saying about Ronnie. Could be because he's already won; time to move on, right? You have to admit, his physique is simply incredible. I like him because he has such a positive attitude toward life. He's a very motivating speaker when he's interviewed. Well, that and the fact that he looks like a statue of a Greek god.

I think you are kinda right jbennett.. I do admit that he has an amazing physique, or else he wouldn't have been one of the top 5. I think want new faces on stage and new winners.

Hey jbennett,

Ronnie does look good - and compared to others onstage, it really shows how far ahead he is in both size and bone dry shape. He truly is amazing.. but his akward abs / belly do stand out.

I believe that about 5-6 guys if they are in shape can win the O. However, POLITICS plays a huge part in bodybuilding. And the Mr.O has onlt been knocked from his title once (Samir). But it should be sweet.. I would love to see Dexter, Lee and Flex place high.

Levrone should take it this year, but I agree that the politics will give it to Ronnie. He is the biggest guy, but not the best. As long as Shawn Ray places higher than Kamali, I will be happy.
