bbcom_developer

Dear BodySpace Transformation Blog contestants:

Ryan D. (Administration)
Richard B. (Web Team)
Paul T. (Marketing)
Dan D. (Store Team)
Suzanne C. (Warehouse)
Scott W. (Web Team)
JP U. (Web Team)
Jamie T. (Customer Service)
Kelly H. (Information Technology)
Lisa N. (Store Team)
Scott S. (Programming)
Eric D. (Store Team)
Karen S. (Finance)
Joe G. (Store Team)

And the votes are now officially in and tallied…

The official winners are - in order:

1) Vanessa
2) Matthew*
3) Philip*
4) Nitaant
5) Raquelle
6) Chuck
7) George
8) Ben

*The race for 2nd and 3rd place was very close, this was nearly a tie.

An article will be coming out with this info and more tomorrow (including information on how the prizes will be distributed), and we’ll be doing transformation articles on each one of you over the next week.

Thanks, everyone, and remember - everyone of you is a winner, and we truly believe that: the amount of determination and mental focus required even just to stick with a 3-month long contest is tremendous, let alone seeing the physical changes you all have made!

    TRHANK YOU BB.COM STAFF!!!!!

    I just ran around my living room 4 times, I can’t believe it!!!! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity and for choosing me.


  2. AtownKing187 Says:

    CONGRATS NESSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  3. Beejis60 Says:

    CONGRATS NESS!!!!!!!!!!! GLAD TO HEAR SO MANY GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!


  4. bbcom_developer Says:

    Only 4 times??? LOL, we were hoping for 5. Congratulations, you made a spectacular transformation! =)


  5. magilbert79 Says:

    I just wanted to let you know that I have been following this compatition since it started, and I am shocked to see who you chose to win. I can’t believe you picked someone who didn’t make much of a transformation. I thought that the contest was who made the most change…. If you ask me I didn’t see very much of a change on the first 2 winners. There others who made more of an eye turning second looking than the one you picked as a winner. NO I am not trying to bag on dvsness, I mean just because you make a compatition you shouldn’t be chosen the winner over others that have made a bigger transformation. I believe that you made a mistake. I don’t know if connections to people higher up were involved but something fishy went on with the voting. I hope that you all can sleep well tonight knowing that you let someone win that didn’t truly deserve to win. Of course anyone looks different when their hair is in their face. I just can not believe the results. It is very depressing. To all the others congrats, BUT this shouldn’t have been the results if they were looking for the one that made the biggest transformation.


  6. dvsness Says:

    I’m sorry you feel that way, mag. I know dropping 20 lbs and going from high teen to single digit bodyfat sure felt like a transformation to me. And I have no "connections" whatever that means??


  7. bodebldr2000 Says:

    Congrats to everyone. This was the most fun i have had in a long time. Now its finally over and i can focus on the Kansas State!! I have entered 3 shows and I know i will kick ass. Thanks to Rich for everything! It was a blast!


  8. uhockey Says:

    Some day when Vanessa is famous I can look back say "I knew her when…"

    Congrats!!


  9. teenyGreen Says:

    Congratulations Ness…you deserved it.


  10. gfriedel Says:

    Congratulations to everyone!!!!!


  11. dtrek930 Says:

    Again…CONGRATULATIONS Ness!!! Deserving indeed. ~Dawn Melanie



  12. ZacharyMills Says:

    Mag, Ness won…that’s it. There’s no crying about it, she won fairly, and she deserved it. Anything less than congratulations is ridiculous.

    Ness, congratulations on everything so far, you’ve come a long way, and although you still have a long way to go, you truly are an inspiration. :)


  13. bodebldr2000 Says:

    Mag wasnt "crying" zach, just giving an opinion. Can opinions be given without smartass remarks like yours?


  14. stonecoldtruth Says:

    Vanessa, omg girl! Seriously, I’m sitting here at work almost falling asleep and so I take a break to come check out whats going on at the old bb.com, and look what I find.. big congrats! Many people may not understand the immense transformation you made, but those of us who count do!

    Josh


  15. ZacharyMills Says:

    Yeah…he was crying.

    And it seems you are too…sorry you didn’t win, next time, try using more Epistane, eh?


  16. MacgyverDel Says:

    Congrats Vanessa. can we assume the running around the livingroom is also helping with the chocolate/junk food consumption recently. hee hee.
    Del


  17. secondfocus Says:

    I am truly impressed with what everyone has done! Great job! (Insert applause here!)



  18. The Brotherhood Says:

    Grats Nessy. Perhaps the judges saw something we didn’t. Im shocked at the results, but grats ;)


  19. The Brotherhood Says:

    and Zach, that pot-shot wasn’t called for. Im surprised at you.


  20. bmt424 Says:

    Congratulations Vanessa!

    And to everyone who competed…Remember…

    9 out of every 10 people FAIL at an attempt at a successful Body Transformation ;) Bill Belfert


  21. bodebldr2000 Says:

    hey zach, take that thing out of your mouth, i couldnt understand you. YOU are the one who needs Epistane little man.

    Fact of the matter is, someone voiced an opinion and you ran your mouth like you ALWAYS do. Why cant people say what they feel was right or wrong with the placings without a chicken head like you bitching and moaning? are you on your period, again?

    i knew i wouldnt win this fromt he start, Phillip is the winner PERIOD. he made the best transformation of all of us, like it or not he deserved 1st not vanessa.


  22. gfriedel Says:

    Hey Rich, I like to know:
    When you gave the 17 judges the form to rank the contestants, what criteria were they using to place us 1-8? If you could post this up with the scorecards, it would give everyone a better understanding why we were placed in the positions above.

    BTW, 7th is COOL with me. I glad I participating in this contest!!!


  23. ZacharyMills Says:

    Awww…too bad bode…it’s just too bad.


  24. bodebldr2000 Says:

    yeah it is aint it. To damn bad the wrong person was given 1st. oh well, life goes on doesnt it beef cake?


  25. Gary Says:

    out of topic, but wow this zach character looks awfully anorexic

    …not to mention that he’s obviously on his period…


  26. Gary Says:

    anyways, my 2 cents on this contest

    IMO, Phil made the biggest physical transformation out of any contestant. However, I would have to say that neither Phil nor Vanessa made continuous progress week by week the way Nitaant, and then Matt did. So I’m not really sure how Vanessa won. If you’re looking for the biggest transformation, it’s Phil, and if you’re looking for the biggest relative transformation, it’s probably Nitaant.

    Add to that the constant gloating of Vanessa,, I’m very surprised that they voted for her. She should have definitely been a lot more humble about it. I mean, really, at the end of the day it’s only $500, but oh well I guess money matters more to some than others


  27. jonathan Says:

    First and for most, congrads are in order. I was a bit confussed by the placings because I thought too, it was about the "greatest" change. But, in a line up asking the question who had the best physique at the end, I would have probably judged it much the same way except chuck would have placed higher, probably 3rd, the dude is solid.

    But regardless of the the actual criteria Vanessa had the best over all physique in the end. Congrads


  28. Eric Says:

    As one of the judges: we were give the before and after pics and that was it; no back ground or weekly updates, just before and afters. Going off of that Vanessa did make the biggest transformation. She lost a lot of body fat and really tightened up. Her final result was her goal weight. I had never hear of or seen Vanessa before, so it definitely wasn’t about connectedness for me.

    Philip did lose a lot and it was very close between him and Matthew for second, who also reach his goal and had a lot of definition - loosing both fat AND gaining muscle. This was a main criteria (building muscle AND loosing fat).

    Everyone did great and should be proud of their progress. I hope everyone keeps going regardless of the competition coming to a close.


  29. lisawannadance Says:

    alright my people heres the situation…….when we judged this thing, we were givin your before and your after shots. we were not givin any stats. our judging wasnt fishy….some a those pictures were fishy. we were simply going off of what was put in front of our faces. we all pretty much had the same winner, but the rest of the placings were hard because everybody did a real good job. i dont think any of us had the exact same placings for everybody. even looking at it now, ill tell you that i dont necessarily agree with the end results. but its not jus about me, its about who got how many votes in the end etc etc.

    criteria we used….ok sure…..
    can i even notice a change in the before and after pics? is that person seriously sticking out their belly? why does that after shot look photoshopped? can you believe how much this person lost around their butt? does this after pic jus look different because they got a tan? how much do you think that persons suckin it in? do you think that double chin is fake? that pic could be old, why didnt that person follow rules and hold up a newspaper?
    see……..sooooo…….ish was hard!


  30. ZacharyMills Says:

    Cry?

    Vanessa won. She made the best transformation…whining will get you nowhere.

    The end.


  31. The Brotherhood Says:

    She won. Doesn’t mean she made the best transformation. The judges only had before/after pics to look at. If they looked at all the progress pictures im certain the outcome would be different.

    But yes, no point in debating it. The judges decision is final. Vanessa won. Lets all get on with life ;)


  32. bodebldr2000 Says:

    yeah, your right nit nat. The judges did an awesome job hands down, i dont discredit them one bit or their decisions. They used the materials they had and did their best. thanks judges! great job. Now nit, lets go get a beer, your bar or mine?


  33. The Brotherhood Says:

    Mine. Im still illegal in the US, but here I can drink up baby!

    I don’t drink, however. Did, don’t know, wont ever again. I stay away from Rum chocolates too…


  34. njmuscle66 Says:

    just find it interesting about lisa’s comment about a pic being photo shopped. I can’t see any example of that.

    Do I feel I merited higher placing? Yes I certainly do but the judges didnt agree-so be it. Hoping my placing will be higher than sixth at the Mr Pa contest this summer. :)


  35. njmuscle66 Says:

    lisa-as a competitor please expand on your comment that some of the pics were "fishy". Since I can attest to the validity of the pictures I submitted and feel confident that the others can also


  36. pmtaf Says:

    1. ERIC, as the criteria you based your judging off of, THAT was NOT the criteria. The criteria was overall transformation. I just don’t see how a person goes from 116lbs in September of 2006, 124lbs in January 2007 to 105 in April has the OVERALL transformation. If the judging was that it had to be fat loss AND muscle building, my feeling of being shocked just got x100. The origianl criteria had to overall transformation, not a bodybuilding contest.

    2. Lisa, I understand your questioning some things, BUT these things should have been figured out before the contest started and not after. I hope and pray nobody was influenced in their voting by what you just said. Also, email me directly and I can send you candids of me in 2006 and as of now. You will see that they are genuine.

    I think if there was questions regarding pictures, there was a delay of 18…I’ll repeat 18 days where that could have been addressed.

    Speaking of delays….why the hold on announcing the winner? Why wait so long? Was there a specific reason?

    I am not going to go on, I will turn with my head held high (mouth dropped to the floor), but when I feel direct shots are at me, I will respond.


  37. gfriedel Says:

    Boy,the drama in here keeps getting worse & worse!!! IMO, the placings should have been different, except 7th & 8th (I placed where I expected I would be). But the contest is over and we have to accept the placings!!

    I don’t like the comment that the pics looked "FISHY." I can attest that my pics are the real deal, because I don’t have photoshop.

    I did eat alot of Tuna Fish & other fish during the contest!!! Maybe that’s why mine were fishy. LOL


  38. lisawannadance Says:

    you guys wanted to know the deal, i told you. are we done yet?


  39. njmuscle66 Says:

    Wow it was about building muscle and losing fat and as a bodybuilder I ended up sixth-interesting.

    I could say more about those who are successful in BUILDING MUSCLE and LOSING FAT at the same time but I it is far better left unsaid.


  40. gfriedel Says:

    No, were not done yet!!

    Please explain why you think some of the photos looked fishy?

    If you think someones photos looked photoshopped, why weren’t they DQ’d?

    From what I can see, eveyone posted and held newspapers.


  41. lisawannadance Says:

    theres more to it. im not writin novels an im not namin names. if people are sure their pics are valid and not fishy…..than ok…..nobody should be worried bout anything i have to say then. again….everybody wanted to know our train of thought when we judged and i was the one who decided to answer everyones questions. BUT…..im done now. im goin home an cookin me some chicken an green beans. errbody have a fabulous nite!


  42. njmuscle66 Says:

    lisa-thank you for your candid comments


  43. pmtaf Says:

    Yes, thank you for the comments…I would still like to know if the judging was based on SIMULTANIOUS fat loss and muscle building…if it was, I must have misread the rules.

    As you said, I have nothing to worry about. Heck I had to take about 50 pictures because everyone was blurry or had showed my kids shadow holding up the sheet behind me. I’ll also stand by my statement of if someone wants to email me directly, they are more than welcome to.

    Lastly, I want everyone to know, I went to gym tonight (had to drag my jaw because it was still on the floor), but I worked some rage out.


  44. ZacharyMills Says:

    A lot of whining in here…accept it and move on…you’re not going to get anything overturned, and you’re not going to hear what you want to hear. It’s that simple. Ness won, everyone else placed where they did. and that’s it. Don’t leave it to the judges and then when the judges make a choice, then go on to bitch and moan about it.

  46. deserusan Says:

    Rich and Lisa rigged this!!!!! I paid them off!!!!! :D


  47. UHCougar05 Says:

    Des, thank God you cleared it up for us.


  48. emisgod Says:

    I ran around my living room 5 times…:D


  49. The Brotherhood Says:

    Thanks for the scorecard Rich :)

    I don’t think the judges got to see the pics until recently. Lisa’s being a darling by coming into the thread and answered questions, lets not give her flak for doing her job? She didn’t make the rules, they were given to her, and she judged by them.

    Thanks for helping out with the judging Lisa. From the judging criteria you listed, I now feel the results are spot on. Well, not spot on, but I don’t disagree with first anymore.


  50. The Brotherhood Says:

    Also, this is not a shot at you Phil, but I don’t see how you expect to win when you don’t post mandatory back pictures with newspaper?

    Yes, there was ALOT of time with the before pics where you wern’t told you missed something, and 18 days after, but I believe the rules stated something to the effect of "Front and rear pictures with newspaper are mandatory. All other pictures are supplemental". You also wern’t holding the newspaper in your final pics. Im sure the judges would NOT want to doubt anything for the sake of the competition, but its hard to when there are just one or two simple rules with the before and after pictures that also get broken.

    My 0.02 on why you placed third and not first or second.


  51. pmtaf Says:

    Good points nit, but one I need to make, as it does’nt matter now. Look behind my head in the pics. the newspaper IS hanging on the sheet behind my head. You may only be able to half of it in one of them…but you can tell its the same pic. As I said, if there was a problem, we had 90 days to say something about my back, and then 18 to say, hey wheres the paper. Its there…..look. Show me where is said front and back. That’s why I’m angry, if I lost because soooo many interpritations was way wrong, then I’m hurt I wasn’t asked about something in 108 days…only after the fact. oh well, whats done is done….lets move on, get huge, and make more than $500.


  52. Abhinav Says:

    This thing is a joke. Especially with Nits trying to calm things down in India when he himself is screwed in the head


  53. The Brotherhood Says:

    WTF? Whats with the insults from someone I don’t know, and whos trying to calm stuff down in India?

    big wtf


  54. bodebldr2000 Says:

    abhinav… wtf? nit.. are you causing troble again man? lol Wow, this thread is off the hook! you can smell the piss flyin! lol

    nit keep doing the great job over there my man……? i never knew nit was screwed in the head, wow.


  55. The Brotherhood Says:

    WTF? What job over here? WTF


  56. bodebldr2000 Says:

    i was joking nit. its called sarcasim. i was picking on what abhinav said to you is all.

    I think they need to close this thread, geesh people are going nuckin futts in here. lol


  57. Abhinav Says:

    How old are you Nits? You wasted your time bodybuilding which isn’t wrong but from the looks of it, you don’t seem to be studying given that you sleep at four and wake up at twelve. You seem to have quite a bit of an attitude problem!!



  58. The Brotherhood Says:

    Can someone IP trace this guy and tell me if hes in my IP range? Don’t have to tell me the IP, but if you could tell me if hes in my range. I have a feeling I know who this troll is.


  59. bodebldr2000 Says:

    he must like you nit. seems to be "stalking" you IMO. Its gotta be those beefy quads of yours man. Stop getting bigger and badder and the ghey trolls will leave you alone. lol J/K

    Ignore that penis leech. he’s just trying to get under your skin is all… well, maybe more like trying to get under the covers with you…. have a great weekend my bratha.


  60. bodebldr2000 Says:

    nit, is this your "friend" http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=807813

    if thats him, i wouldnt be talking smack at all.


  61. King Alex Says:

    lol hahaaa abhinav is a bitch


  62. Ben PaLftr Says:

    Alot of you guys just seem to be greedy bitches. You all talked up about how you were changing your life..money doesn’t matter bla bla. When someone wins the money it turns into a bitch fight.

    You all need to get your shit straight.

    I’m glad I finished last. I’m not involved in any of this bullshit drama.


  63. pmtaf Says:

    Ben…
    1. We wasn’t complaining about the money, it was about the honor of 1st.
    2. Your a little late…we have all realized we acted like jerks, where we should have been congratulating Ness…after realizing that, we’ve moved on to become even bigger and better and try harder and learn from it.
    3. We’ve moved on, so you move on! Next time, you decide to talk smack, you won’t do it under an alternate screen name!


  64. BB2K Says:

    Wow ben, didnt see that one coming. It does help to READ the posts completely before you make an ass out of yourself.
