Maybe its the quality of the webcast but where the heck did the definition go this year in fitness?? I watched the 2 piece round and all I could think was "man these ladies are soft" …Don’t get me wrong, they look good aesthetically but they don’t jump out as looking contest ready (well you know minus that whole tanning thing). Regardless, my favorites from this round are Regina, Oksana, Julie, Tina, and Jen (in no order).
Catsuit round: I feel like the IFBB should ban certain songs from use during these fitness routines. If I hear "pump, pump, pump. get it, get it." one more time I might throw up. And the finish with your head back, one hand in the air (standing or kneeling) is also quite overused. Overall, these were some pretty good routines as 90second routines go. They served they purpose (to demonstrate the required strength and flexibility moves). Some of the veteran’s weren’t as clean as I would expect them to have been. I wish I knew what the scores were from this round though because I don’t understand the overall results based on this round and the 2 piece so far. Jen delivered her usual energy but I don’t know how the rest of the contestants were placed. With the exception of the few bobbled strength holds and incomplete kicks, the routines were pretty even. For example, Oksana and Nicole Wilkins Lee in particular had really clean routines but they placed 9th and 8th respectively.
For some reason, I can’t play the finals footage right now, so I’ll post a seperate blog for that along with my final thoughts.
