Mark Alvisi & Gaspari Nutrition vs the rest of the top 5 in the 2010 ESS

[Line]

Cedric looked better at the night show.....so it makes no sense whatsoever that they have Cedric 2nd after the prejudging, and down to 4th after the night show.

Maybe I'm missing something here but why is Cedric in 4th if he and Wilmore both ended with scores of 30? How do they break the tie: Flip a coin?

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Props to this thread, its really odd. Especially Ruhl ahead of curry... i mean they obviously went for conditioning so why did ruhl place ahead of curry? Curry was in better conditioning, had more ballanced physique and probably one of the best upper bodies in the whole show, sure he is missing legs but ruhl is missing tri's, glutes, and his chest is falling appart.

Very odd judging indeed, especially R?hl placing higher than Curry. Also Alvisi placing 2nd is a joke. Markus looks so worn out, so please retire and stay retired.

^^ yeah Rul is a train reck... really needs to retire for good!

They said in the video feed that 3-4 was a tie so it went to the judges panel for the tie breaking rule but never explained what that was...really they should both get an O qualification

 

[tkD]

^^ Even if they would give to Cedric an O qualification for being tied for 3rd place, he would still not do it, he already said that he will return in 2011, so it's useless now...


Here is the top 5 posedown+awards for the Open class, HD quality from team-andro:

ESS 2010, Top Five Posedown+Awards


Alvisi looks the worst from that top 5, even when he's posing or standing relaxed..

Also check Alvisi's "OMG face" when Wilmore is called for 3rd place LMAO, even Mark was shocked that he's still there waiting..priceless

9:18 - 9:22

 

[tkD]

2nd call out, with Alvisi vs Atoyan, Kefalianos and Rhul

 

[Scotty]

How the hell did alvisi beat cedric?? Cedric dominated him in every pose. Usual judging B.S.

What happened to ruhl's chest?

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Kefalianos pwns Alvisi... You can argue that alvisi beat kefalianos on structure.... but if that were the case then McMillan shouldve placed higher then alvisi... the judging was screwed up no matter which way you look at it.

 

[tkD]

^^ dilated, reps if u do a gif with Alvisi's reaction when Wilmore is called in 3rd lol!

Placements in bodybuilding are the worst of all know-sports, I don't know why but maybe Nasser El Sonbaty, Victor Martinez, Jay Cutler in 2001 or maybe Mike Mentzer

Mike Mentzer wasn't robbed. He was lucky to place in the top 5 that year. There were several guys in the lineup that deserved a place before he did.

Now Arnie may or may not have won the event, but Mentzer was not superior to any of the top 3.

The post about explaining WHY one chose this guy ahead of that guy was great but I dont think the judges would like the assignment of writing about all these guys. But it would be useful for us fans who wants to know WHY THE HELL THAT GUY BEAT THE OTHERS? More often than not, it's the athlete of the ****ing sponsor of the show who gets more than he deserves and Im tired of that crap. I wonder if this means Jay will lose the O this year since he's now with MD. Kai or Phil I guess, that's interesting

 

[Lanois]

found this over at rx, just more fuel for the conspiracy

 

[tkD]

^^ don't tell me that's a judge lol

 

[Natzo]

^^ don't tell me that's a judge lol

that's a judge!

 

[Beau]

Its ****ing obvious Gaspari pulled strings for alvisi as well as that teen national competitor. Its bullshit but that's how corrupt and shady this sport is. I'm really shocked Essa won with the shitty politics involved in bodybuilding. He deserved it but I didn't think he would get it since he's a virtual unknown in the American market

 

[SerbMarko]

The question Line brought up is a good one, how did they pick Bill to be 3rd over Cedric when they both had the same score? my guess it because Bill had a better score in the finals?? who knows.

this is why I hate this industry so much, I used to dream about being a pro bber when I realized what it involves and the politics behind it, this sport is full of shady and corrupt characters, in the end its all
about money, I pray that someone respected does something about this..

 

[Natzo]

hey it's not just bb every competitive sport is like this, they all have shady and corrupt characters
