Yep, that's pretty much it.

Gustavo will most likely come in smooth and small so I predict that the battle will be between Troy and Melvin. This time I hope Troy to be announced as a winner.
Well, Shawn Ray just said Gustavo has shredded glutes. So, I guess you were wrong on that one.

Smaller thighs are still noticeable according to Ray.

and this is what Dave Palumbo had to say:

"Based on the TOP 4 .......I'd say TROY ALVES is the most conditioned............ best shoulder to waist ratio..........

GUSTAVO, despite his legs still not being as good as they were in the past, had probably the most complete package of size and conditioning.......

MELVIN, while having the best shape and structure, was a little soft in the glutes and hams.

HIDETADA was the smallest guy in the top 4 but was shredded from the front and sides........from behind he was holding some water.

I'd personally choose TROY ALVES (I"m a conditioning buff) but I wouldn't have a problem wiht GUSTAVO winning. Having said all that, don't be surprised if MELVIN takes it all anyway! "

I see Gustavo still shouts and screams on stage.

Could be close between Troy and Melvin. Both look to be in great shape.

Judging by the comparison pics, Troy has it.

He's the best all around guy up there, no question.

This is what I got by looking at the comparison pictures.

-Troy is the easy choice for the overall

-Gustavo and Melvin are in a close battle for 2nd place

-Gustavo takes a long time to hit shots

-Hide is for certain 4th place or lower

-Troy doesn't seem confident up there for whatever reason

-Gustavo screams on every pose

Yeap, I noticed that one too. I also noticed his ripped glutes. But you gotta admit too, that this is something new for Gustavo. That's of course a good thing. I'm glad he's "back". His thighs are a bit down though.
