Who will win. Well, half the competitors you can write off. There may be some surprises in the top 6, but no one that will comes from obscurity to take the pole position...just my thoughts.

Lee Priest and Darrme Charles... ahh dear. Learn to play the politics game and you could have a great shot at the top spot.

Darrem's conditioning is 'on' almost every competition. I would love to see him win. I think he realised his comments went through the grapewine at the 2005 Mr O, and obviously got back to certain indivuals that took offense to being belittled. Nice guy, and smart too. I just hope that he gets a better deal at this years Mr O-It was a travesty unfolding when his callouts were not given when they should have!!

Priests small muscle bellies just make the guy blow up and look crazy huge, but after screwing himself badly at the 2005 Mr O (not to mention also costing Adela several places allowing a smart savvy and politic friendly Jen Hendershot to move up) may rule him out for a while, similar to the athletes joining the illfated Vince McMahon Federation push years ago.....

I spoke to Art Atwood a short while ago, and he had solid hopes for the Ironman Pro, obviously things changed for him at some point, while I just can't see his genetics and aesthetics placing high, he sure was carrying some bulk.

I would like to see how the year off has benefitted Troy Alves.... nice guy from all accounts, and has appealing aesthetics...hmm, say can be said for Mark Dugdale....

I will be watching closely to see how it all pans out.

Heh, well there's who I'd like to see win, and then there's who i think will win it. I would like to see Priest come back and tear it up, but he's kinda shot himself in the foot for a while. So, I'm gonna have to give it to Darrem Charles this time around.

[kevinlevrone]

Darrem would be a deserving winner. He is consistant and places well. He's had some wins that give him creditablity.
I don't know all the guys on the list. I think that just from who has been mentioned, that covers ones that would be in the top.
