One person said it was close - but leaning toward Phil, the other said it was close, but leaned toward Darrem.

Both people I spoke with thought Dennis James was in 3rd, but would have been better off not doing the show - his extreme muscularity is carrying him. Both said that David Henry is peeled and should definitely be no worse than 3rd, but because he is smaller in size, he is being moved down.

Marcus Ruhl was supposedly a "no show". So, I don't know if he pulled out or what happened. Wilmore looks good, but supposedly is not getting good callouts - and is somewhere between 6-9. Kamali is supposedly way off but did get good callouts - in the 6-9 range. Fedorov is way off and both people I spoke with figure him around last place.

That's all that I've heard about - if I hear anything else, I'll definitely let you know - but it's another Phil/Darrem battle.

Go Team Phil Heath!

I feel so sorry about Federov.. god so much hype around him that must not help him...

i hope he wont give up because of this.

Too bad for federov, he has all the mass figured out now he need to master the art of conditioning. He might wanna seek the help of chad nichols, chris aceto or one of the other top nutritionist.
