We saw the Overall winner - the gorgeous Jessica Booker Williams - on Tuesday. Today, it's the best of the rest plus some news about one of the more well-loved competitors which (if you haven't already heard about it) is liable to have you punching the air with joy - or at least that's what happens in my experience.
Among the many beauties who left without pro cards were she-hulk Teneacia Smith (top left) and Amanda Martin - who looked good from the front but even better from the rear. Blond beauty Jessica Uthe surely has the thickness to nail her pro card at some point this year if she comes in with better conditioning, and then there was the very appropriately named Gentry Manley - not that Gentry is very manly herself, you understand, it's just a great name for any muscle woman to have!
One woman who did leave with a pro card and a big beaming smile was D class winner Alyssa Isley, whose glutes alone were probably worth the price of admission.
I woke up this morning still in shock, Alyssa wrote the morning after, before asking the question that many a new pro must ask themselves? Now what, what is next?
Even more shredz on the glutes, perhaps Alyssa? Just a suggestion.
And then there was the other Alyssa - Kiessling - bringing her own unique style to the stage, posing like a dude of yore, and going home a pro after winning the A class.
Here she is, "ready to bring back that pro status to room 2533!"
This is what I loved most about the weekend, she said afterwards. Posing to some music with my best friends watching and hyping me up. Vibessss man. Vibes.
More than a little crazy (in a good way), and certainly at least as crazy about female muscle as the most vehement among us, I don't ever see her stopping. The self-styled "Classical Queen" will be lighting up stages for years to come. Pro stages.
And so to the C class, where it was "buff" v "beef", a "nugget" v "nuggette", and former FMS Woman of the Week, the beautiful Destinee Bruch fulfilled her destinee.
It's time to relax, recover, eat a lot of food and have a lot of fun, "Miss Buff Nugget" told her Instagram followers, and while we didn't get to see so much of the relaxing and recovering, she did give us some eating, and seemed to be having a lot of fun doing so!
Destinee's victory, however, left C class rival Paige "Beefnuggette" Sandgren feeling rather deflated, which coincidentally is how she had been feeling at the start of the week before the show - Bloated, flat, tired, blah blah blah... although she looked absolutely sensational both then and at the end of her week in her red posing suit.
"Reflecting on the show and judging feedback", Paige came to a decision.
Get ready for the air punching thing... Since I’ve already come this far, she wrote. I’ll be doing another show in 3 more weeks to try again for my pro card... but this time, it’s in a division I think will better suit my thicker-then-a-snicker shape and size.
Need a translation? Paige will be competing in Bodybuilding now. Watch out for the Ms Wings International Classic, July 1st, Chicago. This feels right, is Paige's current take on her preparation. If things go well we could be seeing her at this year's Rising Phoenix.
Imagine!
