Some thoughts:

* Frank Roberson brought the house to its feet with one of the most entertaining routines ever witnessed by this reporter. The cowboy hat-wearin', boot-stompin' Texan should be on every promoter's list for their next guest poser. He also looked great.
* Ahmad Haidar improved a lot between the morning and evening shows but his watery appearance, a rarity for this supremely conditioned athlete, took its toll in the early rounds. Still, he has plenty of time to dial it in for the O.
* Toney Freeman was in the shape of his life and was none too happy over being overlooked for top six consideration. He was only two spots away.
* Johnnie Jackson seems to have zeroed in his conditioning. First Toronto, now here. This guy has a really complete and very thick physique. Another great Olympia contender.
* Nasser El Sonbaty seemed frustrated with his low placing. After having come so close to Olympia glory it's been a rough road down. To his credit, he showed excellent vascularity and sliced quads.
* Greg Kovacs made it as far as the tanning and oiling stage, then fell ill and threw up. He withdrew before ever stepping foot onstage.
* Kenny Jones' performance, in which he skulked around stage in an overcoat, fedora, shades and a cigar before stripping down to a towel, left the audience... bewildered.
