Twenty-eight women took the stage today in St. Louis, Missouri in hopes of qualifying for next month’s Olympia and bragging rights as the St. Louis Pro Bikini Champion. Last year’s winner, Justine Munro was back to defend her title after when the dust settled after prejudging, I’d say she’s the clear winner and will successfully defend her crown.
Justine was the only woman in this line-up already qualified for the Olympia. When she took the stage she rocked it with confidence and a tight, toned physique. She wasn’t quite as muscular or conditioned as last year however she more than held her own, especially when she turns around. Justine has developed some of the finest glutes in the game and I’d be shocked if she’s anything but first at tonight’s finals.
Based on the comparisons the battle for 2-6th will be one that’s not a unanimous one. In the first callout you had Justine Munro, Brittany Tacy, Sarah LeBlanc, Lacey Deluca, Jessica Arevalo and Tiffany Bodyston. Based on this callout and they were brought back out for one more look at the end of all the comparisons, I’d say Sarah LeBlanc and Brittany Tacy will be your second and third place finishers. Sarah and Brittany both have athletic physiques. I like Sarah’s upper body as it’s one with some muscle and abs but not too overpowering. She could bring up her quads a bit though. Brittany also has an athletic physique and if she was just a tad tighter in the lower body she might be a challenge for the win. Lacey Deluca has her presentation down and has brought a healthier, more balanced look to the stage as of late. She has wide hips and a tiny waist. When she doesn’t hit her backside pose her booty looks a bit softer and bigger than when she is in her pose. I have her sitting in fourth of fifth but if pressed to give a spot, I’d go fifth. Jessica Arevalo brought some confidence to the stage and was pretty balanced. I’m not a huge fan of the way she twists so dramatically when she poses and the back of her suit appears a bit small. I think she could lock down fourth or be as high as second. I’d put her in fourth if I was on the judging panel but as we all know, I’m not and these are just MY OPINIONS and not how the judges feel. Tiffany Boydston could be has high as second or as low as sixth. I’d have her in sixth and only because she was in this callout. I’m not a fan of the big, thick high platform in the front for the shoes which she was rock’n. Tiffany looked better here than she did in Cali however I feel like she’s a little too thin up top and her backside wasn’t as tight as the other women in this group. We’ll see where the judges place her tonight at the finals.
Rounding out the top spots look to be Crystal Green in seventh. I would have had no problem with her in the first callout, she just needs a bit darker tan. Noemi Olah wasn’t quite as full and sharp as she was in Tampa however she should lock in the 8th place spot. Jessica Renee is some where in the top 10 spots and I’d have her in 9th based on the callouts. I’d like to see her with a bit more natural makeup as she’s a beautiful woman who doesn’t need to over due it with the makeup, a bit darker tan will help her as well. Christie Marquez’s color was a little off and her suit bottoms looked like they were going to fall down at any time. The cut was just way too low and didn’t flatter her physique which was the leanest I’ve seen her look. Stephanie Mahoe could be in the top ten but I have her in 11th based on the callouts. She wasn’t quite as sharp as she was in Tampa and her lower body could be a bit tighter. Gigi Amurao was plagued by the same problem she always has… her legs appeared too big and it cost her a higher spot here.
Diana Becker was back on stage and her upper body looked good. She just needs to bring her legs down and come in a bit tighter in her lower body and she’ll be back in the mix for a top spot. Hunnika is somewhere in the top 15 in her pro debut and I would have her higher as she didn’t look bad just small compared to some of the other women. Katherine Williams I thought also looked good and could have been higher but will be some where in the 15-17th spot. Jennifer Dawn could have been a tad tighter in the booty and needs a bit more size to her quads but overall I didn’t think it was a bad look for her she is somewhere around 15-17 as well. Amy Allen was clearly not at her best and it showed. Her lower body was flat and not what we’ve come to expect from her given what’s she presented in her last couple of showings.
