A comment posted by someone who has been working with Ronny Rockel from Team-Andro and his recap of the show.

This message about Kefalianos' posing is not getting to him. Surely his wife Helen has seen the many comments by now?
His posing routine was another one of his "hmmm, think for a second on what pose to do next...I KNOW! i'll do this one..."
That sense of being lost on stage must be a distraction to the judges.

"I've never experienced a pro contest like that. Horrible organization.
The athletes had to wait 60 minutes behind the curtain. The air was really stuffy back there and the pump-up room was way too small.
Everone had to wait backstage? Not Paco Bautista. He entered the stage from a separate side entry. He gets VIP treatment over there and the fans love him. The place went nuts when Paco came on stage. They were cheering, waving spanish national flags, wearing Paco fanshirts. It was a feeling like in a soccer stadium. [...]

Ronny won the contest fair and square. He was in the 1st callout and was the 1st in that callout to take a step back and give the judges a better look at the rest of the competitors. There was no need to look at Ronny any time longer. He had the show won right there. [...]

DJ came in 2nd. His placing was also well deserved. Dennis James proclaimed his retirement from the competitive stage after the contest. He said he's gonna end his career after the Olympia in two weeks and wants to focus more on his private life and be there for his family. [...]

Paco is a freak and his conditioning was good - even though he wasn't as hard as we've seen him before. You can make an argument over his placing because he just doesn't have the structure like many other competitors.
The fans loved him and he placed above Piotrkowicz. I thought Piotrkowicz was better than Paco but it was a close decision. Robert is already qualified for the Olympia anyway. [...]

Michael Kefalianos landed on the sixth place and once again didn't get his Olympia ticket. But honestly, I've rarely seen a pro who poses that poorly and who is presenting himself that badly in the line-up. He's wasting a lot of potential there."
