I think its going to be Ronnie again. Unless he comes in REALLY out of shape, I dont see anyone taking it away from him. Altho, I would like to see Nasser take the title one of these years. I think that Ronnie will be Mr. O until he retires

this is what i think

flex can beat ronnie (he is more aestetic and has almost the same mass

but chris cormier can beat flex because he is more massive, and just as cut

but i think that ronnie can beat chris...this sounds very confusing but i think it is a toss up..
i also think nassar has a shot

I'd have to say Ronnie. Flex has one of the best physiques around. Flex's body is more proportional than Ronnie's, but Ronnie has size and more cuts. At least he did the last two years. I put my money on Ronnie. Flex can't even compare to Ronnie's size. I saw a picture of the two of them posing next to each other and Ron was a lot bigger than Flex. I reall want Lee Priest to win. He's one of my favorite bodybuilders. Same with Levrone.

If you were to look at the past judging, it's been size thats the deciding factor.People like Shawn Ray,Milos Sarcev,Darren Charles,Ernie Taylor and Lee Priest all have excellent physiques but just aren't freaky enough.If they are looking for the biggest freak, it has to be Marcus Ruhl.The guys a monster and he's cut and hard, so why doesn't he place higher?He's bigger than Ronnie, yet Ronnie will beat him.I think there's a lot of politics involved, Weider sponsorship deals are already arranged, so Ronnie will win.

Ronnie will win.
I happen to like the smaller guys. I would love to see Lee priest or Dexter Jackson win some of the big contests. Dexter has had some good placings this year despite his smaller size. In my opinion, THEY'RE ALL FREAKS! Later Gator!

I was in Vegas for Olympia last year. It was amazing. I stayed at the Mandalay Bay. Is anybody going this year? I think I'll go back.

Lee Priest all the way, he is my favorite bodybuilder and I would love to see him win. Of course he probably wont do to all the politics in bodybuilding...All Ronnie has to do is look decent and he is a shoe in...too bad.

I think ronnie has it again. I would like to see dennis james win soon even though he has begun recently. he looked great at the arnold. I am also fans of levrone and schlierkamp.

Not that I care, but Ronnie Coleman will win again. In addition to having the right body, he improves the image of the sport.

Who ever kiss's Joe and Bens ass with the most passion will win,went last year and thought things were pretty one sided.Lee,Ruhl were ripped off,the judges are starting the same bullshit again,Remember Bev F.Couldnt win because they said she was over developed.What the Fuck isnt that what the Olympia is all about?

Exactly, I saw a flex mag and I saw Jay and it shows a picture where he is 18 then on the cover it shows him now at 26 or 27 something like that I do not remember but that much mas in almost a decade. he had his daily dose of juices. but they also choose the winners out of the veterans the most experienced the most mature. huh what nonsense we have a lot of great potentials coming up.

I'd like to see Nasser take it, but it will be Ronnie year after year. I don't think Flex can take it from him, but Cormier may be capable of an upset in the near future.

I think they should put a limit on the Olympias one person can win,to give another a chance.Just a thought.

The Olympia is such a rip-off I stopped following it long ago.... . I remember one olympia when Dorian should not have won, yet he did... . It's all bull. After reading all your opinions on who the rightful winner should be, I'm beginning to suspect that bodybuilding is a little too subjective to be a sport. Everyone has their own opinion of what the IDEAL physique should look like. I guess the lesson for me here, is to stop assessing other people's physiques and focus on assessing and developing my own and having a HELL LOTTA FUN and the same time.

It should really be who ever presents himself in best shape, best routine that night.
Not the person who should just expect to win, like Dorian did that one year. Chris C, Flex if he gets his head out of his ass, Nasser, or Ronnie are all great runner ups.
Lee, he needs high heels. Don't get me wrong, his physique is great but he doesn't look right next to all them.

You'd think with several judges they could get it right. How many judges are there anyway? Yates should have lost at least two of those.

As for this year...
