NOW THAT'S A BIG FAT pHucK pHRed! I LOVE IT and you EARNED IT!

THe judge's comment - I guess it really depends on how jaded the guy / girl is. Some of them have been doing it so long that they feel they are "God" when it comes to handing out opinions. Its unfortunate when they give you criticism rather than constructive criticism. But in this case, hmmmm, sour grapes politics maybe? Screw 'em - you did the show for you. YOu just happened to come back with the hardware.

SO PROUD GIRL! I can hardly wait to see you in that fantastic blue w/ the 8 footer!

^^ Had to come on and say Congrats again for stepping it up JC.

As long as you don't take the judges comments to heart, use them for future knowledge as what to work on if you decide to compete next year.

Funny how people have a way with words eh?

I always feel there is always room for improvement which but for this weekend, enjoy yourself, you've earned it.

Wishing you well if you decide to do Baltimore.

Can't wait for

Dang I need to go back to bed

Hi Buns!


Jen you did you sleep surrounded w/ your trophies??

Jen you did you sleep surrounded w/ your trophies??

LOL Nooooooooooo.......... the one is so tall that it's pretty much stuck where it is right now!

And yes, I agree with Buns - it's not always what you say, but how you say it - and I was kinda surprised as to how that judge worded his comments. Wish the pics had turned out so you all could see what the other girls looked like. I'm going to email the promotor & see if I can possibly email the head judge for comments as he was busy talking to others last nite & I didn't want to interrupt.

Ah well - I know what my "weak" points are - so it's more uphill walking lunges for me!! LOL

WOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you would rock!!

congrats girlie.. you deserve this and so much more!!!

and those judges can kiss my ass!!!

 

[jenscats5]

I emailed the promoter this morning to see if I can contact the head judge for comments.

Plus I'm hoping the NPC will post the score sheets on their site - we'll see!

As of RIGHT NOW - it's more like coffee & a cookie!!

The Results:

Novice Figure: 2nd place (that's 2 places UP in 1 month!) - out of 4 girls
Master's figure: 1st (out of 2 competitors)
Ms. New Castle County Figure: 1st (8 foot Tropy!!)

LOL We had to take the feet off the trophy to get it to fit in the house!!

ANDDDDDDDDDDD - I asked for feedback from a judge - here's what he told me: I have NO back - Quote - You need a back and you have a fat ass & you need more of a quad sweep.

Um - ok then ! Thanks! WELLLLLLLLLLLL - it turns out - he's buddies with FRED & HIS GIRL got beat by me .......... so there! Interesting huh??

NYCgirl's opinion is that I should've won 1st in Novice.

First off congratulations thats a lot of hardware to be bringing home. Those comments from the judge were not professional at all. Those comments sound very personal and have no place in the sport. Next time you compete you should talk to more than one judge. If you have a couple of people telling you the same things then you know that's what you need to improve.

That's the way ya do it!! Congrats Jen! I think back to you sitting in ATL pondering whether or not you should compete. Looks like you made the right decision. I'm very happy for you.
