Welcome to the world of competition. It is so political and one-sided for a variety of reasons. The important thing is to do your first show for the experience & for yourself. If you can make an excellent showing, even better. But just keep in mind that the reality is the barriers to entry for figure shows at anything except the pro level are relatively low so there are LOTS of people getting involved. This girl you are concerned about might come out too hard and be ignored by the judges & someone you didnt' suspect is an up & comer w/ the right connections. Who knows?

Maybe don't *expect* some sort of less than fair play, but don't be suprised by it, and just be sure that you get out of the show what you want. Don't beat yourself down at all for anythign less than a first place. I continue to point out that especially if you are new, you can't set yourself up to judge yourself in live or die terms for one show. There are LOTS of shows going on with LOTS of competitors. Its one thing to do all the work to prepare for show, but there's also a lot of work required to being able to "do" shows well.

I know, your right, its hard to keep that competitive attitude tamed at times. I definitely am looking foward to the behind the scenes of a figure show.. And I am also glad that I made the decision to do two shows back to back.. I have been learning alot during the past 7 weeks about dieting, training and all the different ways to "shock" the body.. I am still playing around with a lot of these tactics right now.. And I am soooooooo happy i found this board to keep me on my toes and to release any tention I am feeling..

Thanks for the post Sassy!!!
