The DVD cover has a Branch Warren vs Gustavo Badell theme, but there were some other top competitors in the 15 including Melvin Anthony, Armin Scholz, Ahmad Haidar, Johnnie Jackson, Eddie Abbew, Mustafa Mohammad and Toney Freeman.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe next round of the prejudge was the callouts for quarter turn comparisons. First callout consisted of Badell, Warren, Anthony, Haidar and Mohammad. After the quarter turns segment was the callouts for\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tcomparison of mandatory poses. The first callout was almost the same in this round, except that Freeman replaced Haidar. The competition was spirited, and very audible was Badell's grunting during mandatories (especially when he executes most muscular).\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe evening show began with a minute of posing from each of the non finalists. What Derik Farnsworth may lack in mass he compensates with entertaining posing ability. Then each of the 15 finalists presented his routine. Melvin Anthony is always notable. Branch Warren showed some imagination and Mustafa Mohammad showed theatricality in his deliberate and dramatic posing to Phantom of the Opera. Actually, the overall quality of the posing at this show was at a rather high level that should be expected from this caliber of athlete.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThen came the introduction of the top 5, and a final comparison and then a posedown. There was an audience poll for a People's Choice award, which went to Branch Warren. Then the announcement of the results: 5th, Toney Freeman, 4th Mustafa Mohammad, 3rd Melvin Anthony, 2nd Branch Warren and winner of the gold medal and sword was Gustavo Badell. As always from PCB, well done and recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe DVD Extras include an impromptu posing sequence from Bob Cicherillo, a gym posing sequence from competitor Frank Roberson and training partner David Jacobs, and a huge slide show of photos from the show.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tFor anyone wanting a total show experience, then the Pump Room DVD, also available (see PCB-1141DVD) could serve as a good companion to view before the show.
