BIKINI INTERNATIONAL

6 – JAMIE BAIRD

” I think Jamie may be competing a little too frequently. It seems like she’s lost some fullness and some curves in her body, she is starting to look a little too straight up and down. Muscle bellies were too flat and too small, she’s lost some fullness underneath.”

5 – JESSICA PAXSON

“I thought she hit it right on. She showed improvements from last year, I haven’t seen her in this good condition for a long time. Could have had her higher. Nice balance of being full enough and still tight in the lower body.”

4 – YESHAIRA ROBLES

“Nice body, nice overall look. I thought was really close between her and Jessica. Another one who has to watch her lower body and find that balance between keeping that tight and still staying full in the upper body.

3 – NICOLE NAGRANI

“Sometimes her conditioning is just off a little bit. It just looked like she might have lost a little bit of fullness, she didn’t have as much curviness as I’ve seen from her at other contests. It kind of felt like she knew it and didn’t portray as much self confidence as I’ve seen from her at other shows.”

2 – NATHALIA MELO

“Nathalia was a little too lean. She’s another one who tries to keep her lower body tight enough so she doesn’t come in too soft and kind of overshoots it sometimes. Especially her midsection, I thought that area was a little too hard for bikini. It wasn’t unanimous for India – she picked up some firsts too.”

1 – INDIA PAULINO

“India was the winner, I like her look, she’s got a little more of an exotic look and a lot of self confidence on stage. She is a little straight up and down, so in her poses she does a good job of trying to give the illusion of having a little more taper. For me personally, with bikini, we’re not looking for a v-taper. We are looking for that overall package along with that stage presence. I thought India was definitely the one but if it turned out to be Nathalia that would have been fine. So many of these competitors are so close. It’s just going to be a matter of who hits it on that day. I think we are going to see a lot of trading back and forth with the top six or seven girls when they all compete together. “
