Vegas awaits the roar of the crowd,
The gladiators stormed standing muscular and proud.

Cranking up their physiques, ready to explode,
Detonate the charge; get this show on the road.

The buildup, the posedown, the definition and size,
Mix in food and gym work, for the Mr. 'O' prize.

Now judges choose their bull beef and discard the rest,
Just one will survive the stampede, to be Bob Cicherillo's guest.

Results are now in from one through to ten,
At the end of the day they're all winning men.

1st: Dexter Jackson

The deposit was paid on Dexter's temple earlier on,
Culminating in dividends "The Trophy was won".

But the cards were stacked for Jay, too hot to hold.

Cleopatra would have positioned Melvin higher this time,
But she didn't show up so missed out on the crime.

Conclusion

Will now undergo the long process of healing.
