I think Iris Kyle will once again win the Ms. Olympia, just like she did last year. She came in with the perfect combination of mass, conditioning, and symmetry, and I think she will repeat that this year. She has arguably the best biceps and legs, and if she can bring last year's package, she'll be in the winner's circle once again. I see the top three for this year's Ms. Olympia being the same as this year's Arnold Classic, with Iris Kyle coming in first, Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia coming in second, and Heather Armbrust coming in third.
I have no doubts that Iris Kyle will place first, as long as she can duplicate last year's package. She has great symmetry and a very balanced physique. Iris won the Arnold Classic this year and will win once again at the Olympia.
I think that Yaxeni Oriquen-Garcia will improve on last year's performance and get back to the top three. She won the Ms. Olympia in 2005 and if Iris Kyle is off, she could certainly repeat. She placed second at the Arnold Classic this past year. Yaxeni has a good amount of size and very good symmetry, so she needs to come in condition to place second, or even possibly win.

Newcomer Heather Armbrust, who placed third at this year's Arnold Classic, will place third at the Olympia. She is still a rookie and has a lot to learn, but she could definitely win in the next few years. She has the size and if she can bring good conditioning, she will end in third place.

Dayana Cadeau, who placed second at last year's Ms. Olympia and sixth at this year's Arnold Classic, will find herself out of the top three and in fourth place. She doesn't have any major weak points and has a balanced and symmetrical physique, but she needs to nail her conditioning or she could place even lower because of this year's tough competition.
Bonnie Priest placed fourth at last year's Olympia and eight at this year's Arnold Classic. Her mass is what's making her competitive so she needs to come in with no noticeable weaknesses and sharp conditioning to place fifth.
Annie Riviecco placed third at last year's Olympia and seventh at this year's Arnold Classic. Annie has a lot of size and a great V-taper. Her legs are also massive and if she can repeat her conditioning from last year's Olympia, she could place sixth or better depending on how the rest of competitors come in.
Lisa Aukland has one of the most symmetrical physiques out of all the competitors. She placed fifth at last year's Olympia and fourth at this year's Arnold Classic. She has a good amount of size and needs to bring her best conditioning. I see her placing seventh this year.
Betty Pariso is a seasoned pro and has been around for quite a while. She placed sixth at last year's Olympia and eighth at this year's Arnold Classic. She needs to bring her best package to date or find herself placing out of the top ten. I see her placing eighth.
Antoinette Norman placed ninth at this year's Arnold Classic and if she can duplicate her package at the Arnold, she will place ninth at the Olympia.

Tazzie Colomb placed eleventh at last year's Olympia and can make the top ten this year if she comes in with great conditioning.

I think Jenny Hendershott will win the Fitness Olympia. She has been competing for quite a while and will her experience will earn her a first place finish. I think Monica Brant will win the Figure Olympia, only if she brought up her back. She has one of the best physiques and her back is her only weak point, even though it's slightly lagging.
1st Place - Jenny Hendershott: Jenny Hendershott never fails to bring a great routine to the stage and I feel her experience will earn her a first place finish. She will not regret making her comeback after retiring following the Arnold Classic.

3rd Place - Adela Garcia: Adela Garcia has recently competed in figure competitions and as done very well. She is one of the best fitness competitors and has improved he routines. She also has a great physique, which will earn her a third place finish.
1st Place - Monica Brant: Monica Brant is a former Fitness Olympia champion and is now competing as a figure competitor. I think this will finally be her year and she will win the Figure Olympia. She's been working hard trying to improve her back and I think she will win and make history by becoming the first competitor to win both the Fitness and Figure Olympia.

She has the best back out of all the figure competitors and if Monica Brant didn't improve her back enough, then Jenny Lynn will once again win the Figure Olympia.
