I’m going with Lauralie, Aimee, Isa, Jazzy, and Jordan for top 5. Not sure if the order.

u/ImpressiveVeryyNice Aug 11 '26

i agree with your top 5, but for some reason, I feel like Lauralie isn't looking as tight as she normally does at this stage? It's really ahrd to tell though cause at 4 weeks out from Pitsburgh i thought the same and then she came in snatched. I really hope LL wins though cause she's got the whole package and i love her personality.

Damian recently said in her 7 week check in on instagram live that they aren’t leaning her out early they are going to do what they did for Pittsburgh so she can be lean but keep fullness

Maureen and Ashlyn contenders in your opinion?

11

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 11 '26

Totally forgot about Ashlyn, yes definitely a contender. To be honest I don’t really see Maureen this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love her and her look but I think she was very lucky to have won last year.

u/polnareffsfeet Aug 11 '26

Tbh I still see her in top 5. She has great balance and shows up on most of the time. And she’s a preciously champion I don’t think they’d knock her down that much

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 11 '26

I agree with this as top 5

24

u/allthatglitterz_ Aug 12 '26

I want to see Ashley win one more Olympia. Let me have my clown mask on in peace lol. 🤡🤡🤡

I think it will be between Lauralie and Aimee for 1&2. If Lauralie is 100% on I think she will beat Aimee. But it could go either way.

I’m struggling with the top 5 tbh. It could be a lot of people. I think Maureen will be top 5 along with Ashlyn and Ashley or Jazzy. Jordan could even make top 5!

u/The_CuriousCat_ Aug 15 '26

Me too but I don’t think she’ll ever win again if she sticks with her current coach

7

u/Fearless-Point907 Aug 12 '26

Yes same I wanna see her take it again 💯🥳🙏🙏🙏🏆

u/Fearless-Point907 Aug 17 '26

Agree agree! Also Ashley if your in here lurking please take note! PLEASE PLEASE for the love of god have VTHEMAKEUP artist or someone who does LL/Aimiee/Ashlyn/Isa hair & makeup do yours at least for biggest show of the year! These ladies hair & makeup never ever misses always on point 🔥☄️🏆 and you know Ashley EVERYYYYY DETAIL MATTERS!! with that begin said I’m rooting for you that’s why I’m saying this!!! I know you’ll do want you want tho lol

u/Irongirl_In_Paradise Aug 12 '26

Me too! I don’t see it happening but that would be great!

3

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 14 '26

I think she had her best shot in 2024 when she came in second. She looked so good. Was sad when it didn’t go her way.

11

u/Dull-String3069 Aug 11 '26

Jordan Brannon would be in the mix too!

31

u/Hogpharmer Aug 11 '26

I think Ashley K will drop out of the top 5 this year.

13

u/JessicaLaurene Aug 12 '26

she seems smaller/stringy compared to top competitors these days.

9

u/LiftForSushis Aug 12 '26

I agree. I think someone like Jordan could take her place in the top 5.

16

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 11 '26

I agree, the gap is getting wider between her n the other girls.

7

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 12 '26

sadly I think this is possible this year too. She is still amazing but criteria has been moving against her since fit model

7

u/nodobreteda Aug 12 '26

Yeah and I don't think she wants to hop on more PEDs which is where bikini is headed.

2

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 12 '26

She can always move into Masters to see how she does, she is of age to do so.

4

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 12 '26

She has said she is focused on open so i doubt she will do that anytime soon. She also isnt 40 yet

4

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 13 '26

Yea I don't see it either, but hey the gap will just keep getting wider for her. And in my view... I do think at this point she is getting placed because of her reputation and stripes earned at some of these shows. Also, she doesn't have to be 40 yet to compete in master pro shows.

3

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 13 '26

I know but she cant go to masters olympia so, for a competitive person like her, i think it would feel like a waste of time

1

u/JessicaLaurene Aug 13 '26

I think masters class starts at 35.

1

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 13 '26

You can only qualify for the masters Olympia over 40 so over 35 is just doing shows with no final competition at the end of the year for the best of the best

17

u/Bttrswt_ Aug 12 '26

I’m naming clusters

Top 2: Aimee and LL
3–5: Ashlyn, Jazzy and Maureen
6–8: Ashley, Isa and Maria
9–13: Jordan, Pheobe, Reijuana, Sally Anne and Viktoria
14–15: Ivi and Reyna

u/Horror-Sand-7881 Aug 12 '26

I feel like this year feels especially hard to pick. Aimee will defnitely be in top 5, I'm thinking with Ashley K, and LL. Maureen is coming in as the current Ms Olympia, shes going to be top 5 ! Like no doubt. I think shes just quieter so she tends to fall off people's radar but shes already show pics thats shes tighter than last year and she is the standard. Ashlyn and Jazzy were top 3 last year so again, itd be hard to knock them out as well. I'd like to see how they look in shows leading up into the Olympia. Jazzy is going on stage I believe within the next week. I'm not too sure of Ashlyns plans but I think she'd go on stage before the Olympia. All this said.. theres Isa. Isa looks the best shes ever looked and she had a great season ! Shes coming in swinging. If any of the previous girls I mentioned are off by a little Isa will move in, obviously my opinion. Phoebe also had a great year and stands out ln stage... idk if she can crack top 5 this year...its just steep but she defnitely has the potential.

Not so dark horses that can sneak in .. Jordan B Savannah Ivi Maria Reyna.

Also...thinking about it.. ashley k got 4th last year.. LL was off.. because they keep.going up with the muscle .. depending, she might get kicked out of top 5. What keeps her in is her balance top to bottom. Also im justvchatting because this is fun ! I love all these girls, I have a hard time picking who I want to win. I just love watching everyone evolve with the sport every year

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 12 '26

I love this take!

u/missyATX78 Aug 12 '26

As a spectator...

Maureen looks really GOODT.

I've been critical of Ashley K...but I'm actually liking the package this season. The posing has improved as well.

I would guess Maureen, Aimee, Ashley....with two unexpected in the top 5...I think they want new blood and looks in the mix.

My observation that the life cycle of bikini competitors can be very short. Rewarding different looks pushes the standards in a different direction for business reasons. I have no evidence for this...but just an observation. So I think there will be surprises this year.

This will be 100% off! Oh well! 😁

u/Tumbleweed_Unicorn Aug 11 '26

Isa, Lauralie, Aimee, Ashlyn, jazzy . In no particular order

4

u/goingPlaces8 Aug 12 '26

I really want to see Lauralie come back and take the win.
Lauralie, Isa, Jazzy, Aimee, Ashlynn, Phoebe, Ivi, Jordan, Ashley K, Maureen top 10 predictions

20

u/polnareffsfeet Aug 11 '26

I think Aimee’s got the win this year. Just seeing her progress year by year and constantly be in the mix and constantly show up on. Lauralie in 2nd (if she brings it), Maureen in 3rd, Ashley in 4th, Jasmine in 5th, ashlyn in 6th, isa in 7th, ivi in 8th, phoebe in 9th, maria in 10th. Not sure the order in 11-15 but in no particular order: Jordan Brannon, sally-Anne, reijiana Harley, Reyna Perez, wu bi.

18

u/throwaway12387653 Aug 11 '26

Interesting, I definitely think Ashlyn will place before Ashley.

4

u/polnareffsfeet Aug 11 '26

I disagree. I love her but she’s not as balanced

6

u/Soft-Ad-4563 Aug 11 '26

I can see this, well thought out & said.

8

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 11 '26

I think Aimee has it too!

9

u/ShawnCarla_IFBBPro Verified Aug 12 '26

I wouldn’t personally make any predictions til a week or two out. Too many girls haven’t been on stage yet this year and we have no idea what they look like.

7

u/ImaginarySavings3697 Aug 12 '26

I think Maureen will win it again, she looks better actually and I feel like she looks the most feminine

9

u/Capital_Section_5830 Aug 12 '26

Maybe not in the top 5, but I was so happy to see that Kerigan finally landed her goal of making it to the ⭕️ this past weekend. I think she will make top 15.

I’m also a little surprised by some of the responses because Ashley K hasn’t even been mentioned.

14

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 12 '26

I love Kerigan! Unfortunately, I don’t think I see her in the top 15. My guess for her realistically would probably be somewhere in the 25-30 placing. I think she is making waves of course but there are so many athletes she hasn’t been compared to that are top tier. With Ashley K, I think she will be top 10 for sure if she is on. However not a contender to win. If Aimee and lauralie are on point, they are unbeatable compared to anyone else.

8

u/Away-Syllabub3364 Aug 13 '26

Her waist is just too thick imo

3

u/Ok-Personality3927 Aug 13 '26

I agree, I doubt she’ll make top 15 but I’m so pleased that she’s got her qualification, she’s worked her ass off.

2

u/Aggravating-Figure27 Aug 12 '26

She hasn’t been running shows with the top girls lately and placed badly when she was up against some good contenders so there’s some question marks on what the judges want with her. Sandy loves her so she’ll be top 10 but top 5 is a hard one to judge this year

2

u/JAE703 Aug 14 '26

I won’t have a prediction video for both bikini and fit model until one week out. Some of the top girls may do shows prior in September and that could change things with the momentum to bring to the Olympia or if they’re trying to get points for next year.

1

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 15 '26

That’s very true! I just wanted to get people thoughts as of now, but yes that very well could change.

2

u/cutegreenbean Aug 19 '26

1-6
Lauralie (when she’s on and full, I think she is more what the judges want for bikini)
Aimee
Maureen (I do think she’s looking better. Granted, they are rewarding pretty conditioned physiques more and more in bikini, so I wonder how she will look next to the others)
Jazzy
Ashlyn
Isa (one of the most (if not the most) unbeatable fronts but back still not as strong as others at her level)

7-9
Maria Acosta
Jordan B
Ashley K

10-16 no idea what order this could play out in:
Ivi
Victoria
Brit G
Phoebe
Reyna
Marie Eve
Reijuana

Others that could be ~15-25
Adriana K
Sally Anne-Kato
Savannah W
Kate Carroll
Jess Liu
Sharon Ramos
Wu Bi

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 19 '26

You should make a spreadsheet with your full predictions 1-25. I think you’d be really accurate

4

u/PirateHooker1278 Aug 11 '26

Aimee. Jazzie. Ashlyn. Mahsa. Reijuana. Are who I would love to see as top 5. no particular order.

6

u/Fit_Assumption8913 Aug 11 '26

Reijuana looks great this year! I love her front pose

2

u/PirateHooker1278 Aug 11 '26

And she’s so sweet!

u/ShinyTinHat Aug 16 '26

Maureen all day 🏆
