Here is the screencap gallery.

Some thoughts on these caps (thanks for putting them on the site, Lingster).

1/  Shelly Yakimchuk is hot.

2/  Shelly Yakimchuk is hot.

3/  Shelly Yakimchuk's mother isn't exactly tiny either – no doubting where she got the biggest proportion of her looks and her physique from.

4/  1 + 2 + 3 = Shelly Yakimchuk's mother is pretty hot herself.

5/  I'd better stop saying how hot Shelly Yakimchuk is, 'cos her husband is ginormous and could probably turn me inside-out with his little finger.

6/  The mysterious Rita is hot full-stop (or should I say "period"?), but for a granny she's incredible (blimey, I sound like Wayne Rooney).

7/  Gayle Mohre is sexy, althugh I can't work-out what's going-on with the skin on her neck and just above her clothes.

8/  Nicole Bass isn't QUITE as scary as I feared, though she still gives me the willies (creeps, whatever).

9/  ROFL at Lingster's caption to the last image in the series.

10/  Shelly Yakimchuk is hot.  Ooops 😀

Down boy, down, I think we all can agree that Shelly is an uberbabe . . .  ;D

Now after having reviewed it, the program came off far better then I expected and was on the positive level of programs that covered the subject of FBBing in the past, such as Montel Williams or Maury Povich.  The host, Dr Keith Ablow, was respectful, seemed even taken with the concept of FBBing – or I should say, the guests like Shelly.  The audience, when the camera panned them, seemed relatively neutral – though I did noticed a negative expression popping out every once in a while.  The few questioners had none of the ambush-rudeness element that you might normally expect from daytime talkshow television, if anything they seemed genuinely curious.  And it was rather cute when one of them, a woman, asked Shelly's huge husband to flex a bicep for her.

Downside elements I could have done without would have been Shelly's mother and of course, as previously stated by Lingster, Nicole Bass.

Was Shelly's mother against what she does?  Perhaps the unfortunately-named Dr Ablow is a closet schmoe?  (Blimey, that rhymed!)

Was Shelly's mother against what she does?

Yes, didn't approve in the least and has never supported her daughter's lifestyle choice.

Her mother partly blamed Shelly's husband for leading her daughter into bodybuilding, of this he didn't deny entirely.  After all, how could you not be exposed to the concept if your husband is so deeply into the lifestyle himself.  Even so, Shelly spoke up in his defence that it was done of her own choosing.

They showed pictures of what Shelly formerly looked like before taking up bodybuilding and she was not bad looking, but had all the proportions of a toothpick. Her mother would have preferred that she continued her career in modeling.  Also, I got the impression that she's a controlling personality – but then some parents never do accept the fact that their children grow up and as adults (in Shelly's case, she's a mother of two teenaged children) have lives of their own.

Hello all, thanks for the recap.  Glad to hear it wasn't as bad for female bodybuilding as some prvious shows have been. 

Also, thanks to Lingster for the vid caps 🙂

If you'd said that Shelly's mum didn't like the fact that she'd given-up, say a high-flying career in finance to do FBB, then I'd understand, but how is it that much different to modelling?  And, given then fact that three (albeit Brazillian) catwalk models have died in the last year or so from complications resulting from anorexia, you'd have thought that she'd be relieved that her daughter was away from that environment, although BB isn't often the healthiest environment either, I suppose.  What amuses me is that her mum looked (from the screencaps), to be quite strongly-built as well, although it may have been distortion or the camera telling lies.

Seems that (and not surprisingly) this topic is also being discussed over on the Unrealmuscle forums . . . including an appearance by our very own Mighty Lingster.

BTW – nice touch in (heh heh) "revenging" yourself, boss.

There's some decent people running the Unreal Muscle forums, but the asshole quotient among the posters is much, much higher than at Amaz0ns.

I worry a lot about this site losing its civility.  And I probably shouldn't admit this, but when I see a really, really obnoxious SOB on Unreal or one of the other forums, sometimes I lock the username here on Amaz0ns so that they can't sign up with the same name here.  I consider it preventive maintenance.

That's a pretty smart move. I post there occasionally, but I find some of those guys… "sticky"….. 😛
