The Final of the MT Shape Up Challenge, 2008 - Sponsored by MuscleFinesse!! - 29 April 2008 23:54
Welcome to the Final of the MT Shape Up Challenge, 2008!!







Here it is at last, the final round of voting for the very first MT Shape Up Challenge.

From an initial field of 68 competitors, 25 determined athletes battled their way through 12 weeks of rigorous training, arduous diet and painful body hair removal to emerge triumphant and display their impressive results with nothing but a newspaper and a photoshopped smile to preserve their dignity.

After facing the perils of a member's vote in a ruthless semi-final showdown, the field of competitors has now been whittled down yet further to give us our top ten finalists, the cream of the crop, MT's finest (and Pagan ).

Once again these brave athletes come head to head, facing the public vote one final time to give us our top five competitors who will emerge as the winners and receive the glorious reward of an MT T-shirt and bragging rights for the rest of the year.

Further to that, one lucky finalist will then be chosen by the mod team as the member they feel has made the most progress during the course of this competition, their reward being £100 kindly donated by www.musclefinesse.com to be spent on their online store!

This final round of voting will remain open until 12am next Sunday evening (4th May), with the winners being announced on Monday 5th May.

As you will see, the vote count has been reset so the previous poll positions could be turned around completely, at this stage this is anybody's game so if you want to see your favorite competitor win, they need your support but more importantly your vote now more than ever.

Once again it just remains for me to wish good luck to everybody taking part in this final round and say ...

"May the best MTer win!!"


... and to everyone else that took part, great effort and better luck next time!!
