She looks like the leanest competitor on stage.

^the hope was she didn't come in the leanest on stage. Typically the way it works in the judges mind is not to look for the best in people, but to look for flaws. It would be easy for a judge to say 'too lean', 'not lean enough', 'too muscular', etc. The goal is to fall right in the middle of all those 'flaws'... IE - not be too anything. In that line-up, she was probably one of the leaner ones, if not the leanest. The first call out, had a couple who were leaner, including the winner.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread about how tricky it is to get the perfect amount of everything. And as Ange says 'you are only as lean as your fattest bodypart'. Probably the hardest part to figure out because had she come in less tight, her lower glutes / hams would have stuck out as being not conditioned. In the end, I think we got it right! We were just talking about it yesterday, at the pro level, the top girls really have different genetic structure. Wider frame, clavicle width, etc. Quad sweep etc. Ange is genetically a straighter shape. I'm definitely impressed with what she was able to look like. #1 in my books!
