Live from the 2008 NPC Junior USAs

Live from the 2008 NPC Junior USAs ... We're all back hanging out at the hotel after a long prejudging. Finished the same time as last year - 330pm. Six figure classes, lots of girls. We had three girls in this show - Noel Clark, Laura Rose and Hollie Higdon. Laura was up first in Class B - I think 20-some odd girls. She got called out in the third set of call outs.
