Thanks to all Pauline's hard work Team Emerge strikes again with another huge blow to the figure world.

Over the course of her training she built muscle and lost fat revealing a beautiful and fit female form.

Everyone was blown away by her and she was one of (if not) the best competitors on stage that day. We look forward to future shows and we will be following the advice of Rudy the head judge "change nothing, she looks perfect!"

Congratulations Pauline, enjoy the next few days off and then get ready to blow everyone off the stage in Mississauga!

Your family was beaming at the show, they were all so proud of thier mom (and wife of course). We are all proud of you and proud to be associated with such a great competitor and person.

Your trainer,

Darrin

Pauline we luv ya!! You proved once again if you have a dream and a goal, you can achieve anything you put your mind/heart into.

You are a great friend and I was honoured to be a part of this journey!!

Shawn and Darrin were very proud guys sitting in the audience!!

I think the audience reaction said it all when the 2nd was announced...you have to get the video...there was complete silence and everyone's jaw dropped, even boo's were heard. You deserved 2 firsts and in our eyes you ARE the champion of both classes!!!

Have a great day and enjoy your victories to the fullest!!

LA:)

she looked amazing guys..i think the judges really dropped the ball on this call..yup..retribution in Mississauga!!

Sounds to me like the judging in these events, first Edmonton and now Stratford, is going the way the judging was in figure skating Olympic events.

Hope they get their act together before they take the incentive away from the competitors from bad judging.

All they have to do is listen to the audio of the video to know that Pauline was really first.

Can't wait to see you in Mississauga.

Oh my gosh, this is all so flattering!! Thank you for all your gracious compliments!! It was such a great day for me and I'm still riding on a high!!
My true thanks go out to my "Team Emerge" trainer and coach and "friends" Darrin and LA!! You guys made this all possible for me, and I just don't know where to begin to thank you!! You believed in me and supported me in every way possible throughout these past 4 months, and I couldn't have done this without such great leaders as yourselves!! You two are quite a team, and I'm proud to be part of it!!

I'm really on a serious binge today! (just got back from The Mandarin!!) now I feel like throwing up!! LOL!!

I can't wait to get back on track this week and prepare for Mississauga!!! I want to really give it my all!!!........I guess you call that kick butt?!! LOL!!

Pauline ;-)

Thanks again for everyone's support!!

I was in the audience and the judging for your figure class was awful. You were the stand out by far. Be proud and keep going .

Hi Honey,

Spent all my money, quit my job, decided NOT to get married! Moving in with you this week-end and bringing 2 cats and your new baby brother!
Looking forward to Darrin's wonderful meals!!!!!

Love,
Mom

Hay Karen
Not a good idea, sorry to hear your marriage is off, I guess you are going to raise the baby alone, dont look to Darrin for baby sitting, I cant even get him to find the time to look after Snuggles and she is potty trained.I know Darrin loves you but dont push it, he told me if ever he had to look after me in my old age, he would put me in the basement and let Rio change my depends and I am his mom, so you stand about as good a chance of moving in as I do,as for your baby well 0000000000000000000.LOL.
Love you Kay.

Hi Pauline,

I can only speak for myself, but I had you in first place for both classes. Rudy, who was right beside me as head judge also had you in first. Feel proud. Don't let 2nd discourage you. Maybe some "expert" can explain to you how it was "politics" and "fixed." LOL.
Good luck and see you in Mississauga.

Lori-Ann said...

Thanks for the post James, you are a great friend and great OPA JUDGE:):):)-always willing to chat and give us amazing feedback so we can be the best OPA athletes we can!! We truly appreciate your honesty and intregity:):):)

After we talked to ya on Saturday and D spoke with Rudy..and I reviewed the pics...wow..my mind was still boggled..lol.

At least we know after speaking with you and Rudy that the scores were soooooooooo close that it was only a point or 2 difference. It could've gone either way for sure.

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger!! And that's what competing is all about:):) Adding a little fuel to the fire is a good thing..keeps us down to earth..and hungry to go out and keep on going...lol.....

Thanks again James:)

You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! whatta a superb group "team" of people here! You are all very supportive of one another. This is very refreshing to see in this world especially in this sport. I wish i lived in Canada to be a part of team Emerge but i'll just have to live through your blog for now.

Hey James,

Regardless of that "2nd" placing, I was still very proud of myself and so was my family!! :) I have heard some controversy over that call, but it is what it is. I do appreciate your feedback and I guess you could say that this has only motivated me to work that much harder for Mississauga!!

It was great to see you as one of the judges.........I'm sure it's not an easy job at times!!

I had a very rewarding first experience at "Figure" and I look forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks!!! (looking better then ever!)

Thanks!!.......to both you and Rudy!!!!

Pauline ;-)
