Wish I was able to see it live.
I gotta give it to you @brutus79 , this pose alone from last night pre judging kai is beating out phil. Kai has improved his conditioning drastically from last year. Which I don't even know how he won second with it last year. But this year he seems to be on point.

My thought is you can always tell if guys are at their peak and in shape is by looking at their lower back and abs. I think both Kai and Heath were off a bit, Heath being a hair better. Now if look at the photos of Shawn Rhoden, his lower back and abs are grainy, thin skinned. He is lacking in some mass compared to those guys and lower lats but he look good, but not close enough to take it from Heath.from these photos I'm still going with Heath. Heath arms and legs are more shredded than Kai. neither ones mid section is showing abs. either the pic was caught mid flex or they are starting to hold water. Heath has better conditioning than Kai. to much politics in BB. the times these guys should get beat they don't and when they should win they don't. WTF!

Kai's theatrics on stage during comparisons probably did not help his bid.
That guy is a beast! all photos here: http://contest.bodybuilding.com/results/28752true, I've only seen the photos posted here. I just watched the press conference of Heath and Kai. Kai just fucking rambles about stupid shit. Heath spanked both George Ferra and Kai's ass in mental wit. I think the next Mr. O will be this guy. I can't think of his name atm. he just needs to improve his back and he will beat Heath. IMHO

Branch has shitty skin. His back looks like trash compared to others... I love him, but...thanks. from the pics Rhoden should not of been in the top 5. his back was all smooth. Kai was improved, but not enough to beat Heath. not sure why Branch doesn't place better.

I been watching the pose downs and Kai will never be Mr. O with that gut and being a damn baby all the time.
Politics are playing a role here as well,but even physique wise I don't see Kai being able to make the same improvements that Phil is able to make. Phil Heath is still very young and it seems every top level competitor comes to a point where there really isn't any moving forward, and a lot of time their development has a tendency to go backwards...I think that is where Kai is, whereas Phil Heath still has plenty of time and room to make improvements.
