Ashley Kaltwasser and Lauralie Chapados are two of the biggest competitors in Bikini with a long list of recent success, including at the Arnold. This duo headlined the first callout, along with Ashlyn Little, who finished as the runner-up during the Olympia.
The judges went through four callouts, splitting up a six-person first callout over the final two. Chapados and Little were called out in the final three with Aimee Delgado. Each competitor spent time in the center of the stage so judges could get a better look. Chapados fell down the scorecard during the Olympia, finishing sixth after her first victory in 2024. She has a great history on the Arnold stage with three wins and is looking to add another.
After her performance in October, Little might be the competitor to beat, but the judges did not share much with the callouts among the top three. It will be interesting to see how the division plays out during the finals on Saturday night. Below, check out a full breakdown of the prejudging report.
