But what's really stirring up discussions is the reaction of Tonio Burton, who finished in second place. You see, Tonio feels he had the edge in conditioning and detail, but Rafael's larger muscle size ultimately won him the crown.

And that's not all! Tensions seem to be running high between these two giants of bodybuilding. In fact, Rafael responded to Tonio's claims on social media with some interesting anecdotes. According to Rafael, when Tonio trained at his gym, he showed up wearing only underwear and even clogged his toilet!

Now, let's delve into the judging process itself. It was quite unusual this year - instead of comparing top three placers at once, they were compared 2 at a time alternatingly. This approach allowed Rafael to clinch a rest before anyone else had a chance to compete with him directly. Some fans are questioning whether there was indeed hometown favoritism at play here?
