Zack is confirmed for the Play by Play, we weren't too sure as he was going to shoot back to Sheffield on the Saturday night and not come for the finals but Robbie Durand and I put our heads together and put the thumb screws on Khan and he IS IN!!!!

Zack just called me from work and he ASSURES me he will BRUTALLY honest and not hold back, expect honesty, crazy humour, good ol' British sarcasm but overall a brilliant PLAY BY PLAY FROM KING KHAN!!!

[ZACK-KHAN]

It a honour to be part of the Player by Player Report.... dont worry i will be reporting as a fan, so what i see thats what i will report.. there will be no biased reports to my fellow British competitors. So roll on the British Grand Prix.... where we will see who spits the dummy. :P

[Don Newkirk]

This is going to be killer.....

[brgrr]

After last blog from Zack I can't even imagine how he will describe his impressions from the athletes
It's gonna be like this: "Yo, this mof* is f**king big, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout? That's my man, you know wha' I mean!"
LOL

Can't wait to Branch's and Roelly's shape.

[ParadiseCup]

can't wait to see Flex hit the stage after taking last year off

[corland45]

Dorian Yates will win

[Mike]

Team MD is in Place there in the UK. Between the drinks, and eating, and all that other stuff, Dorian takes the time to sign an autograph for a fan.

[icxnamjah]

Zack would easily win if he competed in this show. I can't wait for you to step back on stage bro.

David Hoffman is looking awesome as well.

[Giles]

Awesome, you got that up quick Shawn!

Robbie Durand has uploaded the interview we filmed (Shawn interviewing and me filming) with Roelly and Branch...Had some sound problems on some of the other clips, we can redo tomorrow Shawn...Robbie spotted the issues and they're rectified now...

Hey Shawn, tell them about your trip from Heathrow to the venue when we picked you and Steve Weinberger this morning mate!

Oh by the way Shawn, guess who got landed with the check for the WHOLE table tonight? ME! But Robbie saved my bacon...I'll be having words with our guests who joined us tomorrow...I was ready to leave thinking everyone had paid!

[Mike]
