The FLEX Bikini Model Search Online winners
344
FLEX | MAR. ’09
Brought to you by Champion Nutrition, the five-month FLEX Bikini Model Search Online contest featured hundreds of
contestants and nearly 500,000 total votes. Our six winners — one each in months one through four and two in month
five — were selected through a two-week voting period on flexonline.com, and automatically qualified for the 16-woman
finals of the FLEX Bikini Model Search in Las Vegas during the 2008 Olympia Weekend.
Sound good? It gets better. The lucky online winners were also featured in the following deliciously sinful pictorial, shot
at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa’s sprawling three-acre pool grounds and inside the 10,000-square-foot luxury penthouse suite. So, without further ado, here are your six FLEX Bikini Model Search Online winners. They get our vote.

Residence Toronto, Canada
“The photo shoot was awesome!
The suite was crazy. They had flat
screens in the bathrooms and the
boys from FLEX were there
talking and having a good time.
We did a cool shower and hot
tub scene, complete with
drinks. They were fake, but it
was still tons of fun.”

BUCKLES
Age 26
Height 5'7"
Weight 118 pounds
Residence Fort Worth,
Texas
“I had such a blast! The hotel
room was amazing! It was a
once-in-a-lifetime thing,
because I’d never be able to
afford a room like that by
myself. Now I know what it
feels like to be a high roller.”
MONTH THREE
Jamie
WRIGHT
Age 26
Height 5'4"
Weight 115 pounds
Residence Dallas, Texas
“I was surprised by the variety of
girls — we had a great mix. Having
my best friend Jen Buckles there
made it extra special. We were
running around, acting silly and
being our normal goofy selves.
I was very grateful to be picked
to do it.”

“I’ve never seen so many beautiful girls
under one roof. At the photo shoot, pillow

done shoots before, but this one
was the hottest by far.”

“The fact that it was a
bikini contest for
contestants with muscle
was a special treat. I was
a little nervous at the
photo shoot because it
was my first time in a
sexy bedroom setting,
but the photographer
gave me great direction
and the other girls were
very helpful.”
