Can someone explain to me how it's possible that this Amanda Doherty placed 10th and Larissa Reis placed only 14th? See pictures:

I'm not an expert, but only look at the stumach of both candidates...... Larissa has a real 6-pack, Amanda..... well..... I don't know how it's called.
Seems to be, in general, Larissa's physique is much better.

Maybe Larissa is too muscular.  That always seems to be the excuse for everything when it comes to judging.  Or maybe she forgot to kiss someone's ass.  Who knows.  Maybe a move to physique would be good for her.

Well... as far as I could see (on Hardfitness results), the Arnold's this year didn't have Physique or Bodybuilding. Only Bikini, Fitness and Figure.

You have to compare apples with apples. You're comparing Larissa posing with Amanda walking.

I'm not an expert, but objectively Amanda has superior legs whilst Larissa has better abs. There's not much to call between the arms and shoulders, and there's also not much between 10th and 14th place.

Figure is pretty much a beauty pageant these days. Nobody has any muscle lol. It does sell tickets though....much more than FBB which is why its more popular with promoters.
