Hey friends!
It was a long and lively 10+ days for Las Vegas, and as much as we love it, it feels good to get back into the routine of normal life. For the ladies, we can finally take a break from putting on full faces of makeup every day and wearing uncomfortable shoes (my ankles are still swollen BTW), and the men can hopefully start spending frugally again.
Iβve had a lot of time to reflect on my trip being on bed rest with a respiratory infection, and thereβs several lessons I learned while in Sin City this year. For one, carry hand sanitizer and donβt ever touch your mouth. Donβt fill empty water bottles with champagne, treat your body and your spirit well, and watch more Bullfighters Only.


With Furr, Rutkowski, and Call down to the Championship round, things were about to heat up even more. Rutkowski put on a fabulous performance, winning the whole ordeal with a 90.5 (even with 15 staples in his head from the Roughy Cup), making him a 2x BFO World Champion.

Bottom line: It was a pleasure. The BFO event is a growing crowd favorite. Itβs tough, tumultuous, and western- the kind of event that will keep you on your toes the entire time. If I have any tips for next year, Iβd say to purchase tickets ahead of time to avoid the long box office line, and arrive at least a half an hour early to get a good seat. Snag some freebies and a cold beverage outside of the tent before heading inside. Purchase your merch before the show begins, and stick around until the end because the contestants sign autographs.
Congratulations to all of the participants and the hard work they put in to make the event memorable. Iβm giving the 2017 BFO Championship 4.5/5 stars due to lack of seating in the venue.
