But here's the thing about the Big Buddy family: we don't stop. πŸ‘€

Next up? 🦞 Crawfish King Cook-Off β€” this Friday, May 1st, Downtown Baton Rouge. 50+ teams. And the best crawfish in the city all fighting for the crown.

The party's not over. It's just changing its shoes!

🚨 LAST LEADERBOARD UPDATE BEFORE THE SHOW! 🚨
Craig bolted ahead by 60 votes overnight β€” it seems he is DETERMINED to win this thing. πŸ‘‘πŸ’¨ But don't count out Dr. Sunshine just yet. She's made leaps before. Could she have one more in her?

⚑ True Webb is holding strong in 3rd β€” but is she done climbing? Second place is right there. And hey... so is first.

Meanwhile, don't sleep on the rest of the board:
πŸ”₯ Regina is hot on Cassie and LaMont's heels
πŸ“ˆ Travis shot from 10th to 8th overnight β€” that's 61 votes. In one night. But Renita is close behind him, widening her lead over Dan!

Is this leaderboard settling down... or is one final shakeup coming? πŸ‘€

The ONLY way to find out is to be in the room when winners are announced LIVE on stage tomorrow night. πŸŽ€πŸ†

🚨 LEADERBOARD SHAKEUP. 🚨

Overnight, everything changed β€” and we are NOT playing around anymore.
