Though each title had only two contenders, the quality of contestants
and their energy made for an impressive showing and a crowd-pleasing affair.

after competing against Jeff Smotherman (Mr. Cowtown Leatherman, Fort Worth).
The power-packed judging panel included International LeatherSIR 2005

But on Fri, Jun 27, contest judges found themselves on the other
side of questioning during a hilarious round of The Weakest Link,

performance by Mr. Marcus.
