Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But they already got sent home! No need to boo.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sloppy writing on my part...

there was a part in the broadcast where they were booing the team who wasn't sent home. The audience CLEARLY disagreed with the judges' decision.

I felt sorry for that team, but I agreed with the audience. They were surly, but they were right.

Ah -- I heard some booing a couple of times, but wasn't really paying enough attention to really get what was going on.

Because books.

Why is Robert Irvine on NFNS? They took him off Dinner: Impossible, yes? Seems odd they'd ask him to be a guest.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think this is a testament to how far in the past this was filmed.

I believe I heard it was filmed in February.

They're still airing the Dinner Impossibles that he stared in, although they say they're not going to tape any new episodes with him. I think maybe they taped this before everything came out and they couldn't go back and re-do a challenge.

Ah. Yes, I see the winter coats now.

I felt sorry for that team, but I agreed with the audience. They were surly, but they were right.

Being someone who doesn't like confrontations, and doesn't even like watching them, I prefer to think that the audience was booing the judges' decision, rather than the team.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

well, you could be right about that as well - though I suppose that's a sort of confrontation too.
