Pat can beat Joey at wings but can’t beat Tim Brown or Shawn Gordon? Is it just me or does something seem a bit odd? I’m guessing Booker and several others probably had negative totals. Apparently another well-run contest.

The contest was a competitive and fair one. Nobody complained about the totals but some had a hard time with the overcooked sauceless wings. Pat is a great competitor and made no gripes about his 4th place finish. Flash cleaned his wings and gravy was an animal. US male and Badland Booker were 5th & 6th and tore up some wings as well.
Sonya was on her game and kicked ass. Congrats Black Widow . The crowd loved her

I think she expected the same crew as last year. When she found out pat and tim were going her manager/husband advised her to sit it out

Most impressed by Flash Gordan. Had a chance to eat with him much and he is my choice for Rookie of the Year.
