I agree. Barb neither actually grilled nor actually even competed. It's not entirely fair

Wasn't the entire point of the steak off to put Gav and Barb against each other because neither of them would have great experience cooking steaks? So why is Barb allow to have a teammate

You had a pro cooking a steak and then you had a Gavin... It was really just Gavin vs. Mariel and Barbara was the server.

Gavin is the people's winner for sure

[@BattleDragonGaming]

Nah shoulda been Gavin, at least he cooked

[@MrTimm]

yeah I agree with you here, it was gavin vs barb but she didnt do a thing, so that is unfair. IMO we cant compare the steaks from barb to gav since she didnt made one, if it was Gavin vs Mariel then I accept this win but since it was Gavin VS Barb, Gavin should got the point because he actually made the steaks. Atleast 60+% of the live viewers voted for Gavin so I guess he won since 60% of the community against 3 on the podcast at the other 40% of the community is a minority.

[@redneckgamer0]

@@MrTimm Also I don't think Gavin has ever really cooked. The point of this was for Gav and Barb to make steaks because they were both inexperienced. Kinda defeats the purpose if Barb didn't actually make hers.

Congrats to Muriel (is that how her name is spelled?) for winning the Steak-Off between Gavin and Barbara. It does raise some questions like why it was a problem that Gavin was out of time when the Steak-Off was originally planned to take place if they are allowed proxies to compete for them.
