Yes, but to speculate about what though? A brief minute in one yet unseen episode when everyone was tired and Meat lost control for a moment or two? And something (in fact the one thing in the series) which he was really upset about afterwards? There are 13 episodes, and so far we've seen two in which everything Meat has done has been exemplary. I can understand the programme producers wanting to home in on any outburst .. it's clearly what they hope will happen; and it's the kind of thing the media love to hype. I'm just surprised that here we would want to put so much emphasis on it, and talk about Meat "confronting" as if it's something he does a lot of. I can't help but feel if there were other occasions they would have gleefully released footage of it. Last week Eric Trump claimed (rather inaccurately imo) that Meat and Gary were already "at each others' throats" .. something I didn't see, and if it were so I certainly wouldn't expect them to edit it out.

What I did see, and what impressed me was how well he managed an issue last week with Gary Busey, gently, skillfully and effectively. Meat's all about drive and focus on whatever he's doing. Busey seems to me to be someone whose focus keeps darting off at tangents, which must be frustrating for anyone who's very task-focused, but Meat managed the interaction extremely well. I'm not looking for him to trip up, and on his showing to date expect to see him manage himself through the series really well.
