And Chris, even if they'd lost, Busey might not have been fired. I'm glad Backbone won .. Meat's someone who sets out to win, and the team deserved it.
Meat's doing a magnificent job, yet you keep bringing us back to the only thing he was upset about in all the episodes he was in .. and that's ALL the episodes. The reputation he's gaining on the show for someone who's focused, intelligent,watchful, works hard, keeps things and the team going, and is a major contributor to Backbone's success is surely the thing we should be keeping to the forefront and celebrating? He's well liked and respected by his team mates, and I expect that to continue. At this stage we still have no idea of what happened apart from a few seconds on a promo clip .. a few seconds exchange (with someone who's already getting paranoid about plots behind his back, and aggressively tackling anyone who offers him any criticism whatsoever, however carefully delivered,) out of 13 hours broadcasting and twice as many days hard graft? Seems a shame to me that this keeps overshadowing (to use Pud's description, as this is one of those occasions when I agree with him) the "stellar" performance he's delivering. Can't we focus on what we have seen in context, and how good that's been, rather than keep beating our breasts about something we really know little about.
Frankly anyone who doesn't watch the shows but is turned off Meat through solely watching a few seconds on a promo clip is imo rather like someone deciding he can't perform based on a couple of lines in a newspaper review. Those who watch the shows will imo probably when seeing it in context understand, and will remain impressed by all the positives they see in how he works throughout the series.
