      Interesting that the competition was a calzone competition, and neither contestant made a calzone, and then they were judged by which dish was the most christmassy, not on which dish was the best calzone (or perhaps, least not-calzone).

    I love beef wellington, it's super tasty, but the idea of an italian beef calzone sounds amazing. Especially if you had a big tub of gravy, (not poured on), to submerge each bite into before eating would be heavenly. Would also fit with the theme of the calzone since you usually get a side of marinara to dip into.

      I get the feeling he was gonna make Beef Wellington for some friends as a meal and he pivoted to the calzone idea as a way to bring back Sean. Maybe. I do think they shared the wellington calzone after the filming at least.

    This needs to be redone! How are either of those calzones?! Clearly what constitutes a calzone was not discussed beforehand.

    The judge gave the win to the man who signs his paychecks? Shocker.
    Great episode through and through! Botched is definitely my favorite series in the BCU.

    I'd love to see you make Cyborg's Sphagetti with triple meat sauce from Teen Titans episode, "Titans East Part 2"

    I still think Sean won. When I think calzone, I think about the fillings. Andy's just seemed more like a twice wrapped Wellington

    A fun episode! I have to say I'm more intrigued by Sean's Italian beef calzone concept, but I'd eat either version with gusto.
