      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).

    As much as I would’ve hated Sean’s calzone because it would’ve been a soggy mess after 2 minutes… albeit the first 2 minutes must’ve been glorious….I don’t think Babish’s “calzone” is really a calzone since it doesn’t have a sauce nor cheese! Sean should’ve won by default.

    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.

    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.

    Still at the beginning of the vid but I give my vote to Sean. Hardly any difference at all between beef wellington and the calzone version

      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.
