So many mixed emotions watching this very cute lovable little guy. Praise God for his beautiful wife who stuck it out with him as a friend right to the end.

Can that timer be removed? It's a bit of a shame and distraction.

[@KleosAu]

It's likely a copy from the studio, as such the timer could only be blurred not removed.

[@venderstrat]

wouldn't want to square up to him

[@Cj-ji2vh]

Terrible filming
