hmmm, I must be the odd "woman" out on the Leeann topic....do you really think if she had a moustache as thick as Myron's, she would have been asked to be on the show ? I think if you're a pretty woman and it happens to garner some form of attention or perks, yeehaa.....I'd like to believe that george clooney gets the same consideration from waitresses in a restaurant. Somehow in seven years of competing I haven't heard any negative comments when I've won a call to the stage, the guys have been very congratulatory. If I'm having trouble backing up a trailer, I appreciate the offer for help. Anyone at Oinktoberfest will tell you I've had ALL kinds of help when i've needed it, but I didn't check someone's gender to decide whether to accept it. I just said thanks a lot ! To say that some or even most guys in bbq fail to give acknowledgement and credit when it's due is just plain reverse discrimination in my book. I do believe there are some woman in bbq that have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to "being in a man's world"......relax and enjoy it I say. And learn how to take a damn joke cause there's bound to be lots of em.....just make sure you have some good comebacks.....sheesh, maybe I HAVE been hangin with the guys waaay too long.
