The situation escalated quickly, with Lindsey accusing the host of targeting her and even breaking down in tears. In the end, Pooja and Jim stepped in to diffuse the situation, but was it really necessary for things to get so heated? Let’s see what the internet thinks about this culinary conundrum…
