heres what really happened:
GUY: be careful
simon: that was a threat
paula. yeah, that was a threat. etc etc

simon was the first person to say it was a threat but as usual in All the media stories, the focus is on paula. most stories dont even mention that simon also said the threat thing and that he said it Before her!

Simon was the first person to ask him if it was a threat. Paula only said it after simon did. and kara seemed scared too. and honestly, can you blame paula? we all know whats happened between her and psycho contestants!

I’m from KY and it is a common expression. If I’m leaving work I tell my co-worker to be careful quite often, especially if I know she is traveling a lot.

I hate the fact that no matter what we do, they will always try to find a way to stereotype KY and make us all look bad. It’s sad that that type of prejudice is still considered acceptable when racism and sexism are so highly fought against. Who is standing up for the “mountain folk” and why is it okay to make fun of them?

There was no misunderstanding! The judges are just ignorant. I am from the south and it is a very normal comment. I feel sorry for the guy!
