Pointless bartender on “Triple Threat”

[u/Important_Kangaroo41]

Why is she there but to add to the contrived studio/bar setting? The Bobby Flay shows are so overproduced with the fake engagement and the unnecessary angst about how everyone there wants Flay to lose.

Also, did she have some kind of facial injury? Looks like her face is caved in.

I just wish they would introduce her once or something, it’s so awkward how they interact with her fairly frequently yet she doesn’t say anything or look at the camera at all. It feels very Downton Abbeyish where the servers are not allowed to interact with the “higher” folks

I’ve seen this done better in another show where they periodically remind us the bartender’s name and he just sends a little wave while they get back to the interview/program
