Bucky was one of the unfortunates hauled out to center stage and made to wait through a commercial break to find out whether he'd been axed. And today his wife, who watched it on TV, told the hometown newspaper:

"He doesn’t handle stuff like that. He can see blood and he faints."

I'm sure he'll thank her later for outing him as a fainter. I assume this means all the good-ol'-boy hunting jokes the recappers at TWoP have been making are way off the mark?

His twin brother, Rocky, had this to say on his brother being terrorized on television:

"Man, that ain’t right."

I've mentioned he's southern, haven't I?

Is it any wonder I'm rooting for him??
