Reba McEntire came in last place in a chili cookoff that was judged by Rex Linn. Despite being a cute couple in country music, Reba and Rex still compete fiercely in cook-off contests.
McEntire recently took part in a Hillbilly Chili Cookoff where Linn was a judge, but their friendship did not influence the judging process.
McEntire ended up finishing in the last place. As a result, she received a humorous booby prize trophy, which was a chili pepper being flushed down a toilet.
Always willing to have fun, McEntire posted a video on her social media of her not-so-great performance in a cooking competition, even showing her gracefully accepting the fact that she came in last place.
The complete video below depicts the entire event, and also has some additional interesting details. For instance, country singer Terri Clark was present and ended up in second place.
In a recent appearance on CBS Mornings, Reba McEntire discussed her unsuccessful experience at a chili cookoff and acknowledged that she has a clear understanding of what went awry.
She realized that she forgot to add spices to the dish she was making. However, she added chili powder and hatch green chilis to make up for it, thinking it would still turn out well. She was following a recipe from Texas and was very excited about it.
Despite being Linn's girlfriend, she still ended up in last place. According to McEntire, her relationship with Linn may have softened the blow when she was told the news by the judges.
Rex, one of the judges, approached me and privately told me the outcome. He expressed his regret and informed me that I did not win.
Then he gave me the award, which turned out to be a chili pepper inside a toilet. So, I ended up jokingly pretending to use the toilet.
Putting humor aside, McEntire discussed her connection with Linn and the reasons behind its success. They have been acquainted for a long time, meeting in 1991 during the filming of The Gambler Returns. However, their romantic feelings didn't develop until they reconnected in 2020. During that time, McEntire was married to her husband Narvel Blackstock, with whom she has a son named Shelby.
During a conversation with Rex, McEntire wondered why they hadn't met sooner. Rex pointed out that she had been married before, which may have been a factor. McEntire describes Rex as fun and energetic, while she has mellowed over time. She believes they have crossed paths at the perfect moment in their lives.
After that, McEntire is going to Las Vegas to perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Additionally, she is working on a new comedy show that will involve reuniting with some of the people who worked on her popular TV series, Reba.
