I knew Nyla was going to lose when she said it should take you at least 2 hours to make a seafood boil. ALL her seafood was overcooked. LMAO

[jazmynm]

I feel like I can always tell who’s gonna win just based on personality lol

[itsamething]

Nyla's dish looked like gumbo rather than a boil. I would take Stephanie's boil any day...just gotta bring my own seafood boil sauce.

[jaydubbs]

Having a seafood boil with nobody from Louisiana is crazy work.

[AntiSociableWallflower]

I like that the one who won had the best constructive criticism. Her seafood boil looked so good. Old girl didn't want to even try other people's food. Why are you there??

[spoonz]

Let’s get a staff member on each episode to try each dish as well. I feel like it’s always somebody lowballing the score so they have a better chance of winning

[aaliyahnicole]

I knew Nyla wasn’t going to win when she said the food was cooked separately as if it were a problem 😂

[lilyakers]

I'm from Louisiana, and my grandpa makes the BEST seafood boils! If anyone ever wants an authentic seafood boil, Louisiana is definitely the place to go! 🦐🦞🦀

[FlawdaPeach]

Speaking as a native from Jacksonville, FL, I have NEVER seen a mush crab boil. Nyla had all that stuff to say about the other ladies but completely missed on hers. That was definitely a huge miss. Sorry to all the DUVAL family who witnessed this horrific seafood tragedy.😢

[SolaiDanae]

Nyla got humbled. I always wonder if they got the same energy at restaurants. Like if they order a boil and i’ts salty… do they spit it out? I really doubt that. Stephanie’s boil looked very beautiful, i’m glad that she won

[LilShawtyWood]

As a Floridian, who grew up with the privilege to eat seafood regularly…..I HAVE NEVER, seen seafood cooked that way!😢😅

[shinchan]

The lady in blue was so gorgeous and elegant. I loved how she voiced her opinions and her dish looked fantastic as well!

[NaKoleWatson]

Nyla talked that trash and then gave us fake sausage, crabless seafood soup. You really do hate to see it!!!

[AmyLeeAngelLove]

There should always be a professional chef at the end tasting everyone's dish to be fair. Find someone like Gordon Ramsey. That would be very entertaining lol.

[moniquew]

"Husband level work..boyfriends ain't getting this!" I feel you girl. That plate looked so good!😋

[sanna]

3:06 maryland being her answer was CRAZY

[tiaratene]

As a Marylander who recently just made a seafood boil; I’m truly happy that Florida girl lost so bad because don’t you ever disrespect Maryland seafood like that. Texas deserved to win because she knew there’s no seafood boil without old bay! Maryland is not touchable when it comes to the seafood game PERIOD!

[ayeyoedy]

Wish they had a girl from Louisiana. You don't get a lot of variety of seafood in the boil, but you do get some variety in the vegetables and them mfs suck up all the heat so if you like it spicy, you'd love the veggies. Not to mention, the flavor. But I'd love to try the kinda boils these girls have done as far as ingredients and flavors go. I love seeing how different flavors are done in different states.

[BarivureY]

Lol eggs can most definitely be in a boil! Another great video! 💗

[jojobunny]

I’m from Alaska but my family roots are in South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. We use Alaskan king crab, shrimp, clams, mussels, kielbasa sausage, corn and potatoes. So good!
