Broadcast Notes
When the competition was aired in Australia, it started with a message stating: “Due to current legal proceedings in the U.S., the following program has been edited“. This is due to NBC & A. Smith & Co cutting ties with Drew Drechsel for legal reasons. This resulted to have Channel 9 (the broadcaster) cutting out most of the footage with Drew Drechsel, including his entire run.
