Last night's episode 2/25
I guess they do pay attention to what the viewers think. There was literally no Chumlee until the last 2 minutes. He wasn't in on any of the deals, no stupid skits and/or side stories. It's been great the last few episodes as it seems they are reducing his air time to almost nothing. And the short time he was on last night was after all the deals were done when they were going into the next show.
Although in that 2 minutes he did make fun of Rick and made up some stupid wrestling name for his self. I wonder if a Chumlee-free show is upcoming. We can only hope.
