As Around the World in 80 Plates keeps traversing across the globe, it's become clear that winning the show will require much more skill than just knowing how to cook, and few have mastered the strategy of it like Steve "Nookie" Postal.

With every challenge, Nookie's been one step ahead of his castmates in figuring out a self-protection strategy ... sometimes figuring out how to win a challenge by a loose interpretation of the rules, and other times simply by setting up a trap for someone else to fall into and get eliminated in turn. And, as one would expect of such a chess master, he's a damn good trash talker, too.

Enjoy this little nugget of smack-talking Nookie at his finest: Funny, insulting, witty -- to quote the master: "It's not fair to have this look and these abilities. It's the complete package."
