So here's the backstory on Avery's pronunciation of pecan:

One of the other contestants said "pee-can" so they all started making fun of each other and the different ways they all said it. This apparently lasted throughout the day and as they were still goofing off at the time of filming, Avery said "pee-can" on camera.

For what it's worth, she is from BR and says it like most here in town. I was a bit surprised when I heard it on the show as well....not that any of that matters.

Show airs again tomorrow at 7:00 on Fox. Please watch if you can.
