I saw the show. I think Chicken got axed because he wanted to be the smart guy of the group one minute and then when he did not get his way (or didn't get everyone to say "yea you are so smart, that log will not hold") he pulled away. It was an easy choice for me. it was funny when he got cut and he yelled "D***" and walked away.
That gravedigger is cut up isn't he? Almost like myself.
