In this week’s episode of ABC’s hit series GCB, Kristin Chenoweth shows off her rack (of ribs!) as God-loving mean girl Carlene Cockburn. When the Hillside Park Church men enter an annual barbecue contest, Carlene becomes the head of their wives’ cheering squad, the Braisenettes. While Carlene is content to watch the competition from the sidelines, her rival Amanda starts her own women’s barbecue team—and Carlene is disgusted. But when the church ladies decide to join Amanda’s team, Carlene has no choice but to sabotage the event. We’ve highlighted the best Cheno-Bits from this week’s tasty episode. Praise the Lord!
