During the February 24 episode, Blanco was seen sitting barefoot on Lil Dicky’s couch, prompting several viewers to comment on what they believed were his 'dirty' feet. Social media users criticised the apparent lack of hygiene and questioned why he had his feet up on the couch in full view of the camera.
