My 2 cents trying to tie all the rumors up in a neat little package. Cohen and Schloss had gotten pretty far along, Cohen wanted to wait for McDonnell’s season to end to interview him as well. Schloss got pissed and pulled his name. McDonnell interviewed and gave it serious thought but backed out, but at that time pointed Cohen in Lemonis direction. Cohen interviews Lemonis and loves him. Schloss tries to get back in, but Cohen already has his man in Lemonis.
