View StoryAbby Huntsman appreciated the drama the moment brought to what she considered an otherwise snooze of a show.
"I was watching it live and these shows have become so boring, they're not funny and this was the moment that took everyone by surprise," she said. "I thought it was such a sweet moment, I wish we had more moments like this on television."
