HUMBLE PIE ($66,000 – $71,500)

Ever wonder where the expression "eat humble pie" comes from?

The phrase dates back to the Middle Ages, when a successful hunt was often followed by a grand feast hosted by the Lord of the Manor.

As you might expect, the Lord and his distinguished guests were served the finest cuts of meat.

Everyone else? Not so much.

Those of lower social standing were often served pies made from the less desirable parts of the animal, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and intestines. These organs were known as "umbles."

The dish became known as "umble pie."

Being served umble pie was a clear reminder of your place in the social hierarchy. It was a meal associated with lower status and, for many, a measure of humiliation.

Over time, "umble pie" evolved into "humble pie," and the phrase came to mean admitting you're wrong, accepting criticism, or swallowing your pride after a mistake.

So, what does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? 

Nothing.
