Hi there,
Could you help me with the following sentences?
1. The judges didn't have to bush you, guys,. You took care of that on you own. (what does the second sentence mean?)
2. All they had to do was agree on one thing. (Is it also correct to say:'...to do was to agree....?')
3. You are only as good as your help. ( What does it mean?)
Thank a lot.

Thank you for your answers. I still have some questions regarding theses three statements. Could you help me?
The judges didn't have to bush ( the word which means 'criticize'. I guess I used the wrong word) you, guys,.
You took care of that on you own. (Does it mean that the judges didn't criticize you, but you criticize yourself?)

The judges didn't have to bush you - I'm assuming this is a slang contraction for "ambush.'' The judges didn't have to trick you [into making an incriminating statement, would be the implication].
You took care of that on your own- you did that yourself; you are the one responsible for that; you did that to yourself.
You took care of that on your own- you did that yourself; you are the one responsible for that; you did that to yourself.

You took care of that on you own. (Does it mean that the judges didn't criticize you, but you criticized yourself?) Yes.
2a All they had to do was agree on one thing.
2b All they had to do was to agree on one thing.
Both are correct. "Agree" is the bare infinitive, "to agree" is the full infinitive. In this

Hi
As a Londoner, I'm chancing my arm here, but is it not to do with a "bush league" being a very junior and amateur league in US sport?
- It wasn't the judges that made you feel low - relegated you - that was something you did to yourselves
