The Judges have always appeared to be true professionals. I do not see them throwing a competition based on a past colleague. Also, this is not the first time a judge has appeared on the show who has some way been connected to a contestant.
Aside from that, I would say that the top meals from last night certainly looked like they deserved to be on the top.
