Editing is very powerful in these type of reality tv shows. They "have" to edit the episode so that there seems to be another prime candidate for dismissal (and win) aside from Mike I (and Robin). Jen was the prime candidate in the most recent show. Mike V's dish got a lot of airtime with great positive reactions of the guests and judges. But no, Kevin's dish which looked like cowpie won.

If the editing doesn't keep you guessing or doesn't give surprises (to you) each episode, then there really would be no point watching the last 20 minutes of the show. So most of the over-the-top things we see each episode I process with a grain of salt.


...that being said, when I watched the episode as a fan, I really laughed at the "small prick on the tip of the tongue" segment. All the wine they're drinking during the meal sure ups the festivities.
