      After more than a decade of doing this, Ebbers is still very strongly biased towards Barry. The things he said he likes the most about the pasta dish were the thing he told Berry to do. If he had made the exact same type of suggestion to mike during the competition instead of being snarky about it afterwards, Mike would have faired better. And yes, Ebbers doesn't like anyone showing him up so when a normal completes things he's never heard of or tried to do before, he pouts and doesn't give them the appropriate credit :(

      How can it be that hard, if as Mikey boi himself said "I saw it on tiktok and thought I'll give that a go".
      You know why Ben hasn't bothered trying a a water-chocolate mix? Because he's not a lunatic on a "health track", cutting out dairy in the form of milk/cream, but then adding MILK CHOCOLATE to the dish.
      Mike was all over the place with his vision of the dish, Barry made seafood mix and got a badge because Ben told him to char the tomato skins and Jamie once again outperformed the other two but is somehow only second on badges.
      If you wanna talk about unfair treatment, then complain when Jamie gets shafted despite being the best normal now.

    I always feel Mike tends to get done over in these challenges, because he tends to pick things which are tricky rather than showy and then tends to suffer, while Barry and Jamie are probably better at managing to pick things which they can execute to look and taste good and which are fairly low risk in the grand scheme of things. Still think he deserves a badge for managing to make an edible water ganache, because even if the idea isn't his, the execution is evidently quite hard.

    This is the first time in a while I’ve disagreed with your judgement Ben. Mike definitely deserved a creativity badge. He did things you yourself have admitted you’ve never done before or thought of trying and he succeeded on those parts (the ganache while truffle like was successful and you liked the white chocolate and olive oil. The only thing he didn’t quite do right was tempering chocolate which wasn’t one of the creative pieces). I would also argue it’s more creative than listening to you regarding frying tomato skins. And honestly, as someone that can’t eat chocolate, I would have wanted a slice of Mike’s dessert over the other two plates any day of the week. Like, I’m actually wanting to try making Mike’s now.

    Regarding Barry's dish, I'd say that while some might consider the leftover compound butter a bit of a cheat, you can also just buy butters that already have herbs and spices in them. So in the end it's no different to getting a bag of mixed seafood; you only buy one thing. I might even say he deserves a win for picking 3! ingredients that all substituted multiple other ones - the ink pasta, the mixed seafood and the butter. Very smart choices.

    I mean, yeah Ebbers adressed the cheat like nature of Barrys ingredients, but that doesn't make it less of a cheat. Compound butter with lots of herbs and a "mix" which is, in itself, already more than 5 ingredients makes this not really creativ (or technical, since Ebbers called it a "technique" badge some times in the video) but just plain boring. At the end of the day it was just pasta with tomato fish sauce made out of pretentious stuff. Next time on "cook with 3 ingredients" Barry buys just 1 super market and Ebbers is overwelmed by his creativ use of every aisle, meanwhile Mike invents a sixth flavor but Ebbers dont like the color of the dish, so he dont receive a badge.
    Sorry for the rant but the rating system gets more and more rigged just to make an even score board and its just annoying to see it.

      Mostly agree with you.

      Chocolate is a mix of things, bread is a mix of things,there is very rarely an Ingredient that doesn't have at least 2 things in it. But I do think it's kinda ridiculous that Barry gets help from Ben, and gets a pat on the back for it.
      If you're going to make it a showcase, then it's fine. But if you're going to make it a competition, then everyone should be on the relative same ground regarding how ingredients are chosen, and they shouldn't get help/ideas from another person.
