    I think it would be interesting to have each normal cook their "signature" dish or one they come up with on their own, without knowing what badge(s) they may receive. Ben and James could award as many badges as they see fit depending on the dish.

      If Ben hadn't correctly eye-balled the ingredients he'd put out for Barry then there wouldn't have been pastry to begin with.
      If Ben hadn't corrected him on the big ball for resting the dough wouldn't have rested in time to be used.
      And if Ben hadn't called it out, Barry wouldn't have egg-washed it.
      And with all that help; the bottom still puffed up, the edges had to be repaired, the top had to be repaired, he didn't have time to crunch his chicken skin over the top, and the bottom wasn't baked enough.
      Not to mention this was a second attempt at the dish, he _knew_ he was going for the pastry badge,.. overall just a poor performance.
      Compare that to Mike who went in for the seasoning badge, actually displayed his knowledge on the topic by talking about the triangle. Correcting all by himself the salty jus with a bit of sugar, and then correctly balancing it all out with the rest of the burger. To the point where it was the winning dish.
      Displayed knowledge and skill and independence, no chef help, and won the challenge too.

      Agreed. I think the badge videos where everyone did the same thing for badges is perfect but these random badges aren't that great. When everyone gets the meringue badge when only one person actually made meringue it kinda defeats the purpose of the badges to begin with. Likewise, Berry being instructed on how to make his pastry and then receiving a badge for it really undermines the whole premise behind the badge system/game. The badges are meant to see who is more "chef-y", as in who can cook the best without assistance from chefs.
