There will never be enough fact checkers availible to keep track of the sob stories on these shows.  The worst offender is "Undercover Boss" where everyone had one.  They can't all be true.

Beau: "Are we judging the story or are we judging the food?"

I really, really feel for both of them, but you can't tell me her story didn't play a part in her winning. He gave her his advantage by letting her have the chocolate. Missing the birth of his son, for crying out loud! She turned in a barely-baked cake, they weren't wild about her first dish. She's a food stylist and a culinary school grad and she can't find work that would make more than $20,000 last year? I do wish the best for her and her family. I just don't want to have it shoved in my face.

I'm really tired of sob stories. This one did it for me.

ETA: I sometimes wonder how true these stories are. I think one day it's going to come out that Mary Jane went on national TV and told everyone she was broke and sick, and then find out she's living in a really nice house, with a really nice car, above her means. Not broke.

I agree cooksdelight, (and I also wish her the best).  When the contestant said it was her turn to support her husband "the way he had supported [her]," my first thought was:  No.  He supported you by working at a job.  You are spending a day in a studio and hopefully winning a contest.  

 

It would have been more interesting to see her try and do something w/o the chocolate.   She had some good ingredients.

I was actually super excited to hear this. Finally!!

 

I was also pretty confused by that one contestant saying it fulfilled her bucket list 3 times over or whatever she said just to meet Guy. I've met him. I liked him quite a bit. But Bucket list?  No....

I was very sad to see Chef Daniel go because this ladys husband lost her job. He just missed the birth of his baby being there and he was very very nice to her. This is a sob story contest and I don't like it. It's unfair.
