RIP to Mahsa Amini (Jina Amini/Zhina Amini). I didn't hear about her death before it was mentioned at the beginning of this video but after reading about it, it's truly heartbreaking. I hope her family gets justice.

[@dymandmadison7320]

Who are they ?

[@baybeetricia]

@@dymandmadison7320 (sorry for the length. The situation is kinda long so I'll sum it up). Mahsa Amini (also known as Jina Amini or Zhina Amini) is a 22 Iranian women who recently died in hospital under suspicious circumstances. Please note: there has been some issues surrounding the way that women wear their hijabs in public. Over the years, things have been a bit more lax the farther you are from Tehran (capital of Iran) but once in the capital, they are trying to enforce the "proper use" of wearing the hijab. On a recent trip to visit her family in Tehran, she was arrested (Sept 13) on the entryway by the moral police because they were able to see her hair (since it wasn't fully covered by the hijab). Her family (brother) was told she was going to a detention center, to get a briefing class and then she told be released in an hour. That didn't happen. As per accounts from witnesses, she was b.eaten (tort.ured) and ins.ulted on the way to the police station. Once there, she started to complain about a lost of vision, she fainted, had a seizure, then finally a heart attack. It took her 2 hours to get the hospital (30 mins for the ambulance to arrive and 1.5 just to get there in ambulance). This is where things really get bad. To eliminate the suspicion of police brutality, the government allegedly started forging her medical documents. Originally, the clinic/hospital where she was taken made a post on IG and said she was brain dead on arrival but they later deleted that post. They noted the bruises on her hands and feet and did scans which showed that she had skull fractures, swelling of the brain, and hemorrhaging; all of which resulted in bruises under her eyes and blood being release from her ears. That was later changed by the coroner who said she died from a preexisting condition which caused multiple organ failure. The government allegedly paid a doctor to come forward and say that she had a history of heart disease and that she had an operation to remove a tumor at 8 yrs old; none of which was true (her dad and friends all came forward to debunk that. She was healthy and she never had operation in her life). Thankfully she has a relative who is a lawyer and is representing them. The lawyer stated that reputable doctors have said that they believe she was beaten in custody. As a result of that, they are trying to create a committee to go through all of the details to accurately showcase what happened cause what was said publicly was a lie. Once people got wind of her death, 3-4 days after there were protests done on her honor (women either cut their hair or didn't wear their hijabs in solidarity for her). There were Twitter posts made, IG post made; all of which saw millions of views or retweets. People were rightfully upset because she didn't have to die. Whether she resisted arrest or not, nothing should have happen to her. 😔😔 #JusticeforMahsaAmini

[@CurbYourEnthusiasm65]

Thank you for showing your solidarity towards the Iranian people. Mahsa Amini is the symbol of freedom we want to get rid of this dictatorship regime. Mahsa Amini is one of the thousands destroyed by the mullahs of Tehran, and the only way her parents will get Justice is by getting rid of the Islamic Republic of Iran as whole

Sura adored the dish couldn’t stop eating it and yet she gives it 7,5? Not playing fair.

[@darlenecarson9416]

Thank you so much I honestly was saying the same thing.

[@coconutsbyKimPetras]

She’s done this two episodes in a row they should’ve banned her by now.

[@holistic.health]

Yeah... she is a tough scorer!!!

[@AleahLeah]

And she still didn’t win 😩

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

Yes she low balled both and she lost IJS 😃

[@ivorymarie82]

So Sura is at it again. Says If it were in a restaurant 10/10. Then ask them to take the plate away bcuz she would devour it. Then rates it a 7.5. Shes so not fair.

[@blindfollower]

Her restaurant comment was at the presentation and not the actual taste of the dish.

[@nadiadansani2139]

I think it’s all shot in the same day

[@dollface9875]

Didn’t she rate it a 10 before she tasted it?

[@ivorymarie82]

@D. D EXACTLY!!! So u get what im saying… This is a common occurrence of Sura. Lol.

[@cloroxbleach6344]

I think she’s just being nice when she says she’s in heaven, a dish can still be quite good while not being a 10. It’s like hard to mess up a good dish

[@baybeetricia]

Congrats to the winners!!! Side note: I really need Sura to get it together. There is no way Shirin deserved a 7.5 and Melody a 7 when she couldn't stop eating their food. She's scoring them low on purpose and it's not fair. Can we get a 4th judge in the next video? Just someone who will pop up, taste all 3 dishes, and then give a score at the end?

[@anujpramanik1819]

Sepi is Iranian. She can easily be the 4th judge in this series!

[@holistic.health]

Agreed 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@JoJo-hu9vm]

Sura: wow I love it, wow so delicious I cannot stop eating this Also Sura: 7

[@pengu82]

[@shoybandz1066]

Sura’s doing the same thing again, rating lower than what her comments suggest they deserve 🤦🏽‍♂️ annoying.

[@joebalter7617]

Sura does it again! "Oh this dish is lovely" or "Take it away before I devour it!" Proceeds to give a low score. She has purposely rated low in other videos to maximize her chances.

[@JoJo-hu9vm]

“ I can’t stop eating it” ***one breath later* “7.5” Seriously?

[@ZielErkenner]

Melody is such a pure woman that truely speaks from her heart! love her honest energy :)

[@itsking2u]

Her : oh my this is lovely it's amazing. When she rates : - 7.5 😐😂

[@bluelight8664]

it s still a good grade though

[@lumal06]

So glad Sura did not win this time. She seems like a nice woman but does not score fairly at all.

[@fa6534]

I’m so glad both Mom won, shame on your Sura for those ridiculous scores when you clearly couldn’t stop eating and praising them meals. How can you be in heaven and give it a 7

[@gretchenweiners7780]

Sura literally said that if she got the first meal at a restaurant she would rate it a 10/10 so why did she rate it a 7.5 🙃

Except sura aka the one in blue

[@leorich7719]

I’ve never seen, heard or tasted this dish, but seeing Shirin’s made me want to go out and try it! Her food looked phenomenal

[@radicalpaddyo]

I found the nearest Iranian restaurant to me at the start of this series and I haven't looked back👍

[@Yzaya]

I could tell Sura is not full Iranian

[@blindfollower]

It’s her hijab style. Iranian women wear the hijab in a different style in Iran.

[@Yzaya]

@@blindfollower that’s correct. most iranian women don’t want to wear the hijab also (by ratio) and specially iranians that have immigrated very rarely wear the hijab

[@powerpunch2]

yeh she has that Iraqi face head shape

[@TTMW]

Ok .. but... Sura's skin! Beautiful!

[@AndoughPanda]

I'm wondering if Sura did have some constructive criticism but it was edited out for some reason? It's odd that she seems to love the dishes, have very few criticisms, but rate them 7. Also, what a fascinating multi-cultural background she has!

[@mahmoudhaji]

I think she views herself as a strict critic, you know the kind that will never give good ratings no matter how good the product is.

[@meliyahgadson6372]

It’s sooo good I could eat the whole plate ummm 7.5?!?!?!?! Sura is just trying to win not playing fair whatsoever👎🏽

[@mindofapisces]

A dish with rose water? Sounds wonderful.

[@princemone8054]

Sura loved the dish so much but gave it a 7.5 and still lost 😂

[@sarenurkutlay5142]

I realized sura’s attitude changed and also her score’s got higher, probably because of all the hate comments she got!

[@Kjane.]

I do much prefer "UK buzfeed" over the American. Here, it is more of a wholesome & positive, family vibe, that can be enjoyed by all ages. No mean comments or showboating from the participants. Goodjob, BUZFEED UK 🙌🏾🥰

These women were all so sweet and kind to one another.💗👏🏻👍🏼 And never hearing of this dish they've inspired me to research it, learn as much as I can about it, then try it in my own kitchen. Mine would never be as good as their's but I'd still love to try to make it. It does look absolutely tasty and I enjoy trying different foods. Great Job Ladies💗

Everyone being hard on Sura for the scores she gives but a lot of people scale things differently (i think it's partially cultural), My BF, for instance, would never give something 5/5 because he sees that as a completely unattainable perfection.
