[@hajera786]

You guys should do this again but have Aaron and John be the judges so its a blind taste test, so they won't know who made what and can't be biased hahaha

[@alyanna_m]

i think nessa’s portion is really justifiable being gourmet, and the plating definitely looks better with the colors, balance and all

[@lucyslaboratory3143]

I agree 💯

[@jaglajaat1881]

Please sister support 🥰

[@petraevc5091]

@K 291 A mí también 🤤

[@alyanna_m]

also, im surprised paul forgot to consider that roni cheated hahahaha and even if others won’t consider it as cheating, you can agree that nessa should get extra points for memorizing how she did it before and improvising along the way

[@c10249]

i agree :)

[@AdventuringLifeHS]

I think Nessa was right with gourmet being small portions and it looked delicious. Nessa won in my book!

[@yanggarden7277]

[@netiii]

Bro I was a lil surprised Roni won lol, Nessa's portions made more sense for the gourmet theme and the plating looked good. She had that recipe memorized toooooo! + all that salt on Roni's steak, I thought that was gonna be a deal breaker 😅 Anyways they both did super good! Both dishes were executed well

[@richapradhan9411]

Nessa acting surprised when Paul said Roni’s steak was too salty with the “I TOLD YOU SO” look in her eyes was everything 😂😂😂😂💖💜✨

[@MMR-BR]

Roni cheated though🤔

[@urfriend.millieana]

Lol

[@Bianca-bt3db]

Yeah but that is what I hate

[@er8071]

Love how theyre not even being timed and Roni is still on blast mode in the kitchen. Roni is always competitive.

[@luluvillalobos_]

And cheating😆

[@InMyDreamWonderland]

Lol roni tried her best and is so stressed while nessa is so calm😆💝 And in- 18:46 it's so cute how they look at eachother when anything happens

[@damianwalker8407]

hahaha

[@janemoana6393]

I personally think Nessa should’ve won, she did everything from memory, she put love in to her food, and it’s lobster and shrimp, literally ticks every box

[@DreamOfSomedayy]

I think Nessa's plate was definitely more gourmet, I thought she was going to win. Normally steak is my favorite food, but the colors, food items, arrangement, and flavors on Nessa's plate fit the gourmet category best. ❤

[@Slephane]

My vote goes to Nessa. I genuinely thought she was going to win. Paul's comments about Nessa's dish had nothing to do with the flavor but with the quantity and skewer. Plus Nessa's color pallete was visually appealing with the vivid orange and green.

[@virtual_mei]

I guess Paul rated it based on the flavours more than the presentation

[@Daphne12x7]

You are soo right I agree I was thinking the exact same thing.I was like soo sure she was going to win.I feel like Paul didn’t vote Nessa coz of the skewer and because it was less.But I think it was rlly clever that she reduced the quantity as that’s actually how gourmet meals are.

[@nyasworld7526]

I agree

[@MeOnionz]

I also think he was trying to spare Roni's feelings 😄

[@champagneproblemz7386]

completely agree!!!

[@jayg1316]

Based off of Paul's comments I'm surprised Vanessa didn't win. And I was totally with her on the less is more for gourmet.

[@fanforever8498]

Ya same here

[@joanna3495]

I agree!

[@spilega4603]

It actually makes sense

[@araccoon267]

I’ve been watchin them for 4-5 years now and I’ve noticed Paul always sides with roni lol

[@navyasiddanur]

@@araccoon267 ikr!! I've observed that too.

[@wondernessful]

I think nessa’s looked more gourmet and was plated nicely. As much as I love steak, roni’s looked like a TV dinner. And I totally think reading Aaron’s instructions is cheating lol. I’m the end, both looked delicious and I’d love both ! Lol

[@MeOnionz]

I totally agree! I think she should have been disqualified 😄 Honestly think Paul was just sparing her feelings...

[@neymatsyed]

Yes!!!

[@jessacortez3865]

[@carmeloforever2241]

100% true

[@06elena]

it’s not about how gourmet the dish looks. it’s the TASTE,

[@arushibhattacharya2143]

Lol roni cheating but still not even being able to boil the potatoes and freaking out 😂😂😂😂 whereas nessa just going with the flow and nailing everything, and even the bg music reflects their vibes perfectly it's so funny!! This is such a recurring theme in all their challenge videos and perfectly captures their personalities as well

[@sesalie80]

I definitely agree with Nessa on this one. Unfortunately the more gourmet the meal the more you’re paying for even less food. I don’t understand the logic behind it but that’s just the way that gourmet and fancy meals work. I think Nessas proportions were perfect in the gourmet sense. I personally do not like fish so I probably would have chosen Ronnie’s for taste.

[@kristinarosa8086]

I think you should do this again but with one food being the same.. that way they can be judged more equally. You both did great! They looked amazing! I’d eat both for sure!!

[@AdventuringLifeHS]

☝️ yes

[@elizabethraber4822]

YES!!

[@editsbyem]

yess! definitely!

[@luluvillalobos_]

The fact that Nessa has it memorized makes her the winner hahaha also love the dish she chose!

[@fatimmaz]

personally i think roni’s dish needed more greenery for the presentation and nessa’s dish looked amazing. obviously i can’t taste it so im judging it based off looks.

[@joanna3495]

I agree

[@Harshiii_yt]

I love how nessa protected roni’s head while shouting “it’s burning me”

[@brianstelzer9768]

If Roni was trying to prove she was “the best gourmet chef” she wouldn’t need instructions but alright

[@Lilycoco4]

That is not the meaning of gourmet

When roni helped her when it was popping a lot....the way Nessa kept her hand as wall so that roni doesn't get any burn on her face was sooo 🥰🥺

[@monamarty2603]

I love the way that roni was all frantic and nessa was just chillin…😂 i cant wait for more videos! 🤗

[@hannahroest5948]

I think the vote should've gone to Nessa. All Paul focused on was the portion than the taste. The whole point of the challenge was to be fancy and I think Nessa got that, along with the portion size too.

NESSA WINS Paul should keep in mind that roni had a recipe but nessa was like just doing this materpiece with no recipe so ofcourse roni would win bc she had a recipe so nessa wins and the shrimp is a gourmet the presentation is amazing so roni is also nice but she was using a recipe so its not fair. AND PAUL gourmet is also small i mean roni did good she just cheated yk

[@famoushollywood]

Vanessa has a point. "Gourmet" meals are pretty small and more expensive for what you get. I'm with Daddy Merrell on steak and lobster but mine is steak and shrimp!

[@letician2125]

I think you guys should do a blind folded taste test next time! Either make your own desserts and have him blind folded or make the same and see which is better

[@varanakamalathasan3414]

In my opinion Nessa’s gourmet meal looked very reasonable for 20 bucks and her presentation was better than Roni’s.However, by saying hers was small and Roni’s meal bigger only means the more gourmet and posh food it is.Roni also cheated by using Aaron’s help, which i think should have not been allowed as Nessa didn’t use instructions without Aaron’s instructions, she wouldn’t of known what to do and how to do it.But overall it’s just a challenge so i don’t mind i love y’all videos ❤️

[@virlinehonore9767]

Nessa’s expressions made the whole thing. I think she definitely should’ve won the gourmet challenge but roni’s dish was awesome too 🫶

[@laaniesveryownvlogs]

You both did great! I will say though, Roni using a step-by-step recipe is 1000% cheating lol. Nessa made a lemon-butter sauce and made it too lemony. She didn’t use a recipe so it could be perfect, she went off of intuition - it’s not fair that Nessa made her entire meal off of intuition while Roni had every step given. In my opinion, Nessa should have won just off of that fact alone. Even the judge said it was cheating LOOL. Sorry Roni, but the instructions were totally a cheat 😂😂

[@splashcus]
