Who Can Make The Better Gourmet Meal for $20! - Merrell Twins

[@NandaNunes90]

I love that while Nessa is just cool and calm, Roni keeps things chaotic. Perfect balance

are they still doing breaking into college or did they finish

Sister Please see my Card board House 🏠🏡

[@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

[@hi.I_weird]

Ye that would be great lol

[@TaeRose29]

YES I LIKE THAT IDEAD

[@lauren8886]

That’s an amazing idea!

[@nivoshome369]

Great idea 👏👏👏

[@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 :)

[@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

[@AdventuringLifeHS]

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

[@yanggarden7277]

[@sadflameprincess]

[@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

[@theartskee4291]

And the music goes from hectic to calm as well!! 🤣 its so fitting hahahahaha

[@damianwalker8407]

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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. ❤

[@Harshiii_yt]

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

[@luluvillalobos_]

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

[@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]

𝚑𝚑𝚊𝚊𝚑𝚊𝚑𝚊

[@carmeloforever2241]

100% true

[@06elena]

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

[@aleenaannantony59]

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 🥰🥺

[@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.

[@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.

[@izzypopiel4122]

I love how Nessa's is like a Bob Ross tutorial while Roni is cooking as if she doesn't, the world will end!🤣

[@Strawberrysunsets02]

Roni: “ I’m going to do great and nessa’s going to do okay” Nessa’s face 😂💗

[@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

[@vviviann]

roni: *_intense music plays while stressfully tries to finish cooking meal_* nessa: *_peaceful music plays while is relaxingly plating her meal_* dang i actually guessed it roni won lmao good job :D

[@twiggyshine9983]

I like how Nessa is just so confident and relaxed and Roni is over here like (go go go)

8:40 roni is such a good sister, she's so quick when nessa needs help

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!

For the Old Bay alone I would pick Vanessa's meal. I also would prefer smaller portions and more variety on my plate.

[@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 ❤️
