Back in the rehearsal room, the judges are still trying to figure out what to do with the remaining contestants. They've got one hour before they're supposed to perform on stage, so they need to make sure everything's ready to go. One of the judges asks the other one if he heard that the other contestant had a problem with his ingredients. The other one says that he did hear that, but that he didn't mean to say that. He's sorry that it happened, but he's also sorry that he doesn't like the contestant who did it. He says that it's no big deal, and that he'd rather have a clean match than a "jerk chad" lesson. The judges decide that they'll give the other contestants half of their scores to design and the other to taste.
