    So, 2 & a half years of challenges, struggles, badges gained & lost, stress, tension, skills, tests, & buildup amounted to a 10 minute handicap in one challenge…

    I'm so proud of all of them they did so well 😱👏👏🎉

    10 minute penalty?! That's way too much 😂

    Two and half years and you guys can’t even group all of ur “badges” videos in one compilation on you tube…. Love ur series ur figure it out buds !!!

    Poppy added no value..

    In 10 minutes Mike could have made his own flatbread. It wouldn't be ficcata, but it'd be better than premade. Especially since his dish was pretty simple. The time penalty was a bad move to include in a competition.

  7. @sbjchef

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    If you can't take all the body bones out of a flatfish without breaking the skin you aren't a chef, how else would you stuff a forcemeat into the principal without making it curl?

  8. @Rowgue51

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    It's kind of lame that barry is being allowed to just reuse the exact same dishes he made in earlier challenges. It kind of goes against the whole concept that they're supposed to be demonstrating the skills they've acquired.

  9. @kris123o

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Mike got robbed, I would have ordered that or Jamies dish for sure .-.

  10. @TanukiSC

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Well deserved and earned, Baz. He really did cook all three courses extremely well. Credit to J and Mike as well for coming up with some great dishes. Truly enjoyable series!

  11. @hannah29387

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    doesnt make sense to me to dock time from the person whos finding it the biggest challenge

  12. @Nokenify

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    She speaks so much but says so little.

  13. @jamielewisstax

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    I wish there was a playlist with all the episodes that featured a skill badge, would love to see the progression!

  14. @MintyVoid

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    a bit odd to give a punishment to the person who was the 'worst', like that just sets them up for more failure no? I guess there's like an underdog sort of angle to it. If anything i thought it was going to be the 'best' getting time taken away, as if they're so good they don't need as much time as say…the last. Just seemed needlessly cruel :I

  15. @SammyNail

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    if you're going to rate something by .8 do a fuckin 100 point scale instead of 10.

  16. @PiousMoltar

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    I know you like the colours to pop but when the raw venison is a glowing neon fuschia, something's not quite right.

  17. @AcidReign101

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Where is Ben???

  18. @JW-452

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    i cam into this from the mains, one and i was wondering how barry was going to get so far ahead, that was amazing.

  19. @feistsorcerer2251

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Definitely feel like Mike's penalty was too harsh. I'd prefer no penalty so it's an actual competition. It just feels like kicking an underdog and makes the challenge feel less like a skills competition and more like a game show.

    It's not engaging to me. Just frustrating. If I didn't like y'all so much I would have fully clicked off the video with no intention to come back.

    If there has to be a penalty then a 5 minute one for a 30 min challenge would have been more reasonable in my opinion.

    I can tell from the comments I'm not the only one who feels that way and I hope you guys take it into consideration.

  20. @evanjaramillo1010

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    This should absolutely be an anual or biannual event so that the position of sorted sue chef is never safe. I think by this time next year the 2 normals should have a goal amount of badges to achieve in order to earn the right to challenge for the title. While the sorted sue chef has to achieve a certain number of badges in order to maintain their title.

    I think some tweaking to this idea would make it amazing, and would bring even more meaning to that title! Keep up the amazing work on everything you guys do!

  21. @CharleyCarey

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    This whole challenge has been spread out way too long.

  22. @nagromgreen

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Do they know they only uploaded the first course? I’m confused where the rest is.

  23. @sammiepeace13

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    When will the next 2 courses be on for us to view?

  24. @AHeroAlmost

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    10min penalty was way too harsh ..

    Could have handicapped him some other way ? Maybe use or do something he failed on previously …

  25. @Ein0r10

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    I fear they spoiled the actual winner already in their app…

  26. @mattbarnes395

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Damn Poppy skewed that in Barry's favour pretty significantly given the scores from the other two.

  27. @anthonettec.2203

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Agreed on the 10-min delay being too harsh of a punishment

  28. @TKakela

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    I'm almost in tears watching this. It's so moving seeing this whole journey culminate here! All three of our brave cooks are so in this and you can just feel it. And I'm just astonished of these three starters, the thinking, the process, the results showing all those learned lessons and well-found knowledge and bravery to push their skills to utmost edge! Good luck to each and every one of you, Barry, Jamie and Mike – and may the best sous chef win!

  29. @LadyMiir

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    2nd place deserves a 5 minute penalty if you're gonna hammer poor Mike like that! #JusticeforMike

  30. @Dehchurch14047

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Will there be more parts?

  31. @danielbaker6819

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    15:21 😂

  32. @green7449

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    We're gonna have 3 patient zeros with that raw venison.

  33. @johngilman1447

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Disappointed. First time a Sorted video has left a bad taste in my mouth. Whoever thought of the 10 min penalty thought they were having a bit of fun. It came off as mean and just hurt Mike’s chance to do his best under already challenging circumstances. The challenge itself is enough of a challenge.

  34. @dylansharma3813

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    CMON BAZ!!!

  35. @stecky87

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    It throws me that Mike is last – he seems to be the best chef of the three.

    And that 10 minute handicap was dirty pool, guys. He didn't get a fair shake

  36. @moneysins

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Everyone is talking about Jamie’s plating but god dang Barry’s dish looks beautiful

  37. @miscstuff1238

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    Glad Mike hasn't scored too below the other 2, it'd be a shame if he was immediately out of the running.

  38. @thomaselsender4521

    January 25, 2024 at 11:26 am

    I feel like they didn't get Mike's concept, he told them the cracker was a barrier, so they could swipe the rest onto the fork, the biscuit wasn't meant to be eaten but they judged that as part of the dish that brought him down.
