Episode 40: first two rounds of pigs head basket proceed as expected. The judges are grim and severe (they are all sick of eating pigs head). There is a significant delay in filming the dessert round. When the last two contestants open the dessert baskets, each finds the roasted head of one of the contestants that was chopped in a previous round. The last two chefs look up at Ted Allen, their eyes pleading. His face is impassive. “The clock starts now,” Ted says. The chefs begin to cook, their hands shaking as they shave flesh from the faces of their fallen competitors. They both make bread pudding. The judges eat the desserts silently. Maneet Chauhan has tears pouring down her cheeks. No winner is announced. The show is over. The promise of Chopped has been fulfilled.
