He had time to; Release the steam from the cooker. Dice the beef into 1 inch cubes. Throw it into a pot to stew it. Explain what he was doing (while not multitasking) Fry off his tortillas. Add cheese. Flip and brush them. Plate and garnish. All as slowly and pretentiously as possible. Barry had time to completely clear down and then start messing with the lights and calling his wife. I'd estimate 20 minutes easy.

Even if you ignore the time limit debacle, it was a BEEF battle and James stated clearly that Jamie's beef was cooked perfectly and Barry's was a little underdone. No way does Barry deserve this - Jamie didn't get extra time when his lava cake wasn't ready in time, Barry should relinquish this win if he had any sense of honour.

I have to side with Jamie on this one, the time limit has to play a bigger factor in the judging, The fact that this was a beef battle and that was what Barry was predominantly waiting on and according James himself said the beef should have been cooked slightly longer. Knowing the cut of beef your cooking needs to come into account as it is a Beef badge. Barry could of chosen a different cut of Beef that would of cooked faster, I understand how flavourful beef ribs are but they also take longer to cook than many other cuts of beef. Jamie on the other hand choose to use beef cheeks, a cut of beef that has great flavour but could still be cooked in the time limit. To some it up Jamie should of won as it appeared that he knew his cut of beef better, or in the very least Jamie should also be given his Beef badge.

My heart is so happy with James’ intermittent appearances. It’s so nice to know he’s still a part of the sorted family ❤️

Yeah, Jamie's in the right here. It doesn't matter how good Barry's dish was, since Jamie was the only one to cook to the brief. A restaurant could serve the best food imaginable, but if you need to wait 90 minutes or two hours for it to arrive at your table, then that's pretty damning.

tbh...I think Barry should have just been disqualified because in any FAIR competition if you don't have it on the plate in the time limit you don't get to serve it. And it wasn't just a few seconds over. It was a WHOLE assembly of the dish and more cook time. Very valid point of "What's the point of a time limit if you're going to ignore the time limit?!"

If you go back to the Ultimate Seafood Battle (3 way not the one with just Barry and Jamie), Jamie gets extra time due to screwing up his rice. So he gets that extra time to cook new rice and to assemble his dish.

This destroys any meaning or tension buildup you may get from time calls. 5 minutes left doesn't mean anything if one cook is just allowed to continue while the others present what they could. No tension, no penalty. No rush. Take your time Jamie and Mike, because clearly it no longer matters.

Love seeing James back

I think Barry needed to earn an Anti-Time Management Badge for this one. It will count as a -1 to his overall badge count.

Gotta be real, Barry's cockiness in timed battles has so often backfired, and other than taking the piss out of him, I don't feel like he's generally been penalized for it in the judgment. Frankly, I would never have given him the win, as delicious as his tacos looked. He knew the conditions walking into this and still failed to meet a critical one.

Time limit is a time limit. Instant disqualification. ‘Edible’ is the lowest bar you can possibly have on a food show. 😂 Keep up the great works lads.

No beef dish to serve when time runs out on the beef challenge is an automatic loss.

A rule is a rule. Mike lost a battle previously due to him running over the time limit. Although Barry's finished dish was better. Barry should suffer some penalty. Maybe a loss of a time management badge (if he has one)

I'm going to say it. Jamie was robbed! If he'd had another 10 minutes + he could've done the bits that James said were missing. Barry should've forfeited any win.

🤣🤣🤣 I busted out laughing in a coffee shop when he started washing dishes and then continued to laugh until the end of the challenge!

Ha-ha, the looks on their faces after James gave Barry the win. Hilarious! 🤣

Barry should have lost automatically for not having a dish in the allotted time. I wish James have Jamie the win because of that, and then followed it up with “but the tastiest dish was Barry’s”

I literally said "Jamie's throwing so much shade" right before he turned off the lights. :D

Both dishes looked absolutely fantastic, but I think Jamie deserved the win. Plus, in the original lava cake battle, he ran out of time with his puddle cake and he wasn’t given any more time… By that logic, Barry exceeding the time limit means he should’ve only served up what he had.

I partly disagree. When there is a time limit, the result plated when the time is up should be judged. As Barry had a clean plate, the win should go to Jamie. As I really dislike food waste, it would be Ok for me to finish the dish exceeding the time limit (i. e. out of the competition), plate it and enjoy it. It makes no sense to me to waste the food for the sake of a time limit.

@@hefudgedafrog Time managment is part of the challenge. When the goal is to have a plated dish after the time is up, it is fair to judge what is on the plate. An empty plate is not a likely winner. If the competitor decides to open the cooker sooner to get a dish on the plate, it´s fine. Just don´t interfere with his time managment. When the time is up, the race is run.

Jamie should definitely get a time card to use whenever he wants (next battle, pass it on, anything) that gives him some extra time to finish something

Yeah, you need to make this right for Jaime. The time limit is part of the competition and Barry blew that.

Barry has got to be penalised for his extra time somehow. Maybe Jamie should get extra time on his next challenge with him or Barry loses the amount of time that was over?. How long was Jamie’s sitting there before it was tasted as well... I think Jamie had great time management and gave clear instructions.

The only part that bugs me about the overtime ( honestly dont know how egregious it was just what we could see in the video) is that the reason James said it won was it was a little bit more delicious rather than stand out, how much better would Jamies dish had been if it wasn't sitting and waiting for Barrys or if Jamie had the extra time to push his dish further.

I mean maybe that could work, it seems like a good way to keep things equitable while still giving Barry the win, it still seems a bit contrived though. Personally I think at that point it might be better just to find an alternative to the time limit.

Oh, James. I have missed you. However, you REALLY forked up. Jamie would have had to seriously screw up for Barry to earn the win. The time limit is part of the challenge!
