Like a lot of decisions this season, I think it came down to which deserves more merit: daring to make something risky or executing a "safe" dish. I use quotation marks around the word safe since Hung admittedly is not skilled as a pastry/dessert chef. If the judges realized Hung did take a chance with his dessert, we certainly were not privy to that discussion.
While risk is to be recognized and applauded, I'd rather eat a dish that is executed well than one horribly done and only sublime in theory.
I don't know why they had to pretend that the "live" reveal occurred right after Judge's Table evidenced by them having to wear the same clothes they wore that night. Totally cheesy!
