Nice post, Juna, and great ideas, everyone. 😊
I hope the bottles will be fingerprinted - that should prove Sooraj innocent and Mathie guilty for sure.
I also think it would be cool if they showed us flashbacks (for the DABH characters) from while they were cooking that we (the viewers) haven't actually seen before - the CVs do come up with some unexpected things at times, so we never know exactly what will happen!
About the other judges not being affected like Gary - it could be a blooper, or perhaps the other judges didn't eat as much of Mathie's dish as Gary did and so weren't affected as badly (ie. to the point of fainting)? We did see Gary eat a LOT of her dish (he thought it was so yummy!) so that could be specifically why he was affected so badly, while the other judges may just have eaten a little bit of it and so maybe felt a little funny but didn't get to the point of fainting.
Also, if these indoor scenes were filmed recently in India then I guess those two guest judges who were actually in Singapore (one of them is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel's head chef, and it looks like the other one is supposed to be a famous Singaporean chef) probably are not around (we saw them at the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, before the family's gave the competitors their blessings before the final round began), so I guess they can't exactly show them fainting, or indeed show them to us at all anymore! Remember, Marco got people to take the dishes to the other judges but we never actually saw them eating them. So, it probably was a logistical thing in the end.
Very much looking forward to Sooraj's innocence being proven tonight and for the action to move back to India. I feel like jumping straight through the screen into the DABH universe, so that main un sab ko Pushkar tak push kar sakoo! (so that I can push them all to Pushkar) 😆
