Whether it's Nathan in the DR or Ali repeatedly (but especially tonight), the only long edits that happen are when the chosen HM is talking at length and negative imaging the HMs they don't like.


Now, I have said before that I don't think that the prod team has a bias, that they just lean towards making an entertaining show, but I am actually going to walk that back.... This kind of platforming of opinions is designed to sway public opinion.

I think this year, based on how the show has been built, that there IS a bias... Ali is that bias.

Every time... She is in the 'highlight group' in every task. Every task she gets a flattering costume to wear. Every time she gets that camera time. When she talks at length about other HMs she gets super long edits in a show that is otherwise about short cuts.

These are strong and observable patterns.
