In the end, I'm sure both of their pies were delicious. Graham cracker crust vs. traditional crust, Bobby Flay's fancied-up version vs. Michele's home-style version—I'd like a slice of BOTH, please! It's really great how you see a slice (pun!) of everyone's personality in their cooking

This is actually one of the first in a string of Throwdown videos I've watched that bobby has won.

Michele's pies are the bomb!! her chocolate-pecan bourbon is the best dessert dish I have ever tasted in my life:) not even a joke, its amazing

@sophiafied

I think Bobby Flay has to win the majority of these to keep his show on the air...so this might have been fixed

[sophiafied]

So...canned pumpkin and graham cracker crumbs beat fresh pumpkin and home-made crust? I don't understand the world.

I would argue if you choose the right judge

you can skew the results of the throw down.

Bring the gourmet loving judge, the gourmet

judge will favor Bobby's version. Bring the

traditionalist as a judge, the competitor wins.

In the end, everyone has to make their own

opinion. As viewers, we just get to watch the

results, not taste the results. :-(

Michele kicked Flay's butt! I dont care what the judges decided.

@BellaOfBacardi Either way, it was a friendly competition. Its only meant to show different ways of cooking a recipe and that cooks can also put there twist on it and cooking isn't only 1 straight shot. Also its only meant to advertise other peoples famous recipes while making a show! :3 Either way, whom ever wins its a fun time!

[BellaOfBacardi]

Even with the affirmation/endorsement, you can

tell she was disappointed when she heard the

throwdown results.

Since Bobby Flay is known for putting a twist on

classic recipes, that kind of identifies his food

even if his name is not on it.

Palette, preferences, knowledge of the judges

can skew final results of a competition in one way

or the other.
