I know! There was this one guy they warned about double dipping when tasting to correct seasonings and then he did it again in the next round!

In this same show (Chopped) there was also one guy who actually dropped a piece of meat on the floor and picked it right up and went back to work on it, not even bothering to rinse it off! I may be slightly off in the exact way it happened, but when tasting the dish, one of the judges asked the contestant if he was the one who got the piece that was dropped on the floor and when the contestant seemed to indicate 'no', he leaned to the other judges and commented that one of them must have.
And, since you've brought this subject up I will also mention that it has bothered me for a long time that they are showing all of these food preparation shows and not one of the cooks, chefs or decorators seem to have their hair pulled back or look to be wearing hairnets. And when you get to a show such as Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives or Ace of Cakes, they are supposedly preparing foods for public consumption and not for them to eat themselves! Maybe it's just me that has a pet peeve about this because strands of my shoulder length hair can fall out if you just look at it, but I won't even start preparing a dish unless I have it pulled back and covered with a bandana or hat!
Any others out there who've had this same thought or am I just being too picky?
