Actually they had only 10 min. for the egg dish and one hour for the mis en place.

In the second show, they had 1 hour and 10 min. to make their next dish.

Given that they had to use Thai rice [granted it was purple], shrimp, spicy sausage
and duck, I am surprised that none of the contestants tried to make paella.  Granted
that paella usually uses chicken, it is a dish that is very flexible and duck would
have been a good substitute.

Optimism is an intellectual choice.
