Besides Oct 7 Gala Day, there were shows in Nashville, and Cincinnati on Oct, 8 & 9th, so quite a marathon on adrenaline!
I'm keeping fingers crossed that Beets win, or at least go deep in the competition.
We know the show is pretaped. AND likely heavily edited.
It's not uncommon to film scenes out of chronological order (reality shows are no different), driven by location/set efficiencies, cast and staff schedules, etc etc etc. Also pure speculation on my part, but multiple 'endings' could also be filmed ahead of time, and editing takes care of which one is used depending on outcome of voting.
Go Beets!!
