Personally I think 9 challenges would be enough to pick a winner. Let's face it, Internet users attention spans are very short and the shorter the contest, the more likely people will stick with it to the end. Plus, I'm a poor white boy and this is going to hit my foodstuff budget hard and Cinn doesn't eat meat (so half of the meals will get thrown away or donated to others).

I'd like it if this was done on the weekends, say post the challenge Friday and it has to be in by sunday night. That gives the judges 4-5 days to cook their meal during the week.

One challenge a week, 9 weeks total. I'd like the judging criteria set down in stone before this starts, as my recipes will tweek depending on what it is being judged by.

I like Jazz's idea on the whole thing. I just think we should tone down the amount of challenges. If this was a meetup, we could do a few challenges in a day or a lot over a few days. 9 challenges with one a week would be 2.5 months and that's a long time for the contestants and the judges to worry about this.

Cinn took one look at this thread and declared, "This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on TFP. You actually want to do this? Whatever." So I have her support on my side.

I'm going to video tape me cooking the recipe and how I made it. I don't want this to be part of my judging criteria if SF can not do the same. I'm mainly doing it for personal reasons and don't want an unfair advantage over SF. When I win, I don't want any shenanigans to be thrown out and the judgement being called into question.
