In general, for these kinds of culinary talent shows, each season typically consists of over twenty to thirty episodes, with the semifinals usually taking place in the last four or five episodes.

After some negotiation, they settled for a sponsorship to secure a place in the semifinals. Surprisingly, the funds were transferred without any further discussions.

A quick glance confirmed that they couldn't afford to offend this generous sponsor.
