I see what you are doing here.

Cooking good food takes creativity. A lot of people on this forum are a lot more creative than they may think they are. It may take some effort to dig for that idea you can't wait to execute, but it's there, and it's a lot of fun when you find it, and do it. I only have four TD wins in three years. If you look at the double-digit winners, the thing they have in common is a little extra effort, whether it is the preparation, the cook, the presentation, or the pictures.
My entry was not weeks in the making -- actually hours. I just got into caveman mode, and let it roll. The fork was actually a last minute idea. I whittled that thing while my coals were getting started.
The best thing about these throwdowns is letting your imagination run free, and having fun trying to pull off what your mind comes up with. I find, that if I focus on trying to win, I end up losing, and don't have any fun.
