  We analyzed the winning statistics of the German TV show 'Das Perfekte
Dinner', a competition where the contestants rate each other. We did a
comparison of the original and the celebrity version of the show and also
implemented a rescaling of the points to reduce the influences of subjective
grading. We found that there is a strong dependency of the winning rate on the
position of performing, not only for the first, but for all candidates.
Furthermore, we concluded that there is a positive bias in giving points, after
the contestants have already cooked. The comparison with a simpler optimizing
strategy, the so called secretary problem, showed a lot of similarities.
