During the cake decorating contest, the judge said her speech VERBATIM to all the contestants. It is important for the judge to have CANDOR when picking a winner, despite one of the contestants being her best friend. Many of the contestants were being OSTENTATIOUS when they finished their cakes so that others would look at theirs. When time was ticking and it almost ran out, the contestants had to HASTEN their decorating. When it came down to the finals, the air was very LUGUBRIOUS when the realization set in that there can only be one winner.
