How the verdict works

One person, one score. We average valid audience ratings: below 4 is Bland, 4 to below 8 is Spicy, and 8–10 is SuperSpicy. A Community Verdict needs 10 distinct raters. Scores are shown to one decimal without rounding up; verdicts update as ratings change. Review likes and dislikes do not affect the score.
