This show just keeps on getting worse - I think killing live creatures for people's entertainment is disgusting for a start. One Asian female tore a live crab apart and had to be stopped) The judges over act to a ridiculous degree and I don't believe that the cooks don't get any help. For people who say they have never cooked a particular item before to suddenly produce a fabulous dish is just silly and unbelievable. It has a manipulative format which pits people against each other in the nastiest of ways and seems to seek out the - shall we say - more unusual personalities. The entire format - from the judges hairstyles and sneakers worn with suits to the selection of a blind contestant as winner is fake fake fake. I think Christine was brave and I admired her (let's get that right - as Gordon would say)- but she had constant help for obvious reasons and it simply wasn't fair on the other contestants.
