It's a different kind of competition show. It allowed the contestant to learn from their mistakes instead of getting kicked out. The drama, though.... I wouldn't wish a Mellisa on my worst enemy. (You have to watch to understand how awful she is. If you read this, girl, you brought it upon yourself). I could really do without the drama. Unfortunately, having worked in a kitchen before I'm familiar that this dynamic does exists. I'd get rid of the backstabbing, otherwise the show is good.
