The contrasts of the contestants is interesting also. Some are panic
stricken and run around for the entire time, others are calm and focused,
easily finish on time. Some of the dishes are really interesting
transformations of odd ingredients.

The interaction with the judges is interesting too. Some take great offense
at criticism even when well deserved. I few have lost because they kept
bumping into their overblown ego.



Have you noticed how the chefs compliment the dish usually and then after
about three good remarks there is a criticism and the other cooks often
smirk? I would love to know how long the chefs deliberate.
