I was just introduced to this show today, and began watching from S1E1 excited about what was in store as I got caught-up to this year's competition. BUT the second challenge in the VERY FIRST episode put a "bad taste" in my mouth when the contestant Jason was NOT called out by the judges for failing to actually COMPLETE the challenge.
After whining about the Cowboy "costume" card and forcing Audrey to trade her Pirate card, he proceeded to completely ignore the actual COSTUME part of the challenge by only doing the head/face of the pirate on the card (that he had pirated from Audrey), and completely ignored the rest.
It really killed the credibility and fairness of the competition aspect of the show. I still enjoy the baking part and the commentary.
