I loved the show. I do not enjoy cooking, so it was a fun experience to watch. Also, it's television, so it has to be entertaining, and drama entertains. I agree that Mike was the best chef, but Robbie was a great leader in the kitchen, and he can cook. There are other cooking shows with a more technical edge, requiring greater skill and output, and with professional judging, and those are also great. But, this show was successful in that I am looking forward to Season 2.
