I mostly love the show (though it sends me to bed salivating)! I do have to say that I am appalled at Joe Bastianich's bullying of Micah. I assume the show is trying to cultivate a climate of varying judges styles of criticism. Bastianich bullied Micah and said he should not volunteer to head a team when his kitchen experience was mostly washing up. Last week after asking Micah what he planned on making, he insulted his selection. What a creep! Micah is such a nice young man and I think he has done a very good job. I was glad that in one recent episode Gordon told Bastianich that he was a (expletive deleted) snob!
