Yeah, personally though I think it was that Jacobsen guy behind it all. Every chance he got he sold people out. Before they allowed them to "redo" the challenge, he tried getting his host/waiter Malarky eliminated. He was the team leader on that challenge and he picks Tre to be the Exec. Chef? Made no sense. I was thrilled when he was eliminated in the Airline food challenge, with "The worst dish in Top Chef history".
The Restaurant Wars are great as are the mise en place challenge, but if you have too many drama-queens or hacks it doesn't work.
