Initially I disliked Mike for his attitude. Over the course of the show he proved that he wasn't just talking smack. He was a team player, proved ingenuity and fairness.
Now compare him with the child idiot Serghey.
I get this is a competition, but it's a cooking competition. If you show you're a garbage human being, then you are not a better cook.
The format of the chefs judging the dishes "blindly" is the most moronic component of the show. Either was intentional like this or who chose it is a complete idiot.
Being voted by peers make sense, no issue with that.
I already saw the last episode has bad review so I fear on who might win. 2 people stand out as the worst S and J. Let's see if I'm right.
