lol, you really think the taste is "that" good? every girl who cooked their entree and asked the by-passers to try and give them 100's all the time...the show is to have fun and give the audiences the fun in watching, i doubt the food are really that good; from the way they cook things and of how the celebrities do not know how things are cooked, the food can't be that good, period
i think the scoring is fine as long as the judges dont give out too many negative scores. i hate seeing the contestants get teary eye after all their hard work.
i could imagine that, seeing thou is hard work, but taste wise, if the food is not fully cooked or it contains the fishy taste, is really hard to give any above-zero marks;
tiny things like steaming without water??? cooking the fish w/o washing them???
off track...i, myself do not cook as a career, but contestants should know at least what should go with what not randomly make something "hoping" the customer to consider they have done a good job;
even when i try out new things, if they taste bad, i would throw them out and rather not give the people who are eating them a bad image of my cooking; un-acceptable = un-acceptable, no excuse, try better next time; maybe i am just a perfectionish? if i eat out n they are bad, i would say it, no mercy!
