Guy's Superstar Grocery Games: Part 2

Yes, we all understand that judging is not entirely impartial, but to watch Alex (and if I head "ICAG" one more time I might puke), throw a plate that is litterally drenched in oil and without the secret ingredient being the star, but suddenly, magically, when it shows up on the judge's table minus 90% of the oil and having the judges APOLOGIZE to her for even questioning whether the secret ingredient was the "star" of the dish is both pathetic and transparently ratings-based-judging. We're not dumb. We can see when the bigger ratings draw is given a pass in order to try to draw higher ratings on the next episode. The next superstar challenge where BOTH AG and Rocco are given passes on what sends other people home is almost too much to tolerate. Why don't you just say "Hey, we're going to put together a pretend competition, where we make sure the chefs who bring the most eyeballs will win every time rather than who cooked the best". At leas that would be honest.
