Baby Jesus on a cracker. Say it isn't so.

This show is such a shell of its former self (though it will never be Top Chef) that I took it off of season pass on the DVR. I've really only been half watching the last couple seasons. Has there been any episode this season where the contestants got to just straight out cook their signature dish without some dumb twist like making a stew into a sandwich, or add 100 hot peppers to your dish? I get that Bobby and Teeth want the contestants to be able to adapt, I don't know of too many (any?) cooking shows where the host does crazy stuff like that on a regular basis (at all?). There seems to be no point in it. It isn't entertaining. I would rather see the contestants cook their type of food each week and not have so many stupid twists. Does anyone really want to see how someone adapts stew into a sandwich? Maybe that's an untapped viewership I don't know about. Sigh, anyway, I really don't care who wins. It's not like the winner will get an actual show anyway. Now get off my lawn! :)

Regarding Nicole... I am a caseworker for people with intellectual disabilities (even when joking around, the word r******* is never cool) from mild to profound, and I don't think Nicole has any kind of ID. It seems to me she just has indulgent parents who simply throw up their hands or put up mild protests when she does dumb stuff. People without intellectual disabilities do stupid things every day. That being said, Nicole was a little too calm for the situation, so it may be hitting her that living in Morocco while the visa process may not be all it is cracked up to be. And could Azan at least pretend to care that they aren't getting married? The only genuine concern on his part was how much money his family spent/lost on the wedding.
