Yeah, I was pretty disappointed as well.  The people they chose for the 
competition are among the most incompetent people I've ever seen...if I 
made that many mistakes when cooking a feast, it would never get out of 
the kitchen!!  Phillip and I both commented that, if we had anyone like 
that in our kitchens, we'd probably ask them to go help set up the hall 
or something!
