Agreed on all counts. I don't know why they couldn't do a season of TC Masters this summer instead - I'm not confident, but it seems like it has been a summer series in past years. Heck, even TC Desserts would be more compelling, I think.

Yeah, we keep checking in with him in various iterations of TC, and while he seems to have mellowed a little since his original season, the growth seems incremental at best - his cooking, on the other hand, has really grown.
In our house, we sometimes say someone has "pulled a Blaise" when they choke in a contest - (spoiler alert! Results coming...) it was good that he managed to avoid that fate this time.
