Well, the structure is different from last season, which is good because it shows the versatility of the chefs. As far as the judging...the first judge I saw was Antonia Lafaso. She judge fairly, blindly, not knowing who made the dish...very fair. If Marc Murphy was known to her, I feel that she would have leaned toward him to win. However, on the next episode, the judge was Graham Elliot. Stephanie Izard went against LT Smith. Ms. Wizard is an Iron Chef and won Top Chef. I feel it was unfair to allow Mr. Elliot to know who made which dish because it was predictable that he would say that Ms Izard was the winner, because of her prominence in competition cooking. It's a good show and shows the capabilities of each chef, however, the judging should, when possible, be a blind judging in order to be fair to the chefs that are not widely known in the culinary world. This is a fairly new type of cooking competition that is enjoyable to watch.
Thank you

Recommendation: 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing is a creative show that shows endurance and creativity. There are also things that the home cook can incorporate.
