Every show has the same 4 contestants:
– overconfident alpha male (probably with hipster facial hair, but not always)
– young gun just starting out / old fart just about to retire
– token female
– Italian dude (sometimes Asian)
Every show has a trigger-inducing sob story:
Judge: So tell me about why you decided to glaze the pasty.
Contestant: Well growing up my father never loved me and my mother died a tragic death.
Ted: Thank you chef.
You’ve been chopped. Thank you chef. Be well!
