Thanks for the response. I certainly understand the pressures the judges were under -trying to run a business at the same time as making sure your contributions were well-considered. They are pretty much the same pressures the competitors were under in completing the challenges and which contributed to talented competitors dropping out before the end of the competition.

Maybe more explanation of why the judgements seemed to become more erratic would have helped but as Ernest says, this is version 1 and I am sure the experience of this competition will serve to make next year's competition even better.
