This doesn't surprise me in the least. How stupid a way to choose an
employee, making them do things they don't have a clue about in far
less time than it takes to get up to speed, let alone succeed. This
show is moronic. I don't think any of these idiots could have come up
with the latest Martha book, MS' Baking Handbook, which is just
terrific.
The show was more "reality," less Martha.
