Alas, Bravo must have run head first into their creative brick wall because this show bears all the earmarks of a fifth generation clone - flawed, tired, predictable and laughable mutated mush. You'll recognize the obnoxious self-absorbed cast of characters; a conniving Bubba or two, the guileless Bambi, multiple arrogant egomaniacs, a smattering of pushy tools and the smug expert judges.
