I have to agree. There is so much more that enters into it. For instance, I eat at the Green Valley Ranch all the time because a very good friend of mine lives a very short distance from there and he and his wife like the casino. While Rock, season 3 winner, was there, and we know he was there because his picture was outside the restaurant, we never once ate a meal that he prepared and all we ever heard was how he was re-soundly disliked by the rest of the staff due to a combination of things. From his attitude to his lack of skill. Come to think of it, we really enjoy eating there so maybe it's best that he didn't cook for us, we might have not returned. :)
