I believe you! I just feel he's receiving a large amount of criticism for something I see as trivial to him. In all honesty, I think he just wanted us to have fun.

He wanted to raise the level of competition, which doesn't do much for the winners or finalists. The challenge was a little hard to attempt in qualifications, and a little hard to predict before seeing any matches. Like I said, it worked better last year (all 6 teams hanging, happened 3 times).
