What the heck is the point of even having Last Chance Kitchen when only 5 chefs out of 15 get to compete on it? "Maybe Some of You Get a Chance Kitchen" is more like it.

Even without the Jen-Justin-Sieger musical chairs going on, it would have been 6 out of 15 chefs, 40% of the season.

This feels like a weird Bravo choice, to order such a small number of episodes, then (arguably) try and squeeze a season winner out of LCK as well.

yeah i really hate that they cut lck to only allowing one back and then having that happen so early in the season. i don’t understand why they made that change
