You are absolutely correct, and I love your blogs.

13 episode format: These do need to go. They do a lot of damage to the characters, and we either get no development and interactions, or rushed development and interactions; lose lose situation. But it is clear that the networks do this so they can save money on production, and so they can have more shows on their network.

Antagonists: This is an issue. Some of the tactics that antagonists have used beforehand, but the later one uses, that is a problem. So they either risk being repetitive or throw out weak antagonists. This is a harder issue to overcome, as most of them are not executed well.

Chef: I honestly think this has to do with the 13 episode format more than anything. They need to squeeze in as much time for the contestants.

Underdog and All Star: This has been an issue since TDA, and has only gotten worse 5 years later. And it does not help that the same characters that are used over and over again suffer from flanderization a good amount of the time. This is the most grating issue.
