Has anybody actually watched this show?

Tonight I watched an episode with the Japanese guy, and I actually thought it was pretty cool. I would rather watch this show over roughly 90% of other television shows, and I'm saying that after just one episode. The only other reality competition I can really do is Face Off, and in a way I suppose they are somewhat similar.

It is easy to just scoff and say, "ugh, garbage!" But before you do that, just consider The Kardashians or The Voice. At least this show highlights an actual profession, and the people on it are talented at what they do.
