Oh no! I think you are being far sweeter than the kinds of stunts they pull on Cutthroat Kitchen. I'd imagine the quilting edition would have contestants do things like make a quilt from muddy fabric or cut all your pieces while riding a teeter totter. Not my cup of tea (ohhh, or having to carry a cup of tea in your left hand while making the entire quilt using only your right hand).
I just never got into that show in spite of usually loving cooking shows. It just seems so unfair to me. You can be a really awesome cook but get these ridiculous obstacles thrown at you and end up losing to someone who barely knows how to stir a pot. I once saw someone spend his entire "bank" buying obstacles to use against the other contestants. He was declared the winner, but went home with nothing. So strange. Glad you like it, but I don't get it.
