  1. I always check the description below but NEVER see how to get on the show!
    A struggle meal for us from Louisiana (it was a normal meal to us) red beans and rice.
    We use a bag of red kidney beans, Kielbasa sausage, onion, garlic, celery, (seasonings of course) and eat over rice. Total would be less than $10 and feed a family of 5 for at least 3 days. And don't forget the homemade cornbread!
    Next up would probably be spaghetti with meat sauce. Again less than $10 and feed all 5 of us for at least 3 days.

  2. The fact that she was so judgy with every persons meal tells me she didn't know struggle. For struggle meals, it doesn't matter what goes together and what doesn't. You use what you HAVE and can afford, even if it's a 5 dollar meal that doesn't taste the greatest.

  4. I suggest you start converting the scores with a curve. Take each judge's scores and convert to 1, 2, or 3 in order of each judges favorite. Use that to find a winner. Solves the problem of one person winning by rating everyone low.

  9. They need to change the scoring system so a hater can't sabotage the score by giving the competition low scores. They should rate the other 3 competitors and give them 1st= 10 points, 2nd = 7 points and 3rd place= 3 points. That way you would get a more fair score system because someone can't tank the competitors score.
