I am not against them at all and I believe that if judges have selected them in final 12 they probably have the magic of creating tasty dishes. I disagree though about the sob stories to be the reason to be in this show. For singing/dancing reality shows, sob stories only work once you have shown to the public that you have what people want to listen or see. Unlike dancing and singing where all is visible, and the mentor ship helps them excel, for cooking reality show, judges can judge on taste which audience has to rely on the judges comments. The audience can only see the team efforts, the presentations and the innovation if they describe their dish.
I could see that the focus on Khoku was much less for the baking as probably she had much less clue compared to other contestants. Yasmeen is a quick learner so the team was a help to her in making decorations and beating the eggs. These two can't show their innovation in all kinds of cooking while all other contestants have that leverage.
I don't think either one of them should be the winner.
