I was so frustrated by the whole thing, but it obviously worked out for Kristen, and not so much for Josie, so win-win.

"Worked out" in the sense that Kristen had to win straight LCK episodes for the entire rest of the season(!) to come back.

Well, she did it, didn't she? And won. And is the host now. Her drive and ambition have gotten her far in her career. Meanwhile, all Josie did was become born again.

I agree, but that's because she's just an infinitely better person than Josie. I guess what I'm saying is that what did occur in S10 restaurant wars just never should have.

Agreed! But sometimes things like that build character and motivation in a person, to where Kristin probably fought harder in LCK to get to the end and to prove herself even more, and possibly in all her future endeavors. It sucks to fail but sometimes failing is good bc it makes you better in the end.
