Unfortunately, the traits you're talking about don't make good TV. What people want out of "reality" TV (it ain't real so what's with the reality moniker?) is DRAMA.
DRAMA, according to the TV folks is best defined as conflict between the parties involved. This means that the shows are scripted not based upon who is a good participant (chef in this case) but on who makes the most dramatical statement of potential for upcoming shows. That's also why the "judges" get to ream the competitors on camera and humilitate them for what seems to be no reason at all.
FWIW, I think it's STUPID to have one real chef, a buncha line cooks, and some idiot kids who haven't even gone to culinary school yet (let alone baked a cake for themselves even) compete for the top prize of being a "chef". Who do you think will win if there's only one person who knows how to create good looking and tasty food in the lineup? The rest are just there to add DRAMA.
