I don't mean the others eat nothing, I meant they just get rice and beans and no sharing of the proper dinner is allowed

The splitting is the problem. Sure, 10/10 means they get a more fulfilling meal, but if you're splitting 6/10 you can still have a decent alternative to basic rations that it's almost as good as winning every star. This way the stars would be worth more and there'd be more of an impact and consequences if they didn't complete the trial, putting those who are crap or don't bother to do them up ****s creek even more
