When they first started, it was good but now the entire focus is not about cooking but about bashing one another and trying to be like a nasty reality show! It is a horrible example of how people should be to one another. They choose the most dramatic, far out people they can find. They seem to have an underlying agenda in promoting gays. I have nothing against them, but I wouldn't be interested in seeing drag queens and monster truck lesbians competing in the kitchen. You can toss out Paula Deen for using the "N" word 30 years ago but it's okay to have Nigella Lawson's shows on after she admits to using cocaine and other drugs. I have a hard time dealing with the double standards. Plus, I don't care what they do in Canada......I don't live there and I don't care. Another stupid choice FN has made.

The host Damaris comes across as extremely fake, her speaking voice is very annoying, and the food she prepares is just okay. She may be nice in person (and I'm sure she is), but her tv personality is horrid. After 10 minutes of watching her, I want to drag my nails down a chalkboard just to replace the sound of her voice in my head with something more pleasant. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that FN renewed the show given the other dreadful shows like Restaurant Stakeout that are still on the air. What has happened to this network? The quality of the shows is spiraling downward.G335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-17838027005268794512014-06-02T14:31:55.304-04:002014-06-02T14:31:55.304-04:00All the stupid gameshows drove me away.

THAT WAS THE ONLY CRITICISM FROM ALL THREE JUDGES! The two contestant who presented his noodles straight from the water WITHOU dressing first with Alfredo sauce AND served that starch WITH potatoes, another starch AND commented that he did not properly prepare one of the fruits that resulted in making the dish bitter. The chef chopped was complemented for properly preparing the same fruit! And now we should trust that there was not a bias or pre-planned choice of who to choped and who to protect!

That should have told FN to look elsewhere. Her point of view wasn't that great and I think FN was just looking for a new Paula Deen. I much preferred the chef that said her point of view was 'meat on the side'. People are eating lighter, focusing more on veggies and fruits.
