Who the hell is making these stupid shows? I wonder if its one production company. Its like we're witnessing the moment MTV stopped playing music videos. I guarantee its only a matter of time before we get a reality show with a bunch of goombas running a pizza joint.

That's amazing. "We still have plenty of inspiration! A Used Coffee Filter!" And yeah, that "What's on the Menu" show sounds awful.

It looks like the robotic announcer lady from the first season of Sweet Genius was able to find another job in Sugar Dome.

Team Bronwen is so far ahead of the other teams in this episode. It's not even close. Does anyone know how long it's been since Bronwen's been on one of these challenge-like shows? I haven't really seen her since she won that big multiple round cake tournament years ago.

Why is it not matter how little I'm paying attention to it I managed to get invested in Chopped by the end. What is it about this stupid little show that makes it so compelling. Like I was just watching one where in the end it was this overconfident douchebag that wanted to spend his money on paranormal investigation equipment versus an awesome lady that owned a pancake restaurant. I barely paid attention the whole episode yet a did a little arm pump when the douchebags "hot god bun desert sushi" ended up on the chopping block.

Has anyone else been watching Chef Race on BBC America? It isn't a very good show but the finale shocked me as I thought they would be smart enough to shoehorn a UK contestant into the final two.

Oh boy, another season of the thing with D-list celebrities doing cooking challenges is coming up. I saw Gilbert Gottfried is in it, so hopefully he just shits all over everything (figuratively and literally) and makes the show worth watching until he gets eliminated. Anyway, I'm watching Next Iron Chef, and Zakarian is one of the judges, and Guarnaschelli is one of the contestants? Isn't that a conflict of interest, since she's been acting as his sous chef on Iron Chef?

With Challenge, the hosts were at least HUMAN. They would come up and chat with you both on set and off. This guy only appeared for his lines and then was gone. I ran into him after the thing was done, and he was not interested in having a conversation whatsoever. Dick. Pretty sure he might be a robot.

With Faulkner gone, she will probably win or come very close again though! I don't like Faulkner's personality very much but felt terrible when she was booted. Oh well, it's not like it matters much---- though I do have to say it's funny to hear the recap talking about Marcel/Spike making a mockery of Iron Chefs only to follow it up with a preview for one of those stupid Iron Chef America Holiday Specials. Nothing against Bitchin Kitchen, mind you, I'm just talking about the premise or whatever.

The Iron Chef America Holiday Special certainly lived up to it's reputation for dumbness. What ended up happening is that the Iron Chef ended up making 3 dishes + the early dish while the other two members of the team made 1 dish each (Robert Irvine almost burned his dish). It was kind of funny that Ted Allen was praised for creativity for making ice cream out of the culinary curve ball (eggnog) despite him having seen competitors make eggnog ice cream like 5 times on Chopped holiday specials. buddychrist10 fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Dec 3, 2012 |

My wife hates Faulkner for some reason and reveled in her demise. I will say, if they do this again and the 'bonus' for winning the previous round is that they get to send somebody to the secret ingredient round, you better believe nobody is going to want that. That's twice in a row now that that person has been the one booted. (Though last time when Anne Burrell sent Zakarian to the secret ingredient challenge hoping to eliminate him, it was hilarious how badly it backfired on her when she had to go up against him herself.)

Neither team was the paragon of creativity with the eggnog. Team Cooking channel just added some into Nadia G's tiramisu instead of milk, and Simon added about a teaspoon into his sweet potato pierogies.

Yeah, that was great. At least this time Faulkner seemed to play fair. And eggnog ice cream is the least creative way I can think of to use it. I had a really long laugh about Robert Irvine's burned dish, so that made it all worth it.
