This group should be very interesting since they are all great chefs (except
one). I had to choose between NIC and my other favorite Sunday night show on
AMC; The Walking Dead. At least FN does repeat their shows.

Lately there have been so few shows on FN that I even take time to watch
especially in the evening. Sorry, but I don't like DDD and Guy. It seems
that DDD shows are being shown constantly.

I can't decide yet who my favorite is since I like them all except for
Spike. How in the world did he end up in this group of good chefs? He was a
hack on Top Chef and hasn't improved since then.

One point of interest on the Iron Chef show last Sunday. It was Lee Ann Wong
from Top Chef. She beat Mark F. (the newest Iron Chef) by one point. The
secret ingredient was Halloween candy. The food looked great.

This is almost enough to get me to watch Food TV, just this one time.

I flipped back and forth from that show to others and it lost. The
show was silly and contrived; a mixture of Dinner Impossible with Iron
Chef tryouts. Ugh. You knew right away who the first loser would be
based on face recognition.

That was exactly my thought. I want him to leave early. I really
dislike his personality, and I don't think he's got the credentials to
compete with the others.

I was sad for Mark - one point? I'd demand a recount. LOL. His food
looked way better to me than hers - but I think his candy flavors were
too buried.

I've noticed that too, and I also don't like Guy. I try to watch a
little FN on the weekend, and it's always DDD on, so I pass.

It's the Food Network version of "House Hunters."

I like Guy's Big Bite and watch it often enough, but I hate DDD and
Tailgate Warriors. It turns out that I prefer FN daytime programming
and can't stand their evening programming. Hate all those stupid
competitions.

WTF is with all those stupid "monster cake" competitions?

Now that there are no new Good Eats, Food Network holds no interest at
all for me.

I am really sick of the cakes.
