Alex Vs. America

Seriously, each episode has someone on as a challenger who cooks something that in no universe imaginable would Alex have cooked, whether it's niche Mexican, authentic Asian, etc. So right away they no which one dish Alex DIDN'T make.

I don't understand why most reviews are so negative. It's a fun show! I appreciate how Alex is down to earth and not incredibly cocky like Bobby Flay. She actually gets visibly nervous every time she competes. She is obviously very competitive but doesn't have a huge off-putting ego.

This show is set apart with its rules and format but best of all, actual blind taste& judging. I've seen Alex in my livingroom for many years due to my love of Food Network. I don't know why more shows don't do judging like this. It's so much more pure and enjoyable for the viewer. Jesus, do I have 500 characters yet?

Good show!

Alex's snark and food have always been a fun combination. Now three chefs get a chance to take advantage of her weaknesses by choosing ingredients, cooking times, and other factors as they attempt to beat her dishes for a cash prize.

Thus far the competitors are top-quality, with diverse cuisines and extensive experience. So it's nicely inspirational to watch, and usually mouth-watering.

The only drawback is that the judges likely know Alex's style very well, and it stands out from most of the competitors. But they also aren't judges known for cutting anyone a break, and their blind assessment of strengths and weakness of the dishes seems genuine enough.

As much as I like Alex, there is nothing new here. It's an amalgam of other shows. Also the host a bit lost and boring. Hopefully, it will improve as the season progresses.
