So, if you don't want to read the entire review because I have to write a certain amount. Only 5 Stars because there is so much negativity in the show. Ya, it's supposed to be funny and some of it is, but the viewer is inundated with negative comments from "everyone", all the time.
Especially certain guests, Sunny Anderson being the most negative. I won't watch the show when she is on, and that includes other Bobby Flay shows. She is just downright nasty with what she says, during the ENTIRE show. And she always has to yell.
The show seems to be fairly scripted now as well. It is obvious when a guest, non-chef, throws out criticism towards Mr. Flay in that he/she was most likely told what to say, or what they have brought to the show. And I've always wondered how a non-chef can critique food like a pro. Now there are guests like Michael Symon, Katie Lee, Geoffrey Zakarian, and 'a few' others, where you can tell what they are saying is for fun and original, not scripted.
And lastly, they are in their 39th season and the format is the same, as I remember. Except season 37; The Holiday Season. For myself, that format was great as, not only was it different, but it gave the chef who didn't win the first round another chance to be cooking against Bobby Flay. And isn't that what the show is about?
Thank you for your time.
