Tournament of Champions

Even with an annoying and screaming host, the randomizer and the chefs kicks ass, and that includes the rotatinmg judges and sidekicks.

What these chefs comes up with in such short time is amazing!

Don't let the punkrock wannabe presenter put you off, because it's a really good cooking show!

I am so sick of Antonia Lofaso. She is so annoying and only talks about how she is the most deserving. Anyone that cooks good deserves the belt. She definitely doesn't deserve it more than Jet Tila. He should have never gone home. I am very disappointed in the people that are winning this year. I have no one to root for on my favorite cooking show. It is such a good show and we look forward to each episode. Just not happy with very many of the people moving forward. I guess I'll be ok with anyone that wins except Antonia Lofaso. We will see what happens next week on Tournament of Champions. Can't wait.

First of all, I'm not a Guy Fieri fan. If this were 150 years ago, Fieri would be the traveling snake oil Guy who carries with him his progeny as the Guy Jr. Who is miraculously "cured" by his daddy's concoctions.

I am, however, a cooking competition fan. Top Chef is the GOAT. This competition pales in comparison mainly due to the "ultra-hip" host and his nepo-baby in training. I mute the sound whenever Fieri is shouting his cutesy-pie reductions of phrases into "clever" aphorisms and then repeated again and again.

The actual bit of dramatic tension comes from the "Randomizer" creating a mashup of styles, ingredients, cook time, etc. Other than that, this series is overblown plug-and-play with otherwise earnest chefs and sous chefs trying to obtain a cash reward and garish professional wrassler's champion belt that is nearly impossible to carry gracefully and is obviously embarrassing to hold.

....by what the chefs can conjure up in a short period of time. Their skill level is nothing short of astonishing. I enjoy watching some Food Network chefs and favorites competing against each other. In some episodes, I find myself cheering for one of my faves but at this level you can merely have a good day....but to win a great dish is in order. Some days the chef I'm cheering for comes up a bit short.

In other reviews people have mentioned really enjoying the "Randomizer". You can pencil me in as well. That makes things very interesting.

Guy is an excellent host. He does his level best to make sure the show is fun without all the drama or hosts who take to screeching at the chefs.

Two big ladles up!

I will never watch another show of yours, if you feature that entitled cow, Brooke Williamson, again. I wouldn't eat dirt from her. I don't know what your problem is, but is very clear that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. A nasty little 20 something. She just exudes entitlement. It is supremely repellant.
