Duelo com Bobby Flay

I had to take my car to the Honda dealership for regular maintenance yesterday afternoon. I was told it was going to take 90 minutes, so I sat in the waiting room expecting to be horribly bored. "Beat Bobby Flay," which is the type of show I never watch, was on the big-screen TV, and I saw three episodes before my car was ready. I have to say it's not bad. The premise, that two challengers have to cook against each other with the main food item of Bobby's choice, then Bobby has to cook against the winner with the main food item of the winner's choice, is actually pretty clever. The announcers were somewhat annoying but didn't spoil it for me. The cooking itself was impressive and made me hungry. Bobby lost against a challenger two out of the three shows I saw, so the challengers definitely had a chance. I doubt I will ever watch this show at home, but it made waiting for my car less boring than I would have expected.

I think if they beat Bobby they should be able to say i beat Bobby Flay then they ring the bell before running off. Lol. I like the show and think it's funny too.

For some reason watching people cook fancy food is always really satisfying, and in this show, it's made even better by the fact that the people cooking are competing against each other. What happens in this show is chef Bobby Flay, along with his two guest-hosts, will bring two chefs into the kitchen, and Bobby Flay will choose either a specific dish for them to make, or a random ingredient that must be the main ingredient in their dish. They have 20 minutes to make their dish, then the two guest hosts eat and critique their dishes. Whoever made the best dish gets to continue to compete against Bobby Flay himself, this time with a dish of their own choosing. They have 45 minutes to do so, and then they bring in 3 food judges, who eat the dishes without knowing which one is which, and then they all vote for one. Whoever gets the popular vote wins. It's always amusing to watch the chefs and speculate who will win. It's also incredibly satisfying to see the person who's competing against Bobby Flay actually beat him, as Bobby Flay is surprisingly and impressively knowledgeable on pretty much every dish in existence. One thing I don't like about this show is the fact that the guest hosts have such empathy for the chef competing against Bobby Flay, that they'll go up to Bobby Flay and screw with him by doing things like knocking his tools off his table, or dancing around him in a really dumb dance to distract him. I just wish they would let a competition be a competition, even though Bobby Flay is an expert in practically every dish in the world. Another thing is the winner always makes a terrible pun about their dish at the very end of the episode. Other than that, it's an entertaining show that has a lot to offer, after all, there is 27 seasons as of April, 2021.

Please keep up On seasons and episodes! Hard to keep track of which ones have been watched when they aren't even listed on IMDB! A 8 year old intern could do it! I track and rate the shows as I watch. Hard to do when they aren't even listed. IMDB is THE app to do this! Please! Thank you!

Every time I watch this show, they emphasize that the judges are completely unbiased. Yet, while they are critiquing the plates, the 2 chefs are standing there in front of them and grimacing when their plates receive any sort of criticism. The number of times this happens, and Bobby Flay wins, is extraordinary. The judges should judge without any influences - i.e. the chefs and audience. Its disappointing, and becoming very predictable. Also, there is a lot of times when Bobby's dish is NOT the best, yet he wins. Same happens in Iron Chef - I stopped watching because it didn't make sense - several of the guest chefs deserved to win. All quite political. Starts to resemble the Oscars.....
