It is a performances centric movie

disgusting, overrated, pointless

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Bobby Flays cooking, and he definitely has skill, however this is such a farse! Several times I've tuned in and watched Bobby beat people when he clearly and admittedly had no clue how to make the dish much less make it amazing! This show is a setup obviously! Again, not that Bobby is a bad chef, but it's clear it's his show so his favor!

Ok, first of all, those people who are saying other person's dish is better... are not the ones tasting it. Presentation wise, maybe, but maybe Bobby's tastes better? I binged watched this, and no, Bobby doesn't win all the time. He wins about 70% of the time. My only question is, when they had an episode where Marcus was selected to go against Bobby, and Marcus is Ethiopian... and of course Marcus selected an Ethipian dish..one of the dishes was Ethiopian food critic. How did they know that Marcus will be chosen and that he will cook Ethiopian, so they prepared an appropriate judge ahead of time? Maybe they had different judges ready in case either contestant wins..but this was sketchy. Still a fun show.

I used to enjoy watching this show but the outcome is always the same. The competition topics are entertaining and interesting to see the different directions the chefs take in completing their dishes. However, there were plenty of times when the competitor's dishes were much better than Bobby's, yet he always seems to win. Every show that I have watched always ends with Bobby as the winner. I guess the judges must be biased... it's sometimes pretty obvious which dish belongs to whom. No longer watch the show because I already know who the winner is. Has there ever been a time when Bobby didn't win? If so, how many times has he lost and which episodes?

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.....
