Not only are the freaking commercials played repeated over and over again, the editing is really really bad. Example- The Kid's Baking Championship (or whatever the correct title is). Duff asks girl if her animal assigned is a unicorn. She says no, I got a hummingbird. Duff replies "I was going to say that next". WTF? Was the commercial edited by a junior high media department? Do I have to care about what Duff was going to say next? No! Id10t errors abound... the piss poor editing can be found on other commercials as well.

I am surprised that William Geist is not gay. He sounds gay, doesn't he?

Not judging...just surprised. My gaydar is failing me!

When it first started it seemed like whenever told the best sob story won. Is it still that way or has it gotten better?

Are you watching the ending? Chip in here!

Season 28, Episode 7

Celeb Heroes vs Villains: America's Next Top Cook

For the final showdown, the remaining recruits work together in a "Celebrity Game Night" challenge to win ingredients before they must go head-to-head against their own teammates to earn a spot in the top two! In their last skill drill cook, the final four cook a composed dish to prove their worth. Then, chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso guide the finalists in preparing a three-course restaurant-quality meal. Judges Gino D'Acampo, Judy Joo and Kelsey Barnard Clark will blind-taste the dishes to crown the winner of $25,000 for charity!

Damaris's is so cute. I'm loving this show it feels fresh and exciting. I hope they keep the energy. But the episode with Demaris in this outfit her shoes are SO COOL.

Do they come back the next day to compete after a challenge or do they have to wait until the following week to compete again?

Spring baking championship Holiday baking championship Halloween baking championship

Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón is facing more backlash as a fresh wave of controversial texts resurfaces, this time featuring hurtful comments about her co-star Selena Gomez….

This horrible person is talking trash about Selena, called her a “rich rat”. I saw it on the Daily Mail. Seems very out of line to me.

So I know the automatic entrants for the tournament, and I’ve seen that David Viana, Adriana Urbina, and Mika Leon will be some of the competitors. I can’t find a full list though. If anyone knows of anyone outside of those 3 that’ll compete in the qualifiers, please comment below

Does anyone else wish they’d go back to the original format for this?

I don’t know if this has ever come up. But what if a judge has an allergy to something that someone’s cooked? I know in the Wizards of Cooking competition, >! Evannah Lynch is vegan so she only judged based on the look. !<

Loved seeing Geoffrey Zakarian on the show!! Would love to see other chefs that don't normally do competition shows!!

This season’s episodes seem to be missing from Food Network on Hulu and Disney + (US). Does anyone know where I can find it? I only have episode 2 available.

Guy's Ultimate Family Cruise airs as a one episode special tonight, Friday, 1-31-2025, on Food Network. Are you watching? Feel free to discuss in this thread. Here is a link to a description with a short excerpt.

‘Guy’s Ultimate Family Cruise’ Features Fieri Family’s Unforgettable Adventure Aboard Mardi Gras | Carnival Cruise Line

Celebrity chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri is welcoming his fans to see all the fun he and his family enjoyed aboard Mardi Gras for “Guy’s Ultimate Family Cruise.” The special program airs Friday at 9 p.m. EST on Food Network, and will be available for streaming on Max. A preview of the program can be seen here.

 Fieri is a longtime Carnival partner. His Guy’s Burger Joint is beloved by Carnival guests for grilling the best burgers at sea, with more than 10 million served across the fleet annually. Select Carnival ships also feature Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse offering smoked-on-board barbecue favorites and sides.

Does anyone have a list of what episodes of iron chef were left untranslated into English? And are they available to be seen anywhere online? Seems like multiple places used to have them but they were taken down

Are there any shows where the cook has a visible disability that would affect the average person’s ability to cook, but this cook demonstrates success? Or an invisible disability we know of? How do I recommend a competition cooking show idea for this? I run into lots of people with various disabilities and the safety factors are WOW and their solutions to the logistics on this are even more creative. I’m wondering if this show would be popular as social education to others or increase independence at home for other people.

Hello Everybody!!! I wish FN would give us more shows during the Spring season other than just "Spring Baking Championship." Don't get me wrong, I love that show but why not air something else?? Do you all remember that fun show from a few years ago "Easter Basket Challenge"? Thoughts???

S6:E3 “Spice Up Your Life”

I just finished watching this episode of Worst Cooks on the Max App and during the main dish challenge I noticed something interesting that I haven’t seen discussed online as far as I know. During the main dish challenge, the contestants were tasked to create tacos inspired by flavor profiles of international cuisines. The kitchen was decorated with flags from around the world and also some posters/banners that had the country’s name and some iconography from the country (i.e., Italy and the tower of Pisa). One of the banners was blurred out in the episode! I do not know what it is! Has anyone seen this, perhaps live, and knows what lies behind the blur? I have attached a picture of the mysterious banner. Please help me.

Rewatching Beat Bobby eps on repeat right now and every time Jeff comes on to give his Adam Sandler riffs, I cringe so hard. Hate me.

Someone posting about how much they love the scavenger hunt on GGG (which I always skip) got me wondering about another thing I always skip: the Dessert (third) round in Chopped. I can't remember exactly when I started skipping it, but it was fairly early on. I just always found that round kind of boring (e.g., Oh, you're making bread pudding. How original!) Thus, now when I watch Chopped (which I still like a lot), I fast-forward through the Dessert round (and the always too-long discussion about who should win), and just see who the winner is, then I'm done. Anyone else out there like me?

When watching wildcard kitchen, there is kitchen equipment at the cooking stations that looks like honeycomb ring mold. I've seen it on Alex verses america too. What in the world is it??? I'm sorry, I can't find a picture of it to save my life.

I’ve been trying to find this cake for years, I caught part of the episode once in a hotel. I don’t watch Halloween wars, I don’t feel like searching for it. Does anyone know the episode or have a better image of this cake?

NO SPOILERS

I don't know how anyone can watch Tiffani Faison after this episode and still be a fan. Admittedly I wasn't a fan going in but could still watch the shows she's on but I can... not... stand her after this episode. Act like you've been there before.

Everytime I see Micah all I think about(besides being old) is Alfred E Neuman(Mad Magazine).

That kid is adorable!

Will there be one this year? Does anyone know where and when? Google doesn't help. Sorry if this has been asked already.

1. this is my comfort show so I’ll watch no matter what but the new episodes are frustrating
2. I am too young to know of Rocco in his hayday but he seems to love what he’s doing now and I’m happy for him so I hope he’s not a bad person
3. I’ve seen other people say that Guy is picking his friends so they have auditions for ToC but Alex G being on this episode sold that for me. I want unknowns trying to make a name for themselves - she has Alex vs. America, Supermarket Stakeout (I could’ve missed it, but she could do a host vs contestant ep), Eric on Wildcard Kitchen, etc. etc. Big fan esp after Selena but girlie you’re good!!

EDIT!!! Big Alex fan/nothing against her! Just used her as an example :)

4. Mularkey is there and that’s my feedback on that contestant - I’m sure lovely but just too much for me
5. This was longer than I originally thought it’d be but in sum I truly miss the days of nobodies in Guy’s store with the weirdest games and those people became somebodies and I’ll rewatch all of those episodes. I hate seeing the same people I know every time I turn a competition on now. Supermarket stakeout seems to be the new “discoverable” show but lacks the games that make GGG fun.

If you read all this, hope you have a great day!
