I'm not crazy about the premise but I am very happy to get Antonia instead of Anne. I love Antonia, I actually thought Jeff did okay the last time he did the show, and I will miss Anne's hyper-competitiveness not at all so I agree this is promising.
This is the Allison Victoria renovation I have liked the best out of the entire franchise. Or to say it differently, this is the only Allison Victoria renovation I have ever not hated on the entire franchise.
I am surprised at how much I am enjoying the relay tournament. I find the format fun to watch and I've enjoyed most of the chefs (other than Crista Luedtke, whom I've never warmed to for some reason, though she did a good job in her episode).
It was really stupid, especially that she kept doing it. The oven is going to cool off and you are going to hurt someone. I've been cooking for decades and never once left the oven open after I took something out of it.
