I found this episode extremely disappointing. The chefs were not go an enough time to make a decent dish. Some of those cuts of beef needed a long cooking time. I really loved the fru fru comment about the quality of the dishes. I personally thought most of them looked barfable. The tartares almost made me puke.

This has been the second episode in the past month that I felt none of the chefs deserved to win. All of them ruined an expensive protein. The last two made a manageable desert but other than that their dishes sucked. It seems that their sauces saved them. I don't want to see them cook some ingredient that I would not find in my grocery. Give them more everyday items and have them elevate it. Give me something I might try to make. In the past I have picked up tips on how to cook a vegetable in a new way. My husband appreciates that.

This episode was just one big circle jerk. What was the point of it? Nothing was accomplished. Nobody really left. Brother came back from LCK and then went right back to LCK, what a waste of time.

Last night's show was a disaster. The first lady chopped was the best of the bunch. The remaining chefs all put up hot messes. How many times were chefs chopped for killing a steak? The winner completely overcooked his and was called out for it. Nothing but a huge joke!!!!!!

loved the building being renovated by Chewy. What a great way to help the rescue. They admitted they spent their donations on the dogs and would not have been able to cover the cost themselves.

I enjoyed this episode. The writers keep me laughing matter what. Love d the "stoned" events. So happy to have a show that can make me chuckle.

This was a good episode since the previous one had all of us crying for little Splat. Watching Splat was hard but that is something that we all need to see. I am sure that you have heard the phrase "we can't save them all but we will save all we can". Not all rescue stories have an happy ending, many are sad. I have been active in rescue work since 2002. The day I stop crying and caring is the day I need to step away. Amanda and her family are something else. i can't imagine how hard it would be to deal with special needs dogs day after day. She sure has found a keeper with G.

Yes, this was an emotionally draining but it needs to be seen. It helped bring awareness to what happens to so many dogs. I know my eyes would "leak" during past episodes. This one has my eyes running like a waterfall. I have been active in dog rescue since 2002 and have seen a lot of sadness. What helps is to know that these pups are now safe and well cared for. People need to see the whole story. Tia and her family are the best. I so wanted to give M2 a big hug. What emotions were being shown.

I so wanted to pinch Scotley in the face as he went on and on bullying Trev. I don't think much of Trev but the bullying was getting to be too much. Brett, Trev, and Scotley can leave now and I sure wouldn't miss them. I have watched this show since the beginning and this is the worst and most boring group ever!!!!

Loved the pups trying the cupcakes. I can't remember the name of the pup that had that cupcake stuffed into its mouth. Hope that activity takes off for them. They could sell them online.

I believed they said he was one year old with a bit of puppy still left in him.

DJ Qualls has been busy in the Amazon Prime Series "Man in the High Castle". He has appeared in all three seasons. Season three just posted on Amazon. I have been binge watching it!!!!!

The Cooking Channel is running old ICA episodes. Plus showing episodes of the original IC from 1995. Very interesting!!

somebody needs to tell FN that their judges look like idiots eating everything with chopsticks, makes me cringe when I see it

Those chopsticks need to go. Both of them looked so stupid eating tacos w/chopsticks.

My husband was completely bored then pissed off at this episode. He kept asking why Morgan and Al didn't shoot the crazy lady. Both had several opportunities to end it BUT NO they stand there waving their guns like a couple of little kids. I have not enjoyed the way the writers have changed Morgan. He once was a real bad ass. Now he acts like a wimp, almost afraid of his own shadow. I have not been impressed with the writing. Hubby and I were oth hopping that they all died from the tainted water. They were all out there around the truck when Al shot it and the liquid started to leak out. That truck was WAY TOO LARGE to drain in just a few minutes. Then all of a sudden they are all back inside the truck stop, sprawled on the floor. WOW such poor writing!!!!!

How many years has Chopped been on???? They haven't upgraded the set in all that time. The set is dull, dark, and dreary.

She was more boring than normal. Those four chefs were the weakest ones I have seen in quite some time. Not an outstanding chef among them.

OH NO, the new show tonight is a kid chef event. Sorry, I really don't enjoy watching kids cook. I think it is their attitude that turns me off.

I rewatched the Texas episode before the finale. My hubby watched also. He even commented on bad that overall group was. I really got tired of the chefs in all four preliminary battles going on and on and on and on about how great their bbq was. Yet, you couldn't convince me of that from the plates they put out. This was the worst grillmaster competition they have had. I saw very little imagination in their dishes. The chefs in the Texas group had so much trouble thinking outside the box during the appetizer round. They all just threw that hunk of meat on the grill plate then where so surprised when it didn't cook all the way through.

My, that finale was one of the most uninspired episode I have ever watched. The appetizer and entree rounds consisted of a slab of meat "grilled" on stovetop metal grill pan with some sort of side. Where was the originality? For a championship round I was left with a very blah feeling. Maybe I have been spoiled because I watch the show regularly. The entire show format needs a facelift. Please lighten up the set. Right now it is so dark and depressing. I really liked the set of Chopped Canada.

Poor Pope, he is really starting to lose it big time!

That Texas group was one of the worst I have ever watched on Chopped. That first round was so sad. Not one of them knew how to think out of the box. They all wanted to SHOW OFF their grill skills and they all failed. It sort was which one was the worst out of four really bad dishes. I was happy to see Joe win over Stephen. Stephen grated on every nerve I have with his attitude. Don't think Joe will go far in the finals if he doesn't step up his game.

I can't begin to tell you the number of people (mostly males) I have talked to about the benefits of neutering their dog. One guy was a doctor's assistant. It took me talking to him and bringing him print outs over several months before he finally got it and had his dog neutered. I am a firm believer of this. That is because way back when I was younger and not as educated, my male dog died of testicular cancer. He wouldn't have died if I had him neutered. WAKE UP call for me!!!!!!! I do like the fact that Dr. Jeff pushes the spay/neuter to his patients. This will help in slowly bringing down the number of unwanted pets born because of stupid people.

The Memphis competition was one of the dullest,, uninspired shows. None of the dishes looked appetizing. Dull and flat would be the best description.. All the judges were fawning over the Memphis flavor but it was hard to see any seasonings on the food. This was supposed to be grilling competition. All it has turned into a grill pan competition. Put a few grill marks on the food and BAM and it qualifies as grilled. Sad
