So maybe read the above posts and you may find some answers.

No. I loved this episode. I don't mind being in the minority.

Loved it. And it was even better without him showing up. I thought it was very cleverly written and I enjoyed all the cameos.

Sorry to see Home Free as backup singers. Would have preferred Pentatonix in that position. Saw Home Free in concert recently and found them to be more entertaining than anything I saw on this "season." But, a one night show was a good idea in retrospect. This.

Personally, I really enjoyed it. Of course I am a Richard Blais fan through and through and not a Marcel fan at all. So I'm sure that colored my perception of the show. I will have to agree that Richard's facial expressions were a bit bizarre. But I truly enjoyed the format of the show and also the cooking. And I like the idea that they are going to have a face-off of all the winners for the finale. I like the concept. One thing that I did not like and seemed to be a bit set up was the fact that each won the other's specialty. I call a bit of BS on that. Overall, an interesting premiere episode.
