spiderpig March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 Call me a wimp, but I always want all the firefighters to win (Sunday 3/18). I love it when Guy "cheats" and gives them the answers straightaway and says "Oops!" 3 Link to comment
mlp March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 I liked the firefighters too. I was rooting for the nice looking captain who placed second but I thought the woman who won was really attractive. I loved her pixie haircut. In the second hour, I liked both the guys in the final round but I was happy that Panini Pete finally won one. I liked him both times he was on before. The first time that Thai woman was on, she could barely speak English and Jet Tila did some translating for her. This time, her English was fine and they didn't even need subtitles. Curious. :) She was annoying and I was glad to see her go. 2 Link to comment

jcbrown March 22, 2018 Share March 22, 2018 I was glad the guy whose name escapes me won the pizza competition last night. The other guy was okay, too, but he could not pronounce "chipotle" and that gets on my last nerve. Link to comment
roughing it March 22, 2018 Share March 22, 2018 It was clear from the beginning who the two finalists would be. The older guy pizza maker was one-note, and the woman pizza maker seemed to be way out of her league (plus, you're going to be on tee-vee, maybe you should wear a bra!). 1 Link to comment

RealityCheck March 22, 2018 Share March 22, 2018 I was listening/watching the pizza episode that was on last night. The judges were Mark Murphy, Eddie Jackson, and Tregaye Fraser. The previous time I saw Tregaye judging, she was almost mute. This time, Tregaye, in trying to be hip, used so much jargon, she was incomprehensible in most of her commentary. IMO she would have been better off staying mute. 2 Link to comment
suebee12 March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 Just watched the April Fool's show and I was so glad that Justin won. I think he was truly surprised he won since the other two seem to always be the winners in the judges contest! He has really grown on me since he was on the Food Network Star...he has grown up but still has interesting twists in his cooking. He also can come up with great dishes no matter what is thrown at him. I truly enjoyed the show tonight. 10 Link to comment

mlp March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 Justin was cracking me up because he had the same look on his face I would have had if I'd been bamboozled like that. I was also glad he won. I absolutely couldn't stand him during his season on FNS but he's grown up and toned down his shtick and I actively like him now. 7 Link to comment
spiderpig March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 Agree with all of the above about Justin. He really is capable of producing refined dishes, which is the last thing you expected when he was on FNS. Plus, I enjoy his kooky sense of humor. 7 Link to comment

mlp April 9, 2018 Share April 9, 2018 I was hoping Panini Pete would win. He seems like a really nice guy. When it came down to the final two, I was hoping for Bobby and I thought his dish looked a lot better than Carl's pork chop. I don't really dislike Carl but he gets obnoxious about that belt and I get the impression that it's not just for fun. 2 Link to comment
Tippi April 10, 2018 Share April 10, 2018 Note to future contestants: if you want to win, don't use frozen fries! Guy really rounded up some good DDD folks for this tournament. Panini Pete is very likeable, but I figured he was in trouble when he chose the French bread (or whatever type of bread that was) for his sandwiches. I was also hoping for a Bobby win in the end. Carl knows how to plan his dishes to hit what the judges will look for. Very classy on his part to donate the $5,000 to Bobby's charity. 6 Link to comment
MajorWoody April 15, 2018 Share April 15, 2018 Along with the others, I agree with the new improved Justin. Couldn’t stand him on FNS, but it seems he has matured, dialied down the red lipstick, and is interesting to listen to. Unlike the other posters, though, Cuban Carl has grown on me. I thought he was a one note braggart who got lucky, but whenever he cooks, he exhibits an intelligence and a willingness to explain what he is doing, and never seems to get flustered in the challenges. 7 Link to comment
jcbrown April 15, 2018 Share April 15, 2018 I actually agree with you about Carl the Cuban, @MajorWoody. I concur with your original assessment but he has grown on me, as well. 2 Link to comment
jcbrown April 23, 2018 Share April 23, 2018 Mike on last night's episode reminded me of a greasier, lighter-haired version of Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. He seemed like a nice enough guy but I don't like fingernail polish on anyone who is cooking and fingernail polish on men grosses me out for some reason. I was glad Tamra won. I hope she got the motorcycle for her son. 2 Link to comment
mlp April 23, 2018 Share April 23, 2018 I thought Mike was really creepy looking. I couldn't decide if he was wearing black eyeliner or just looked like that and I hate black nail polish. He did seem like a nice guy though. Tamra also was wearing nail polish, all different colors, and I also hate to see it during cooking. 2 Link to comment

I hope she got the motorcycle for her son. I agree. Call me old-fashioned, but cuisine and the Goth look are off-putting when combined. I might have felt differently if I'd just listened to Mike without the disturbing visual. He certainly seemed well-meaning with his desire to teach cooking to at-risk kids. Despite the nail polish, I found Tamra to be a jolly soul who cooked with gusto. I'm glad she won. 4 Link to comment
jcbrown May 1, 2018 Share May 1, 2018 (edited) I was surprised to enjoy the kid episode last night. My caveat is that it involved two of my least favorite judges: Melissa self-righteous condescending chirpface D'Arabian and Catherine "Who?" McCord or whatever her name is. Too bad they couldn't get good judges for this one. Edited May 1, 2018 by jcbrown 3 Link to comment
mlp May 1, 2018 Share May 1, 2018 Peggy, the girl who won, was on the kids' baking show two or three seasons ago. She was a delightful little girl then and seemed just the same only older. I was happy to see her again. I totally agree about Melissa and Catherine. 3 Link to comment

I picked up on that when the kids introduced themselves during the first episode and mentioned it on the thread for the season. We had some discussion about it because it didn't seem right that an employee's kid was on the show. She ended up being eliminated early on so it never became a big issue. 1 Link to comment

spiderpig May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 The 5/15 ep was the first GGG I didn't enjoy much. The contestants and dishes weren't appealing, and what's with skipping the run through the store and just handing the guy $20K? Link to comment
jcbrown May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 Yeah, that was sort of odd. The contestants were not that engaging and they were a rough-looking bunch, to boot. I wasn't a fan of Mr. "In Tucson, we eat spice!" who won, either. It's not like it's a dining destination, dude, dial it back 10 notches. Link to comment
mlp May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 That was an odd group. The blonde woman looked like Damaris would look if she suddenly gained about 80 pounds. I didn't really mind the goofy guy in the wild shirt but I was sort of glad he didn't win because I always worry that the extremely overweight cooks are going to drop over with heart failure from running through the store. I didn't get why they skipped the final run for the 20K either. I enjoy that part. Link to comment

suebee12 May 25, 2018 Share May 25, 2018 Just watched the Biggest Burger contest....whoa, have you ever seen such decadent burgers? I love, love, love Darnell but was really happy to see Mackenzie win! She had some amazing burgers and now she can have the wedding of her dreams. Can't wait to see Darnell come back....his cooking is always way out there and everyone seems to love his cooking...come on Guy, have him back again really soon. (I sorta' wish they could come up with a cooking show for him. I should watch it!) 5 Link to comment
MerBearHou May 25, 2018 Share May 25, 2018 Guy was just on the Tonight Show w Jimmy Fallon. Guy seems to be very good-hearted and down to earth. I love that he highlights the small mom & pop restaurants. I just like him, at least from what I’ve seen on TV over all these years. 1 Link to comment
srpturtle80 May 26, 2018 Share May 26, 2018 (edited) I love Darnell too!

Jaded June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 I was happy that Mackenzie won until it came time for her to run the store at the end. Her narration during that time about drove me up a wall and back down. She must have a really good income outside of the show if she's going to use all of her winnings on a wedding. How each of the $4000 items were going to cover different aspects of it like $4000 for her dress, $4000 for catering so she wouldn't have to cook, $4000 for an open bar and etc.... 1 Link to comment
