I hoped the change of hosts might revitalise this show but sadly not. It is just the same old, same old, same old etc., with different faces. The new hosts just utter the same lines, give the same sideways looks and hold the (supposedly suspenseful) pauses as the previous hosts. Obviously they have not changed the script writers. The contestants are excellent and for the most part interesting and they certainly know how to cook however the format of this stale show needs to be rejigged.

Cool GameSpot thats supposed to be about cooking. What ruins it..everyone crying about "thier cause" to be there. The gloyifing of ones sexual orientation and a obivous forced diversity feel contribute to a reasonable lack of interest. Just cook, bring on the best cooks, stop trying to balance things in order to possibly please people who might not have been interested.
