Well, whenever there is someone from Wisconsin oh my they must chop them. They must not make your rates go up, sickens me. Always, someone from the east or west coast. Also, like on all the food shows on the food network 90% of the time a woman is the first to go. Unfortunately, it is my favorite station, but what also bugs me, being a diabetic with heart problems, telling them not enough salt!!!! Salt and Pepper shakers use them!!!!

Why have black chefs on the show only to chop them on the 1st round ! Some of the chefs they keep make awful food and the judges say so. It is rigged. Don't enjoy it. We know who's going to win. Sucks!

Too many blatant bias! Time for some new Judges! Contestants that doesn't use all of the basket items should be chopped instead they are allowed to stay when everyone else followed by the rules! I have been watching for years and the one constant theme is too chop the AA chefs in round one and overly exaggerating their offense, especially when in most cases, theirs initially wasn't bad until chop time!
