I'm happy that she won, but that seemed like one of the weaker groups I've seen compete.

I actually love when Aaron is a judge on this show. He is actually smart AND explains himself well. Bald guy is usually quite the prick, and that other brown-haired guy who is always on looks like he would drown in his nose if it started to rain. HATE watching them.

She isnt that bad on chopped Scott Conant and Jeffrey Zakarian are far nit pickier than Alex is. As judges go, I think Aaron can be the most open minded when judging a dish.

Alex Guarnaschelli always has the look on her face like Aaron's been eating refried beans all day and just let one rip. She's a smug, arrogant, all-around unpleasant bitch. And I really wish they'd do an episode where the judges are thrown into the kitchen and have to display their skills. That's what I loved about Top Chef Masters.....seeing some former guest judges come to the realization of how truly fucking difficult the ridiculous challenges are.

Yep, Alex Guarnaschelli. She's the executive chef at Butter in NYC.

This is a background noise show for me at best, and I couldn't follow the champions rounds at all. The guide always said NEW but I swore they were repeats and I would quit halfway through. I'm slightly more interested now because I can hope that someone uses red onions whenever whatshisface is a judge. Take the fucking things out of the pantry if they're going to cost people points. asshole

Did they ever finish the Champions round? Its like they got to a certain point and just ended it. I agree I didn't like the way it was structured. It seems like they should have done like Top Chef Masters, where you advance to the next round.

Yes they finished all 4 rounds. No one won more than 1 round though, so I guess in the end it didn't matter that the earlier competitors...

I don't understand how they decided on the order - it seems like the winner of the $10K in the first round would have an unfair chance to win a lot more money than the unlucky 3 who don't get to compete until the final round...

^^maybe they are too busy being CHEFS to watch every episode.

I'm glad arrogant azz did not win.

I wanted the struggling chef to win!

I love though that after 2 chefs used raw red onions in the first round and were scolded by that judge they BOTH used raw red onions again in the second round!

And do these contestants not watch this show? I know I've seen that judge lecturing someone else about raw onions on an earlier season. He even gave him the advice that he should at least soak the sliced onion in ice water for a few minutes to tone them down if he really wanted to use them in the dish. You'd think at...

Red Oniongate was awkward and bizarre. They need to fire that judge.

The female judge is kinda scary.

Why do they give them proteins that generally take longer than 20 minutes to cook properly in the appetizer round? Seems a bit ridiculous.

I thought it was funny the same judge kept getting stiffed on the food. He was really upset about not getting a fritter.

I wish they had kicked sand in everyone's face and given him the win, you know they wanted to.

This looks like it might be good. I guess it's a mini competition between four people each week, and it's hosted by Ted Allen <3 The first episode is titled "Octopus, Duck, Animal Crackers". It starts tonight at 10pm/9c.
