Watching Chopped...

I love this show. I especially love that there's always one contestant who says, "I watch Chopped at home and I could smoke all these guys,"...... and that's always the person that gets chopped first.

    I always love it when the overly arrogant contestant who has never experienced a moment of humbleness in his life gets Chopped first. Then walks out crying, "Even though my dish tasted worse than sand, ___'s dish didn't have enough color."

    I remember watching an episode (I think it was a viewer's choice for box ingredients), and one woman pulled a Pretty Woman and was like, "Big mistake. HUGE."

    I don't watch it as much anymore - Food Network never used to send stuff to Hulu, I think they do now - so when I cut cable I lost access to it

    I love watching Chopped Junior and MC Junior. The kids are so inspiring, and they are so much more gracious toward one another than the adults lol.

    I love, love, LOVE that show. I miss Bobby and Anne together though. They had great chemistry.

    I just remember one season early on where this African American woman was flirting with Bobby so hard. Carla, I think her name was. SOOOOOO funny!

    I used to love America's Worst Cooks? It just isn't the same now. I love Anne, Tyler just is kind of boring and I wasn't a fan of Rachel Ray either when paired with Anne.

    yeah - I like tyler but he just wasn't good on AWCs...I do like the great food truck road trip (or whatever its called) - I can totally binge watch that

    I love GR in general - and seeing the dichotomy of him in Masterchef to Hell's kitchen is funny - of course, I might be biased because he's also a triathlete and responded to a tweet I sent one once...

    Did you end up sending one of those tweets where you post a picture of your food and he comments on it hilariously?

    no - it was to actually wish him luck in his triathlon and ask his nutrition plan (he did Ironman World Championships a couple of years ago)

    but those tweets are hilarious

    Me too!! There was one episode where durian was a basket ingredient, and I thought the contestants were going to lose their minds.

    Anyone seen the after the show when the judges try to cook with the ingredients - it's often quite funny
