Curtis

I love you and Cora, but this show will not hold me. I want to see what your producers consider "typical" in Germany, then I'm gone. I do not like the grp vote. I could see the group putting up two, and then the judges decide, but this is all about gameplay and bullying. No thanks! And never did we see HOW the dishes were prepared!

Music too loud!! Love the excitement of moving cities/cuisines. Do not like that the judges don't select the chef to go home. That scenario makes the atmosphere too cut throat. It becomes about the game instead of the food.

I agree about seeing how the plates were made. Nothing for us viewers to learn from.

Agree about the group vote, I don't think that's the best way to send someone home. I think the judges should ultimately decide. Change that, and then I might stick with the show.

I wish cooking shows would get back to the cooking. Even one of the contestants acknowledged that this wasn't about who is the best chef and will use any tricks or manipulation to win. At least he's honest about how fraudulent this format is. This is now a show I want to watch.

I love food shows. I love travel. Thus I was fully on board to loving this show. And overall I do. HOWEVER, the elimination by the peers is a HUGE turn-off for me. Enough to really ruin the entire program for me. It just ensures that the go-to tactic will be to get rid of the strongest competitor. Besides, it leaves nothing for the judges to do other than eat. If the winners are determined by the locals dining in the restaurants, and the losers by their teammates, what exactly are Curtis and Cora doing?

I was not a fan of the cutthroat atmosphere. Should not be about "chess" but about food. I will watch once more than decide.

I like Curtis a great deal from previous shows, but had to stop watching this new show 15 minutes in. The non-stop music that played, even over the talking interviews, was too much. Too loud, too busy, and not relaxing to watch. Way overdone on the music. Disappointed but looking forward to the return of other cooking shows on Bravo.

watching the contestants gulp down the food is not good. this is the opposite of culinary. there is nothing about this format that celebrates the food or the chefs. and gorging like pig at a trough is not the way to "experience the food" of a new city or country. sorry Bravo. i am a big TC fan, but this is a swing and a miss.

I found Nookie's strategy appalling and even worst was Jenna (I believe). Is she that much of a sheep to be led into his web. That would not have happened if it were me. I would have spoken up re their dishes (not mine that was on the line). Jenna should know that bubble and squeak is pretty much overcooked (that is the way it is suppose to be). I don't like that the chefs can vote each other off, this does not seem that someone with talent may necessarily win (but someone like Nookie or Chaz) manipulating people (who seem to not have a mind of their own). Remember -- what goes around, comes around. I will watch another show, but I don't think I like this premise and it is like all the other reality shows that let the audience vote for who are popular, not talented and that is the reason I watch NONE of them. I am very disappointed. I was looking forward to this new season.

I have to agree with the others. I was prepared to really like this show but it was a miss for me. Eating food you couldn't really taste because you were in a hurry, drinking beer and not trying steak and kidney pie because of time... then not showing how anything was made.

I don't care for the voting either. Why have celebrity guests there at all? The voting is to political. They talked about voting someone off because they are a good chef??

Bravo really missed the mark by having the chefs pick who goes home.

There is no challenge in gobbling food and chugging beer as fast as you can. Please??!!!

What sort of a blog is this? All you do is talk about yourself, Curtis.

What sort of a show is this? I'm willing to wait and see. But I want to see cooking, not backbiting and scheming.

group decides on a cple of people, you guys decide who goes home. otherwise this is all about favouritsm, networking and "hot" in the group. cook a crap pie, say how sucky it is, deflect the negative vibes to someone else, stay on the show. this ain't the real world.
