A few points.
1. This is the first season in which I do not care who wins. I think these are good chefs, but no dominate chefs that I want to learn more about.
2. We already have a chef as a judge. I think Kristen needs to be replaced by a sophisticated person. Gale serves as critic, Tom the chef, the third person should know that life of high class. Model or actress works. Get Kate Beckinsale or Kate Upton type.
3. The fish boil episode was dumb, we know you are trying to high light the state, but โฆ
4. Looking forward to next season with stronger contestants. In two episodes the judges have commented on the low quality of cooking. Everyone misses.
