I've watched this show from the very beginning have enjoyed it and would tDVR it if I couldn't be home to watch. Anne has always been iffy on the niceness part. This season with Alton Brown I don't even want to watch it. He's mean, egotistical and doesn't teach just criticizes all the time.The time he thought he got splattered with some food or whatever his reaction was horrendous. Who wears a 3 pc. suit to teach cooking. I used to like him a lot until Cuthroat Kitchen and he wants to still be on that show being mean. I may never watch again because of him.
