Chopped used to be one of my favorite shows, but with the Comfort food Series, and most recently the Grudge Match, the writing and false dramatics on behalf of the chefs (particularly Christian Petroni -- annoying as hell) have really stripped the polish of a smart and enjoyable show. Not sure what the producers were thinking, but I hope they go back to their former formula, because the current one is not enjoyable.
