I have always enjoyed Chopped and thought it was an entertaining show. We have made the choice to watch it almost everyday, until today, 11-10-20. The rerun episode, which I had never seen before, included live lobsters in the baskets. Even my husband who isn't ever concerned about that cooking practice, was really put off.
There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of cooking display. Even though it is commonly done, choosing to use it on a reality show is a horrific thing to do not to mention considered cruel to much of your audience. We have lost respect for the show and it's producers, and it will never show on our television in our home again.
