I think 2023 is the worst year ever. The contestants are all middle age and over. Where is the newest new and vibrant age of new commers to the kitchen and all those amazing dishes of inspiration and inventions ????? The dishes cooked are boring and mediocre in past years it's been amazing with a good mix of old and new. Honestly I only watch it for jock but if next year's not better casting I won't bother watching at all. I hope you find another judge as good as jock and get some real talent in the kitchen worth watching. !
