I enjoyed the show but admit i did forward over some scenes as it was drawn out at times. The lighting, music and banter of host were too much throughout. As mentioned by others lack of diversity upset me. Not one African country was visited and there was one chef from the whole continent? Ridiculous! The finale was the worst of all episodes - i was shocked by the winner who stuck with a safe dish he had cooked many times before. If there is a season two my advice is to SIMPLIFY! Get rid of audience, crazy music and lighting. Showcase more unusual countries and more diverse chefs!
