First and foremost I'd like to remind the "review police " that we do have the 1st Amendment and you cannot bully people because they do not like the show. So, how dare you to tell us we are not permitted to criticize chef Alex. Now, that I've gotten this off my chest. I admire Alex Guarnaschelli. She is a great chef and I could only wish I could cook like her. She probably does have some right to be arrogant, but should do that with grace. The show is OK. Nothing to rave about. She'll win 99% of the time and that's boring. The format is almost the same as Bobby Flay's show and that's so boring now too. At least they have Bobby lose once in a while. I still think Chopped is the best show on Food Network . Also, it's just about money now. Alex is great and she broke, together wiith Cat Cora , the barrier of all chefs are men, but she does not have a Michelin star nor does Bobby Flay for that matter. Anymore. So, now all they do is make money. Alex vs. America is average. There is nothing outstanding or exciting about the show. She can cook, that's for sure. I wish she'd stop telling the audience how much she hates losing. We already know, so pls cook and don't be redundant.

Good idea, rotten final product. Self promotion for Guy who is so annoying and a revolving door for celebrity chefs making dishes an average person can't afford or is able to make. Additionally. The supporting cast is sub par. Justin Warner has no camera presence and a personality of a sick snail. Simon does not feel comfortable in his role and should stick to judging on various cook shows.

I was so looking forward to this show. What a disappointment. Allowing the best chef to be sabotaged off the set is not acceptable. Judges act like superstars and this has fast turned into a backstabbing cutthroat contest. Great Tuscan cousine is no longer the star.. very sad. Maybe Chopped in Tuscany would have been better.
