I have been watching back issues of Chopped throughout the lockdown. I have to say that while most of the competitions are interesting and the judging fair (even if I do not agree) the addition of Martha Stewart to you line up of judges is really abysmal. Her critiques are not encouraging; they are hurtful. Her attitude of entitlement is obnoxious. So when I see an episode with Martha on the panel, I skip it. I cannot advocate cruelty to men and women who put their heart and soul into their work. Their deep down wish, 'I have to please Martha.' puts a chill into the risk taking creativity that many of the contestants bring. GET RID OF MARTHA STEWART.
