I thoroughly enjoyed this show during season 1 and season 2. I was very disappointed by season 3. I feel like there needs to be a better rotation of new judges. Although the show does technically have a blind tasting, I feel that some of the judges may be able to kind of guess who’s food their eating even if they don’t know. For example in the last episode, Nancy made a critique to Jet Tilas food that neither of the other judges said anything about or seemed to agree with. I feel that even though she didn’t know it was Jet’s food, she took a guess and critiqued poorly becuase she thought it was him. Jet even made a comment when he saw her about how Nancy is his toughest critic. I like the concept of the show, but after the first 2 seasons it seems repetitive. The network either needs a new rotation of chefs next season or to design the brackets differently. Seeing the same battles, and the same winners, all 3 seasons is not very fun.
