Considering 3/4 of the other reviews are full tens, and the other is a 1, I am writing this to give an objective take based on other cooking shows.
First, it is a properly forgettable show, the kind you don't turn off if it starts running in the background while running chores. So, some quick pros and cons in a list:
Pros:
1. Decent dishes
2. Interesting format
3. Some interesting guest chefs
4. Some money to be won by the winner
Cons:
Nearly everything else.
In summary: No explanation of items in the pantry. You can't tell at all what options the contestants have.
Every episode is highly scripted, cut like an action movie, edited to the point of losing all personality, The same lines are repeated by contestants in the episodes. The faces change, but nothing sticks in your mind except for how poorly this was put together.
Unlike another suspicious reviewer here who rated the host a 10, I'd say he's one of the more annoying cooking show hosts. Cool bro-ski talks too much and often over the guest chef.
Don't renew this show and spend the budget on something more worthy.
