Beat Bobby Flay

I think the show is fake . I know the results as soon as I see many repeat judges, Bobbie will win . And why is his food tasted always last . Bobbie really , stop making yourself better than you are . I hate your show, so fake.

For some reason watching people cook fancy food is always really satisfying, and in this show, it's made even better by the fact that the people cooking are competing against each other. What happens in this show is chef Bobby Flay, along with his two guest-hosts, will bring two chefs into the kitchen, and Bobby Flay will choose either a specific dish for them to make, or a random ingredient that must be the main ingredient in their dish. They have 20 minutes to make their dish, then the two guest hosts eat and critique their dishes. Whoever made the best dish gets to continue to compete against Bobby Flay himself, this time with a dish of their own choosing. They have 45 minutes to do so, and then they bring in 3 food judges, who eat the dishes without knowing which one is which, and then they all vote for one. Whoever gets the popular vote wins. It's always amusing to watch the chefs and speculate who will win. It's also incredibly satisfying to see the person who's competing against Bobby Flay actually beat him, as Bobby Flay is surprisingly and impressively knowledgeable on pretty much every dish in existence. One thing I don't like about this show is the fact that the guest hosts have such empathy for the chef competing against Bobby Flay, that they'll go up to Bobby Flay and screw with him by doing things like knocking his tools off his table, or dancing around him in a really dumb dance to distract him. I just wish they would let a competition be a competition, even though Bobby Flay is an expert in practically every dish in the world. Another thing is the winner always makes a terrible pun about their dish at the very end of the episode. Other than that, it's an entertaining show that has a lot to offer, after all, there is 27 seasons as of April, 2021.

Ok, first of all, those people who are saying other person's dish is better... are not the ones tasting it. Presentation wise, maybe, but maybe Bobby's tastes better? I binged watched this, and no, Bobby doesn't win all the time. He wins about 70% of the time. My only question is, when they had an episode where Marcus was selected to go against Bobby, and Marcus is Ethiopian... and of course Marcus selected an Ethipian dish..one of the dishes was Ethiopian food critic. How did they know that Marcus will be chosen and that he will cook Ethiopian, so they prepared an appropriate judge ahead of time? Maybe they had different judges ready in case either contestant wins..but this was sketchy. Still a fun show.

Every time I watch this show, they emphasize that the judges are completely unbiased. Yet, while they are critiquing the plates, the 2 chefs are standing there in front of them and grimacing when their plates receive any sort of criticism. The number of times this happens, and Bobby Flay wins, is extraordinary. The judges should judge without any influences - i.e. the chefs and audience. Its disappointing, and becoming very predictable. Also, there is a lot of times when Bobby's dish is NOT the best, yet he wins. Same happens in Iron Chef - I stopped watching because it didn't make sense - several of the guest chefs deserved to win. All quite political. Starts to resemble the Oscars.....

Please keep up On seasons and episodes! Hard to keep track of which ones have been watched when they aren't even listed on IMDB! A 8 year old intern could do it! I track and rate the shows as I watch. Hard to do when they aren't even listed. IMDB is THE app to do this! Please! Thank you!
