I really love chopped. I watch in on TV, I watch in online at Food Network's website. However, I must say that this episode was very hard to watch.

Right from the start the baskets where great and interesting, but the contestants were not. Each contestant did nothing but make huge mistakes, and not re-purpose items. Their mistakes and lack of energy or creativity made me feel no one should have won 10,000 dollars.

I don't think I would watch this episode again, I'd flip the channel. I usually pay full attention to chopped when it is on, but I had to put all my energy into seeing who got chopped each round. I spent more time talking to my boyfriend about unique facts on the foods in the basket than watching it. They were just that lack luster. This was such an off episode.

Normally, I love it when Chopped does a special thing in the baskets. I really enjoy it when all the baskets have a theme or reoccurring type of item (like fish, chocolate, or candy.) However, I didn't feel this way during this episode.

Hiding under tall silver pillar lids where desserts to use. You would think they would have great choices of gourmet items, or unique items. They didn't.

This episode was a bad choice of items for such a great idea. I felt like the person doing the shopping for the baskets wasn't even trying. The items where lack luster and the other items in the basket where mundane as well. All together I felt like the episode was a wash and it is just a white noise episode. The only good thing was who won, which I wont share.
