Bobby's Triple Threat

I like the concept and the fact that one chef has the chance for $25,000. But like another reviewer said, Bobby shouldn't be helping out his "titans" at all. It's not fair. And the fact that they have one chef judging the competitors means that you're at the mercy of this one judge's tastes. Two or even three judges would make it fair because you're not worried about one judge who may be picky or not impartial.

I also find Bobby's ingredients to be a little boring compared to his Beat Bobby Flay ingredients that he picks. These chefs are professionals. It would make sense to challenge them a bit more. Maybe the new season will be different.

Bobby Flay hosts this one with his three "titans" as they face off against a guest chef. The three dishes are judged by a guest judge.

Problem one is that the titans are unlikable and they cheat. Sour losers Brooke Williamson mopes when she loses and middle-aged Michael Voltaggio, who dresses like Bart Simpson, sulks and pouts. Tiffany Derry does better but not by much. They all whine about the judges' comments and scores.

Meanwhile the "titans" constantly cheat by telling out tips and time warnings to the one who is cooking. "Don't forget your fish in the fryer." Get that meat on the grill." "You haven't used the red onion yet."

Meanwhile Flay wanders around kibitzing and making goo-goo eyes at Williamson. There's also some flat-faced woman who serves drinks to the "audience" of 20-somethings.

Just another Bobby Flay vanity production.

I love the concept but am extremely disappointed in the execution. Bobby distracts the competing chef, while giving his titans hints and help, and the judging is poor, especially tonight. The score between Hosea and Tiffany was just stupid and incompetent.

What happened to showcasing the ingredients? Tiffany totally messed up and was rewarded by this judge! Hosea practically pulled off a miracle and lost. I've watched the show several times now because I've loved Bobby's other shows. Sadly I'm not a fan of this one and very disappointed that it isn't fair. Why the need to cheat and stack the deck?

I love this show so much but the stylist needs to do better for brooke and her hair stylist. She is so gorg and they make her look like a a character in a where's waldo puzzle. PLEASE help her! She deserves it! The latest episode of the horizontal stripped collared top with the hot pink pants was just rude to put her in! On a brighter note, Tiff slays all day and they dress her based on her personality and it works so well. Michael wears regular clothes so I don't have much to say. Overall, the food they make looks so good and maybe the competition is rigged at some point but I am usually distracted by brooke's outfits. Please fix this so I can focus more on the show!!!

This could have been the best cooking show ever. The "home team" of Brooke Williamson, Michael Voltaggio and Tiffany Derry are as talented a collection of brilliant and innovative young chefs as you 'll ever see. My problem with the show is that it is often spoiled by egomaniac judges suffering from "I've gotta be the smartest person in the room" syndrome (Hi Frank!) There needs to a baseline of talent and taste in the selection of judges. Not just any bozo who happens to drink with Bobby Flay. If they took pains to seek out informed, Knowledgeable judges who actually judged the food in front of them rather than indulging in their pre-conceived notions and prejudices, this could be the best cooking competition show ever aired. As it stands, it's not.
