Apprentice isn't as good without real people on it. It has been a steady down-hill since the first season.

Chopped - it seems to lack something. I think the two-person team efforts hurt - but I do like the restaurant critic-based judging.

Thank you for your input.

With missing modesty, I think I make a great point in the Blog post about this concept of “celebrities” doing these tasks and how it’s flies in the face of the original, rather noble, premise of “The Apprentice”.

As for “Chopping Block”, I tell you, the food critic’s take on the food is, as you say, the best thing about this show.

But White has GOT to lighten up, goodness. And for sure I don’t get the couple thing at all.

Marco is good on CHOPPING BLOCK— but the show itself kind of sucks. It’s like in between Top Chef and Hell’s Kitchen. I like both shows but it’s like a watered down version of both.

I liked “Top Chef” on Bravo. I love to hear the chefs describe their food and the ingredients they used.
