I have watched Chopped, and I remember seeing an episode where somebody wouldn’t eat something.
It isn’t my favorite though. I don’t enjoy the frenzy and chaos created by any program that imposes unrealistic and arbitrary deadlines, and the ingredient combinations in the baskets are frequently ludicrous.
The gay aspect doesn’t bother me until somebody starts to use a cooking or design show for advocacy. That’s inappropriate and I will change the channel.
I don’t care that they’re gay. That’s between them and God. What bothers me is that I fail to see any connection with cooking and gayness.
That said, I only watch “Chopped” because my wife likes it, and the only other thing I can find that I like is “Everybody Loves Raymond”. It’s a fine show, but I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times. Usually I read, or nap. Or lately, I’ve gotten back into trumpet plalying after 50 years away and will practice som.
