We watch Chopped and Cupcake Wars as well as DDD. The only problem I have with the first two shows (Chopped especially) is the idea of demanding winning recipes, out of some pretty goofy ingredients, in a short period of time.
It’s fun to watch them hustle about, and some display a bad side of themselves at time (a woman last week was pretty egotistic...), but these people are already successful, and to win a display at an event, or be a champion chef, would likely be better served with more time for imagination. Just a little peeve of mine...
