Anyone else as addicted to this show as I am? New season started last week! Last years winner was a loser though IMO. Anyone else?
 
The premise is 15 or so contestants that have some kind of culinary background. Some are chefs, some are short order cooks etc. They pick a city each season (This season its Chicago YES!). They go through challenges and eliminate one person per week. They have three regular judges and one celebrity judge every week. Every week they start with a quickfire challenge which is essentially: BOOM- You have these three ingredients and 20 minutes, make something (or something similiar to that). Whoever wins gets either immunity or something bonus for the elimination round which directly follows. The elimination round is essentially like quickfire in a bigger sort of way (entree and the such). Encompass all this with all the contestants living under one roof and drama soon ensues! Sorry if that wasn't so brief. LOL
 
It's a pretty good show. One of the few worthwhile reality shows.
Was last season's winner the really annoying asian guy? I usually watch it when Bravo has a marathon for the existing season or randomly through reruns when nothing else is on. I rarely leave the HD section of or cable channels and we don't have Bravo HD.
