K F 07/25/2023 This is hands down my favourite show on TV and one I eagerly wait for each year. This series was pretty disappointing though. Starting off with the sad news of Jock's passing, then watching him in each episode was hard. Lots of great contestants but three negatives really stood out. 1) I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching the pre-competition tryouts, those have been taken out. 2) I learned so much from the Master Classes, those have also been removed. 3) Brent was favourite in the original season he was on but dropped out; but this time round, it seemed unfair that he was give a free spot he didn't have to compete for. If they wanted to give him a second shot, he should have come back in an all star or other such special season like everyone else who has competed before. It felt like the producers were setting us up with Brent because his story pulls at our emotions; cheap move. [SPOILER} Can't say I was excited he one, it didn't feel like an amateur cook won. Also, the advantages that are outside cooking skills, are getting silly and over the top. See more Read all reviews
