I've watched it once, after an episode of ICA.
Didn't like it much.

I can take it or leave it. If I'm watching FN and it comes on I'll watch it, but I don't make a point to catch the show.

Well after watching Hells Kitchen, this show is so mildly boring, nobody is yelling at them, although they do drop stuff on the floor and then pick it and use it, Ramsay would of had a hayday with the chef. It sure is nothing like ICA or ICJ, but in its own right it does pay $10,000.00 for little over a hour worth of work, and look at the national exposure one gets might even get to sell a line of cooking equipment from the show. OK enough you know I am being a smart donkey, the shows not bad, but leaves room for lots improvement and it is better this year then last.

One thought I had after watching it recently... I wouldn't mind if they changed up the host. T. Allen has a robotic way about him, and that's probably his schtick, but I'd rather see a more vibrant personality to give the show a little more life. Sunny Anderson? Aaron McCargo? Guy Fieti would be a little too over-the-top, and he's too busy anyway.

I like Ted. It's suppose to be a show where they are serious and, basically, show little emotion other than displeasure. Rarely do the judges smile and Ted never does. Think that was what they are going for .

I like Ted, he really doesn't seem to have much of a role in this show though. He could be a narrator without even being on camera. It would be nice to see him do more.

Loved Ted on Queer Eye
Love Ted when he judges on ICA

This just isn't a show I like or is that exciting.

!!! Dear BB: You are the angel of peace. You like Ted in this roll (he's not even suppose to smile) The program is the way it should be. (No change necessary ???) But then, why do so many viewers believe that a change is due?

Because they don't like it how it is. It would make them to see more smiling faces, which I understand, but then it would be a whole different show.

It's serious business with all of them, which in itself, is really kind of comical. I find great entertainment in this show.

I do try and see both sides of likes/dislikes.
