maridyl I watched this show, they emphasize that the judges are completely unbiased. Traditional chicken mole is very complicated and a lot of work. For Bobby to slaughter the dish with raisins, mango, molasass was very disturbing!! I do not care who you talk too Chicken mole does not have any of those ingredients. Yet, while they are critiquing the plates, the 2 chefs are standing there in front of them, the judges clearly have not tasted traditional chicken mole. Shame on you judges for giving Bobby the win over the colorful plate over a boring traditional plate. New flash: nobody in Mexico unless they go to culinary school have used the ingredients Bobby used to make chicken mole. Chicken mole should never ever have pomegranate or mango in it! The number of times this happens, and Bobby Flay wins, is very disappointing! Also, there is a lot of times when Bobby's dish is NOT the best, and in this event it was clearly not the best! Bobby stick to what you know and do not slaughter chicken mole like you did in your show "beat bobby Flay"

rtownsend-51665 Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Bobby Flays cooking, and he definitely has skill, however this is such a farse! Several times I've tuned in and watched Bobby beat people when he clearly and admittedly had no clue how to make the dish much less make it amazing! This show is a setup obviously! Again, not that Bobby is a bad chef, but it's clear it's his show so his favor!

Mary A I was very disappointed in this program. The set up was all over the place. What is up with the sound effects from the audience? I felt as if this was just put together as a filler to cover a time slot. Seriously... It was a distraction. Why do the chefs get up from their chair to talk to the contestants? If its supposed to be contest that would be a distraction. The comments were just off the chain. The contestants appear to be a great chef, but the bragging rights to say that they beat Bobby Flay is not that great for lowering of standards. Its almost a waste of time to watch. I really like Bobby Flay, great chef. This was as if he lowered his standards to put on a program.

DEBORAH SMIT Every time I watch this show, they emphasize that the judges are completely unbiased. Yet, while they are critiquing the plates, the 2 chefs are standing there in front of them and grimacing when their plates receive any sort of criticism. The number of times this happens, and Bobby Flay wins, is extraordinary. The judges should judge without any influences - i.e. the chefs and audience. Its disappointing, and becoming very predictable. Also, there is a lot of times when Bobby's dish is NOT the best, yet he wins. Same happens in Iron Chef - I stopped watching because it didn't make sense - several of the guest chefs deserved to win. All quite political. Starts to resemble the Oscars.....
