I really love the show as I love cooking. One of Tom Colicchio's restaurant in NYC is a favorite.
That being said, I am getting turned off to it this season. The product placement is over the ******* top.
Every challenge is associated with a ******* brand name.
It removes alot of the authenticity that the show used to have.
So, any other fans?

My wife watches it, so I dont mind it.
At first I didnt understand the premise- food is about taste, something that doesnt translate through your TV. But the shows are interesting.
Agree though about the product placement- it is ridiculous. I dont need to see the Kenmore badge every episode.

haven't watched any of the newest season yet, but used to love it. i'll have to check and see when its on
My wife watches it religiously. She's says it's her fix until Project RUnway comes back. I know the product placements are -in your face- this season. I would think they would try to subtly promote a product instead of having Padma say it over and over again "...please store your food in the Glad bags...you will be using the Glad bags to store the food...and after you take your food out of the Glad bags..." Geeesh, it makes me *not* want to see those frick'n things! :lol:
Plus, I want to see how many ways they can avoid filming Padma's arm scar. :p

I love watching "Hell's Kitchen" and the new Ramsey show with the restaurant makeover that is a remake of the similar BBC show.
I have not watched Top Chef yet.

Hells kitchen is awful :lol: But I check it out now and then.
Last nights top chef had a whole coldstone creamery quickfire challenge. Its soooo annoying. It was never this bad before.
The episode with Rocco was even worse :lol:
Create frozen Mediterranean dinners? :rolleyes:

I tend to catch Top Chef when its on, I dont watch it religiously. I watch repeats from previous seasons, etc. I hate product placement in general, its teh ghey.

Wednesdays episode was pretty good. I knew that Sara would end up getting eliminated. She complained the whole time.
