Chopped is always amazing. The show literally writes itself. With the judges of the highest caliber that this show is providing, again, it should have no chance of coming up short.
The new host, Liza, is AWFUL and has no business in a food show. She doesn't even make an attempt to learn anything about food or the ingredients or cooking styles. Why is she on this? She makes horrible jokes that no one likes or laughs at, creates terrible awkwardness, and she can't speak to the contestants about what they're doing due to lack of knowledge. The only thing she brings to the show is tension because nobody else on the show will talk to her or appreciates her presence.
