A competition with a twist. Each team consisted of two cooks. They were tied together and had to make their dishes with this handicap. I watched about 30 seconds. What will they come up with next?

The did similar on our Top Chef. I don't get it.

50 Shades of Cooking. Maybe some folks are into culinary bondage.

I've never watched an entire 30 minute segment of a cooking show since
Julia and The Galloping Gourmet in the '60s.

Tonight's dinner was lasagna made with--

It's the same reason that programs like American Chopper and similar on
Discovery went from initially being good and actually showing technical
information to yet more pathetic "drama" fests. The "producers" of these
shows are blithering idiots with no comprehension of the subject matter
so they direct the programs into pathetic little soap operas since
that's all they know how to do. Look how few "cooking" shows on Food
Network actually show anyone how to cook anything.

I didn't know there were any, except repeats.

It's unfortunate. There are all sorts of good cooking shows around.
There are lots of old ones that could be rolled back out. I would rather
watch them than the disgusting variety of "realty" shows that have taken
over the FN with the drama queen contestants. I don't even watch them
but have view short bits of them while channel surfing or commercial
ducking and even then I hear the contestants lobbying for pity points
by saying they they want to win for an aunt, mother, daughter, best
friend etc who has recently died or been diagnosed with a terminal
illness. Cmon.... who, in a situation like that, is going to be
auditioning for a spot on the show? Who would have the time and energy
for it? Who could compete in something like that in a time of grief?
Okay... maybe a very small number of people. The produce defy the odds
and fill the show with these tragic characters.

The above example is more suitable to The Gong Show than a FN cooking show.

Sort of like something your Waffen SS buddies might have done to the
Jews, eh Nazi?

As I remember it, the sob stories were "Queen for a Day", not the Gong
Show.

As I wrote.... the above example.... Moose's account of them being tied
together.
