After watching several seasons of the Australian version I was happy to see a North American incarnation... however, shortly into the episode I soon realised that it would fall very short of a low bar. Sadly, I think the choice of contestants was poor and perhaps just wrong as their basic cooking skills seem to be not their strength and thus not a solid foundation for the show. The Australian premise is that the couples competing are striving for a restaurant theme for their food and have adequate cooking skills whereas this series seems to have lost that focus and in place created a lame reality type show.
... so disappointed!
