Just want to put this out there. This season of BBQ Pitmasters is doing better than last years. More people are watching.
So um who do you think should be fired?????????
So um for starters, the genius that thought it was a good idea to invite someone to a BBQ contest and then eliminate them with a surprise side-contest before trying their specialty. I realize it's a gimmick to get ratings, but it doesn't fly with me. I thought initially that a five-year old came up with the concept, but then thought twice - five-year olds are smarter than that.
Oh, and the lighting guys. They really need to turn off the lights blazing on the side of the truck, trying to make it look like a sunset.
And the people that take every expression anyone makes, then recycles them out of context to show "concern" or "surprise." Sorry, I just can't stand overproduction. Fake.
And whoever came up with the music. Sounds like Iron Chef America. Yawn. Get original, people!
I feel that the first season was "real" and not a game show. I'd rather watch Johnny Trigg cook an honest BBQ than wasting TV time jumping through hoops trying to cook alligator (yes, obviously I watched it again last night - it's still better than nothing). No disrespect to you or the other contestants - you're the only "honest" thing about the whole show. I just wish they'd put you in a better format. Talk more TO you, more about your history, more about your favorite cooking methods and why, more about your equipment, more about BBQ- I think you deserve it and it'd certainly make for better TV in my book.
I'm curious to see if they'll continue the show next year, and if so, what format. There's plenty of room to improve, and plenty of room to worsen - maybe next year they'll have to (surprise!) eat spiders before allowing them to BBQ or they'll be sent home. I got that idea from a four-year old, so I think they might go with it.
