You put a voyeur on all day and your not worth watching any more. With all the talented people you have and you put faerie on . Kiss this channel good by

We just finished watching the 2021 finale of Halloween Baking Championship. We were ticked but not surprised at the winner, Renee. She was awful and irritating to watch. But since you brought back a former loser set up to be the winner we really weren’t surprised. It was bad enough the format changed so drastically, but then to put in the ringer, who obviously was at an advantage from show one, was pathetic. You should be ashamed to say it was a real championship. Very disappointed in your programming bias and setup.

I cancelled all Discovery channels today and my magazine sub. You’re lack of immediate response to John Hansen picking on a 14 year old boy is proof you are disgusting. Fire him after you make him apologize. He is a grown man picking on a child. You people make me want to puke.

I watched Worst cooks of America.. first time and only time.. donating money to Planed Parent hood… is not a charity .
I have contacted Acura to not waste their money on ads.. turned me off..
Zillow Amgen ensure Zyrtec Zyrtec. Have all been given the same message.. no more Acura’s for our family.

I WILL NEVER WATCH THE NEW SHOW – AMY SCHUMER LEARNS TO COOK EVER AGAIN
THA SHOW WAS SO DISGUSTING AND DEGRADING FOR HER. OR SHOULD BE. SHE WAS BLEEPED 5 OR 6 TIMES FOR USING FOUL LANGUAGE. THEN . SHE STARTS HUMPING HER HIPS BEHIND HER HUSBAND. AS IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH , SHE SPITS STUFF OUT ON THE TV SHOW. THAT IS ONE DISGUSTING WOMAN. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT Y’ALL GAVE HER A SHOW. IT WAS NOT YOUR QUALITY OF PROGRAM.

1 – Food Safety. Contestant Chef cuts his finger and isn’t required to start over. The food should have been thrown out – blood-borne pathogens. Chefs with facial hair should wear facial netting. Both violate Board of Health rules.
2 – Re all of your contest shows [are there any others anymore?]. The judges should never be allowed to see the contests/chefs. A judge might not like tattoos or beards or women or overweight people or ethnics or a wink someone directed to one of them. Also, do not ask the contestants/chefs why they what to win, It then comes down to who can come up with the best tear-jerking reason.
3 – Have any of you ever gone to a restaurant where you were served food that didn’t have enough salt/pepper on/in it to suit you but it was OK with everyone else? Not enough salt/pepper is not a game-changer!

Matthew R Jordan says
I would like to use my company Falcon4 to make a cooking show starring me Matthew R Jordan and I believe this network can pick a female co-host to cook with me. Also I would like the producer team from the cooking show Heating Up to help with the show. If needed call the BBB.
pam bell says
I watched the kids baking championship last night and was really disappointed in the results I thought that davis or meadow should have won not paige she didn’t even win any of the challenges I’m beginning to think that some palms were greased to get her to win This is why I don’t watch realty shows I really thought this was a safe bet that that wouldn’t happen but I must of been wrong not even your channel is safe from this. I won’t be watching it again also won’t watch anything Valerie or Duff are on again I refuse to watch any realty show at all because of all cheating that goes on. You guys don’t really care what we like or don’t like or you would do something about this
Kristina says
Inappropriate content on the Food Network. While watching Brunch at Bobbys with my 12 year old at 8am, a commercial for the bio of the BTK murderers daughter came on – really? This is absurd and not the first time this has happened either – your producers or whoever is in charge of advertising with local cable providers – are not paying attention. This is your job – if the Food Network isn’t safe – then what is? Fix this or I’m not only never watching Food Network again – but cancelling my cable TV – forever.

disgruntled says
Food network has been one of my favorite television networks since I was a small child. I frequently utilize food network recipes and cookbooks authored by food network hosts. I have always viewed food network as a fairly inclusive company, showcasing hosts of many races and nationalities and food cultures (could do better). I was very surprised and frustrated to witness a food network host openly mock disability and mental health in the recently aired Season 12 premiere of Food Network Star (comeback kitchen episode). When describing a video clip gone wrong, Valerie Bertinelli stated “your making me schizophrenic”. As a society we need to move away from utilizing mental illness diagnosis as a descriptor for when we feel “a little overwhelmed or scattered in our thoughts”. It is not okay to describe oneself as “crazy” by utilizing a medical diagnosis. The fact that Valerie uttered this response to the video clip is in itself upsetting. However, it is much more upsetting that the network failed to see this phrase as a disrespectful and aired it in the episode.
Mental illness is not an adjective. Failing to recognize this promotes harmful stereotypes that we as a society should be striving to change.
Food Network can do better.
Sincerely,
Disappointed viewer

Celebrity Blogger Perez Hilton is a known hacker. He has complaints filed against him at The Justice Department for hacking cell phones and computers. He also has complaints filed against him at The FCC for illegally obtaining cell phone records. Perez Hilton is part of the hacker group anonymous. When he was on the show Worst Cooks and the winner he would have been able to hack cells, computers or emails and know ahead of time who the judges where going to be. He is a manipulator!
Charlotte says
Are there no rules for long disgusting beards on men cooking on Chopped. Health codes should force him and any others to wear a snood. The chef was Stacey on Tuesday show Dec 5, 2017!

Love the Food Network especially the new Bobby and Demaris show. So refreshing and entertaining !
Look forward to ” The Kitchen ” also.
It’s fast paced, never dull. I learn something new with each show .
On the down side , thought the show was better when Marcella was home on maternity leave. The other four chefs are great Together . Looks like they are having fun .
Thank you for listening.
Regards,

Giada De Laurentiis has a serious conflict of interest in judging Matthew, as she “changed her mind” in the previous series based on an ‘eye wink’ that Mathew gave which she did not like. She obviously has a personal axe to grind against him and used her powers in a biased way to undermine and in the end – eliminate him. I can’t believe the network would tolerate this kind of personal bias and abuse of power. I will never watch this show again.
