Loving the Australian show, I was excited to see the franchise expand to US. However, when I saw that the first episode of the American version had "celebrities", it was a major turnoff to me. The first episode was painful to watch,with horrible guests with very limited cooking skills. I will not bother to watch the remaining episodes. What about the lack of the dessert course? I am also very disappointed in the presenters. I like Curtis Stone, but there is no chemistry whatsoever with Cat Cora.I don't think he belongs in this kind of show. The guests are petty, not funny at all. Those siblings Brandi and the other (I can't remember the name) are rude making those faces. No more MKR US for me. I will stick to the original and much better Aussie one.
