I'm torn on this one, While I like Curtis Stone, I didn't think Cat Cora was the best judge to sit next to Curtis. they dropped the dessert from the menu in order to be able to feature two different contestants.

The Australian show is featured four or five nights a week, now I get that the USA can't really do this, but the best part of the Australian show is the dinners at home versus in the MKR kitchen, and they are popular for a reason. I felt Fox must have added this just to appear to bring in the idea that it is like the Australian show, but it's not.

I'm not also entirely in love with the idea of featuring celebrities especially since it's like these are "has beens" and not really the more popular of celebrities. This is not Celebrity Apprentice. The celebrities I'm sure are getting paid, what else would the incentive to be to do it since no charity is being supported by participation.

I've looked forward to the US series, but right now I'm not even sure I'm going to remember what night the episode 2 is going to be on. Sadly, I don't see the show lasting if it continues with the way it started. It's just a little to boring for me.

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!

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.

Even though I sort of like this show, I am COMPLETELY disgusted with how Brandy and Ray J portray themselves!!!!! Brandy comes across as if she is better than everyone else, ABSOLUTELY NO sense of humor!!!! SHE NEEDS TO GET 5HE STICK OUT OF HER ASS!!!! And her brother is no better!!!! Even though most of the couples are not playing fair with giving their scores, Brandy and Ray J are the WORST!!!! I can not wait to see their ass off the show!!! Let them go back to whatever they supposedly did before for a career. They are the BIGGEST SNOBS AND PRUDES I have EVER seen. VERY VINDICTIVE AND CUT THROAT!!!! I REALLY, TRULY HATE THESE 2 PEOPLE AND DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE MAKE A WELL DESERVED NAME IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!!!!!

I love my kitchen rules, Australia, and New Zealand contestants. There are average people.

Why couldn't they do it that way here? They got a bunch of not even be 'celebrities' more like C or D List people. I wouldn't even like it if they did it with major celebrities. What is the problem With using normal people, average people? I imagine if they did it the way they do it in Australia and New Zealand, there would be a lot more episodes because a lot more people would watch.

The American version is a waste of time. There's kind of American versions of the Australian and New Zealand show the block but they're nowhere near as good or fun to watch.
