The Big Family Cooking Showdown

Although the season 1 judges could be somewhat sniffy, they created an atmosphere that encouraged good food and presentation. They stressed quality in both food and how it looked. And they didn't suffer fools. The families on season 1 were there to do their best. Season 2 presenters were more laid-back, as were the contestant families. These hosts were lacklustre and not as professional as in season one. Many of the groups in season 2 were simply annoying, fighting amongst themselves, and were poor cooks to boot. The hosts let poor food quality and presentation from families off the hook far too often. Season 2 was a big disappointment. Season 3 could be amazing.
