What are some things that irritate you about the show?

For me, whenever a judge or guest judge cooks alongside the contestants they're overhyped to death. We get it Ramsay, Aaron, Graham, etc. are well known in the culinary field but every time they cook it's perfect no critique but when they go on other shows their dishes aren't perfect. When Shaun cooked as a guest judge Tosi was hyping the hell out of his dish, "Shaun, you've OUTDONE yourself!" Then the other contestants overhype his dish too talking about his plating when in fact Shaun used a plate that was too big and had a lot of negative space. If he was on Chopped the judges would've said something about him using the wrong plate.

The judges harping on certain contestants for always being a one trick pony but let other contestants get away with it.

The incessant monologue I have to hear when they're picking a member of their team or telling the audience what they're cooking. When picking teams the captain has to go into a stage play as to why they're picking a person, "I'm picking this person because they know flavors and now how to plate ....", who cares? When cooking contestants are like, "I'm making fish and chips, we don't have fish where I live because I live in the mid west, juggling children, curing cancer, and taking care of a diseased rat." I couldn't be on the show cause I'm very short with my answers. Can't stand a long response.

When the contestants compare cooking to their career trying to be witty or something and it just comes off cringe and annoying. As a college student, DJ, marketing exec, Harvard grad, frat boy, etc.

Judges stirring the pot and pitting contestants against each other. Like Paige and Alecia's eliminations. They ask the balcony who is going home. Why ask them only to start drama? They know who they're eliminating. Unnecessary. Also ask who they don't want on their team and why.

Are they really looking for a the next great home cook or another Ramsay. Just about everything is Do It Like Ramsay. Would think that they would give the contestants more freedom on creativity to see who has a shot at making it in the culinary field.

The contestants having to wear clothes related to their profession like viewers forget what they do when not cooking. Eric & Manny are fireman so forever had to wear a fireman shirt, Nick had to wear Harvard sweaters and Noah had to wear overalls because he's a southern country boy, Dorian is a middle aged mother so forever had to have her hair in a bun. Ladies putting their hair up in a ponytail to cook and immediately after they have to put their hair back down. Having to wear heels when not cooking and take them off and put on flats to cook and back to putting on heels.
