Patio Daddio BBQ - Musings of barbecue, cooking, and life -- served hot, fresh and saucy

Sad to say but I have to agree.

I have to agree with you; I was disappointed in the series and had to resign myself to it being less about competition barbecue, and more of a "next food network star" kind of show. I was particularly disappointed in the mini challenges that sent a competitor home immediately.
We compete, so I know what it means to make long drives and spend a lot of money and spend hours in whatever weather the powers that be send you. How wretched to be sent home because of a frog leg or snake meat. Seriously, that is just wrong.
Oh well, we'll dvr tonight's episode anyway and see it through to the end.

Come on! You lose because your slaw sucks! That sucks!
(Calling it like I sees it without a big drawn out conversation.)

Wait, what? Only tangentially interested in BBQ? I think I just felt a disturbance in the force...

Just kidding! :~)

The final episode was not too bad; nice whole hog challenge and everyone had the same pit to work with. Still, sorry to see them send two teams home without finishing their hogs.

Yes, tangentially, as in just because of me. ;-)

meh, i lost interest after episode 5 of season one. I only watched because it had the forums flag at the beginning of the show. The whole drama of how they acto towards one another is pitiful in my opinion. T^hats not cooking or sportsmanship at all. Its like Orange county choppers but with BBQ.. sigh. oh well.
