Default America's Iron Chef SUCKS

I've watched the past 3 America's Iron Chef, none of the Japanese Chefs won. I think it's rigged to have all the American Chefs too win . Plus, I don't think it's as fun to watch as Japan's Iron Chef. Has anyone else watched the show??

I've watched the original Iron Chef in the past but haven't caught any of the new ones against the Americans. No time- watching nothing but hockey and basketball playoffs over the past two weeks.

Yeah, I've been watching the b-ball playoffs too. America's Iron Chef reruns are on around 11pm, so I've been watching that too since not much in the news.

maybe because last time bobby flay and morimoto battled in new york, morimoto won.... now, this time, they rigged it in favor of the american chefs, all of whom suck except for mayb wolfgang... his Spago restaurant is pretty good (so i heard from my cousin)

I think the host is bad too with that dry a$$ attitude. Need to marinate him in soy sauce , maybe then the show will be a bit fun to watch.

The "JDM" version is 100x better. It simply isn't interesting any more. The flying japanese characters and hilarious dubbing made the other one worth watching. The US version is just terrible...

I agree with you guys that it sucks and is rigged. I watched one of the episodes and one of the judges has never tried japanese food before.

Television is the Devil's tool. It will stupify your mind. Stay away from it at all costs!

Maybe that's part of the problem. Not defending the show since as I'm a huge fan of the Japanese original, but the judges were all American so I'd imagine they would have a bias towards familiar flavors / styles.
