I'll admit it, I was a fan of the first season of Food Wars. The original premise of the show was to pit two rival restaurants in a city to a blind taste test. The tasters usually included a super fan from each restaurant, a critic, and two local celebrities. It was always fun watching the super fans to see if they can guess their favorite restaurant or eff up and pick the rival restaurant. Also, the concept is something we dudes employ - if there are arguments of who serves the best dish, why not try both the same night to settle the dispute...right guys?Any who, season 2 has been airing and the new format b-lows. Instead of having a blind taste test, the restaurants now present their dish to the judges and they get to talk about the food - pretty dumb in my opinion. That was the whole fun trying to guess based on taste alone without any other factors. Also, they've dropped the super fans and added the host as a judge. Again, another terrible move as the super fans potential to guess the wrong dish made it a reason to watch. Pretty awesome when the super fans talk loads of trash and then incorrectly picking the rival dish. Finally, having the host be part of the judging makes no friggin sense, since she already tastes each dish in the respective restaurant kitchens to begin with. Needless to say, this series is definitely going to be deleted from the tivo...maybe I'll give the rip-off Food Feuds a try...

I completely agree! And although Camille not too hard on the eyes (but nothing spectacular), she should definitely not be a judge! First of all, it does not appear as if she knows what she is talking about in regards to food. But premise of a blind taste test is completely lost. Plus, Camille is annoying as a judge!
