Is it

A. Ted Allen is that good

or

B. Dean McDermott is that bad

Watching Chopped and then having Chopped Canada follow is just painful. So, I turn it off which is too bad as it would be interesting to see the foods, etc. But Dean seems like he would rather be ANYWHERE but hosting that show where Ted seems to love everything about his job.

Re: Chopped / Chopped Canada

Since I have heard that he is an actor, I am amazed at how "woodenly" he delivers his lines! It is hard to believe...it is THAT bad!

A and B!

I saw Chopped Canada once...not only were the contestants awful, but Dean was awful, too! The judges were semi-lively but the episode was A BOMB!

Re: Chopped / Chopped Canada

The difference being is that Ted is a real foodie but Dean is ????

Re: Chopped / Chopped Canada

I watched it once, that was enough. Dean is very flat. He didn't appear to have much of a personality.

Re: Chopped / Chopped Canada

Is this the season of the show filmed when he had the ""affair""?

Re: Chopped / Chopped Canada

As Maryebrown said, it is A and B. Ted is actually quite educated and accomplished, he's not just a host who likes food whereas Dean McDermott is really just an actor with an interest in food, but he cannot compare to Ted in intelligence and experience.
