I don't mind Geoffrey so much on The Kitchen, but not on Chopped. I don't like any of the chef judges on Chopped except maybe Maneet.

I only watched a few full episodes of Chopped because I don't like the way the judges look at the chefs, mainly Alex, who has such disdain in her eyes.

I like to watch fun shows where people are having a good time.

Why is Martha Stewart a judge on Chopped?  She is not a chef.  Talk about a snob!

If anyone believes Zakarian is dominating ITKWD, they are watching a different show than I ever watch.

Seems like a personal dislike is going on while the real dominators are overlooked.

ITA with Free.    I don't find GZ unlikable, or overbearing, at all.    I still watch 'The Kitchen' even though I'm not a fan of Sunny.   But now that she's been outside I just ff through her segments.    It's kind of cool that the others are all in the studio now and, TBH, kind of wonder why she still works outside.  I can see if she might be concerned about the virus, though, so no judgment there.

Alex G has grown on me over the years and I also like the others on The Kitchen.  Jeff is silly funny, but so sweet.  Katie Lee is lovely and, while I do have some problems (due to hearing issues) with higher pitched voices, I enjoy watching her and I love how she has her little family now and her husband seems likable as well.

I am always happy to see Geoffrey on IKWD !!  I have ordered and enjoy many of his items!  Especialy his recent cookbook!!  He is a true professional!!!

I love his vegetable chopper.  I have a mild case of essential tremor in my hands and there are times than using knives isn't in my best interest.  That chopper works like a charm when I need it.  Very even cuts and easy to clean.

I can take or leave Geoffrey Zakarian; he's no better or worse than most of the people who show up on ITKWD presenting their own products. I don't feel he is on air more than most of the others—it seems like he'll be on for a couple weeks in a row, and then he'll be away for a month and we get threads speculating that he's never coming back. As with most things around the Q, there's no pleasing everyone.

I bought his cookbook since I know I can get more use out of my two cast iron pans.  His personality on ITKWD is much warmer than that on Chopped.

That Cooks Essential guy is Aaron McCargo and I love him!! He is witty and down to earth. He is a real chef too!! I enjoy watching another black host on QVC other than Jane. Please!! QVC makes too much money to not have more of a diverse host staff. Are there any Asians at all? I do not want any snide remarks. JMO!

@flashgordon, it’s a valid point.

I love Guy's Grocery Games as well as Diner's, Drive Ins and Dives.  It is where I first saw Maneet before she started popping up on Chopped and other shows. 

The show The Kitchen has a lot of strong personalities but my absolute favorite is Sunny Anderson.
