36. Chopped
‘Chopped’ is a favorite of fans of The Food Network, and as with many reality shows, it pits contestants up against each other in a bid to find the best-of-the-best in their niche. On the lookout for a culinary genius, the show eliminates contestants based on who has the weakest dish each week. As it turns out, producers like to add some variables into each cook, with some reports suggesting that certain staples are purposefully kept in limited supply in the pantry to create tension between contestants. There also seems to be a rush for contestants to grab ingredients before cooking, when in fact, they have ample time to have a look at what they want as they wait around on set for filming to start, especially if there are delays on the day.
