Chopped challenges four promising chefs to turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. In each episode, four chefs compete. The show is divided into three rounds; in each round, the chefs are given a basket containing between three and five unrelated ingredients, and the dish each competitor prepares must contain all of these ingredients.

I like the format of this show and used to enjoy watching it. Today I noticed that I have 6 unwatched episodes on my DVR and I deleted them. The judges seem to judge based on who they want to win not who should win (could also be BAD editing, don't know). It seems like a death sentence to say that you are competitive, you have a lot of experience, something is your specialty or that you teach.
Get some new unbiased judges and I would love to tune in again but for now Zakrian,Sammuelsson and Conant are the only judges that have any credibility for me.
Go ahead and defend your people Food Network, defend them until the show is off the air.
