I admit I haven't been keeping track of the ratios though.


I just like seeing weird crap they come up with for the goofy shit in the basket.

What I have noticed is that they seem to chop the correct person, so whatever that means.

I like seeing the different and creative ways to use various ingredients, which of course is the whole point of the show.

the right person usually gets chopped. I'm always amazed at the dishes they come up with using the strange mix of ingredients in the basket.

when I did, I kept waiting for one of the contestants to open the box and yell at the judges...

"Let's see YOU make something edible from this shit!"

that the women are normally chopped. I think it is about equal.
