Bobby's Triple Threat (2022– ) User Reviews

Like the Concept

[doobiecad-899-820806 · 6/10 · 22 August 2023]

I like the concept and the fact that one chef has the chance for $25,000. But like another reviewer said, Bobby shouldn't be helping out his "titans" at all. It's not fair. And the fact that they have one chef judging the competitors means that you're at the mercy of this one judge's tastes. Two or even three judges would make it fair because you're not worried about one judge who may be picky or not impartial.

I also find Bobby's ingredients to be a little boring compared to his Beat Bobby Flay ingredients that he picks. These chefs are professionals. It would make sense to challenge them a bit more. Maybe the new season will be different.

Enjoyable, but...

[ladyjane99 · 6/10 · 9 February 2024]

The concept is good, but the chefs going against the titans sometimes make better dishes, yet get less points. The random judges have their own preferences, of course. It'd be more interesting, if they changed the titans each season. Who reckoned these chefs to be the titans? Mei Lin beat the titans and won the belt in Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions, so she's more of a titan than any of the titans. Food Network recycles these chefs, getting tired of the same faces. It'd be great to see new chefs enter the scene, which TOC is now trying to do. But, of course, not all chefs want to become TV personalities nor have the time.

Surprising enjoyable

[galaky-50121 · 8/10 · 1 November 2023]

The password gimmick is odd, but ultimately I like that there's an attempt to add a feeling of "this is a secret competition" to the show. I've never liked cooking shows before, but the "points" element kept me wondering if they could pull it off.

I see other reviews disliking how Bobby intervenes in the show, helping the titans, but it always came across as "the devil giving minor hints to his demons" but not literally doing the "dirty work" of cooking. I like to cheer for the underdog and so it's nice when the challenger overcomes a slightly unfair fight.

Happy new viewer, enjoying the show.

Great watch!

[uya-15106 · 10/10 · 25 October 2023]

Fun show! Loved the specialty drinks and bartending element. The drinks by Ginn was so creative and looked great. Always tuned in for inspiration.as a home bartender myself.

The speakeasy vibe and cooking make it an entertaining watch. Cool to see professional and diverse chefs, some of whose restaurants I've dined at.

Throughout each episode, Chef Bobby is tasked with choosing a main ingredient for competitors to use. Visiting chefs then choose which titan to compete against as a blind guest judge tastes and scores each dish.

Can't wait for more episodes. This season was just a warmup. Looking forward to more.

Must watch!

[biancach · 10/10 · 11 October 2023]

Great show! As soon as I started watching I was hooked. Bobby Flay is a culinary master who has been competing at the highest level for years. The show is about different competitors who enter Bobby's secret kitchen to compete against different professional chefs!!! (Tiffany Derry, Michael Voltaggio and Brooke Williamson). The competitors are diverse which is what kept me on watching. The take home price is of $25,000. Each episode features a new competitor using real life cooking skills. The addition of the bartender Ginn was one of my favorite parts of the show. She is a great mixologist! Can't wait for the upcoming episodes :) !

Enjoying the chefs & bartender element!

[jlin-69285 · 10/10 · 11 October 2023]

I'm enjoying the diversity & energy of the contestants this season, and Bobby is a class act as always. I'm learning a lot about mixing various ingredients and flavors on the fly, and am even inspired to cook more at home! It was very cool to see Esther Choi as a contestant - she's a chef I admire a lot and often frequent her restaurants. The addition of bartender Ginn adds a unique element of mixology especially for cocktail lovers like myself! This season really kicked it up a notch - I highly recommend to home cooks/bartenders who want to be inspired and entertained. Looking forward to tuning in next week!

Rigged Show

[alyciaford · 1/10 · 13 September 2023]

There is no way in heck Brook's little taco thingy beat Jose Garces' pork meal last night. I will never watch that rigged show again. Her dish lacked finesse - it was plain, boring and simple. No effort. Jose played the game well! He knew she was way out of her wheelhouse. And who the heck was that judge? One of Bobby's girl friends?? She seemed almost fair with Votaggio's meal and somewhat fair with Tiffany's dish but when it came to Brook - it was so unfair!!! Even Brook knew she lost - lister to her comments. Wow!!!

Good riddance to that flaky show! Try harder Bobby!!! You are better than that.

Very disappointed

[rnpybdc · 2/10 · 13 September 2023]

I love the concept but am extremely disappointed in the execution. Bobby distracts the competing chef, while giving his titans hints and help, and the judging is poor, especially tonight. The score between Hosea and Tiffany was just stupid and incompetent.

What happened to showcasing the ingredients? Tiffany totally messed up and was rewarded by this judge! Hosea practically pulled off a miracle and lost. I've watched the show several times now because I've loved Bobby's other shows. Sadly I'm not a fan of this one and very disappointed that it isn't fair. Why the need to cheat and stack the deck?

Done after Chef Jose's episode, rigged

[Luvya0117 · 3/10 · 14 September 2023]

I started off enjoying this show when lesser known chefs came to battle. It was believable and judging seemed fair. This season with the add of iron chefs has just become a joke. Chef Simon's episode was beyond insulting when it came to the judging and tonight's episode with Chef Jose was clearly fixed. With all the cooking shows I will be changing channels and finding something else. Really unfortunate as I love watching Michael and Tiffany cook.

With all the cooking shows I will now be changing channels and finding something else. Really unfortunate as I love watching Michael and Tiffany cook.

Totally stupid show!!

[bandchadaga · 1/10 · 21 November 2023]

The format of this show is infuriating and unfair. One chef competes against 3. The 3 chefs are arrogant and never have anything remotely nice to say to the incoming chef. Somehow no matter how good the incoming chef's dish is, the titans (hate that name) always end up winning. Food network and Bobby Flay, you really can do better than this. Totally stupid show!! Michael Voltagio couldn't put together a decent dish even if he was given the recipe. Brooke and Tiffany are halfway decent. The better way to do this is have a team of chefs going up against the team of three. At least then it would be fair! Do better Bobby! Your arrogance is showing!

Bobby's Quad Threat

[kjsurette · 3/10 · 6 November 2022]

Bobby is making remarks to his team helping them. He is reminding them when they forgot something. You forgot to put your turkey in the pot. Thanks Bobby. He is telling them to hurry and giving all kinds of hints. He tells them when time is getting short or they are running out of time. He asks the the competing chef, what are you making and making comments out loud about their ingredients. It is not nice, it is not fair. I love watching Bobby Flay never miss him on his other shows he is a great competitor and fun to watch. But this is a kind of cheating which is not fun to watch, sad. Stop talking Bobby.

Password: Boring

[waldoborolibby · 1/10 · 26 October 2022]

Lame concept and the same chefs we've seen over and over again.

Brooke Williamson again? Really? Along with Tiffani Faison and Antonia Lofaso, they' one every Food Network show. Ditto Voltaggio. Ditto Flay.

Once the judge knows who the cooks are, it's obvious who cooked what.

Cutesy poo "secret club" pretends it's a 1920s speakeasy complete with peephole and password. The "audience" sits around with drinkies (Steve the Bartender) and note that everyone in the audience is in their 20s and 30s. Same for OUTCHE'D.... All the judges "off the street" are in their 20s and 30s.

I guess Food Network is trying to lure younger viewers by pretending it's hip.

Completely Fixed

[kimh-06887 · 1/10 · 6 January 2024]

The episode with Jose Garces was the last one we will ever watch. Brooke clearly should have lost. I don't believe the judge didn't know the identity of chef A and B. I really like Brooke and watching her in action but she should not have won this round. It was clear by her reaction and the reaction of the other titan Chefs that they all knew it. They were as surprised as us. I'm a huge fan of Bobby Flay but I'm disappointed with this episode. Is it based on skill? I think not. Playing favorites? Perhaps. Cut ties with that ridiculous judge Bobby! Back a Chef going places. You will only benefit from it.

Totally disappointed

[kimkyrzyk · 1/10 · 23 September 2023]

This show is ridiculous! There is no way Brook won against Jose. Even she knew it.

It's bad enough Beat Bobby Flay is rigged(same judges,same ingredients) but now triple threat is as well.

Won't be watching anymore.

If your going to do a true competition then it has to be fair.

The judge was super picky on the first 2 rounds but all of a sudden on the third round she was forgiving 😏😏 Bobby will have a hard time finding chefs to come on show if they see this episode I think they need more then one judge. Her food preference chose the winner ,not the actual skill of cooking the ingredients.

Shame on everyone for this episode. It was disappointing to watch.

The show muat be fixed in advance

[renaeft · 4/10 · 10 October 2023]

I enjoyed watching this, but suddenly it all made sense: the judge definately knows the titans plate in advance and so, he or she gives the titan extra points....so many times i watched the titans make mediocre dishes and yet, out of the blue, the judge never had tasted such a great dish which was made by the titans!! The show is definately fixed. Will not watch again, since itis not worthy of such good chefs who come to the show expecting fair game and fair critic, and it all ends up how great the titans cook....what a lie...25.000 is a lot of money....why should Bobby give it sooo easily???. Too bad, the fixed of the show is so damn visible.

Not the best

[laraklopp · 3/10 · 9 December 2022]

Okay, I think for Food Network stars, context matters. Bobby Flay is really awesome when in a genuine context. His true appreciation for the contestants on Worst Cooks was so heartwarming, and I loved him there. I really liked him on Food Network Star, guiding contestants. And he's fun to watch cook. But as a host, he just doesn't have it. Additionally, as much as Guy Fieri kind of annoys me at times, I love that in Tournament of Champions the judging is totally blind - judges don't know contestants and vice versa. That should be the new standard. Bobby, I love you, but team with Anne again - y'all rock, and clearly you can teach.

BOGUS

[pbmalcolmmalcolm · 1/10 · 30 March 2024]

Unfortunately, this competition show was just like the others. The judges don't judge according to the criteria given to them. They judge according to what tastes the best to them.....so why bother having rules to cook by? The chefs may as well just go in and cook whatever they want. I quit watching Beat Bobby Flay because they keep letting him win whether he cooks the required dish or not....more often not. The same happens just about always with Triple Threat. I'm done with them. The blind judging is a must. That much they have correct. Now they need to make sure the judges understand that they cannot allow a contestant to win that does not follow the cooking criteria. Tiffancy used her dried blue corn to coat her fish. The other chef made a complex sauce. Tiffany scored TWO POINTS higher....for CORNMEAN CRUSTED FISH! Good grief, we eat that every weekend in Georgia! Totally bogus. Disgusting.

Brooke's Outfits GTG

[gbabyd · 5/10 · 19 October 2023]

I love this show so much but the stylist needs to do better for brooke and her hair stylist. She is so gorg and they make her look like a a character in a where's waldo puzzle. PLEASE help her! She deserves it! The latest episode of the horizontal stripped collared top with the hot pink pants was just rude to put her in! On a brighter note, Tiff slays all day and they dress her based on her personality and it works so well. Michael wears regular clothes so I don't have much to say. Overall, the food they make looks so good and maybe the competition is rigged at some point but I am usually distracted by brooke's outfits. Please fix this so I can focus more on the show!!!

The Fix is in!

[dassid7 · 1/10 · 6 January 2024]

After the blatant Highway Robbery that Chef Jose Garces experienced in Season 2 Episode 4, Chef Jose Garces made an amazing complex dish elevating something like pig feet, Chef Brook made a tostada with carrots and some pork chicharron, she struggled using the episode and didn't used enough of the secret ingredient, I could not bring my self to keep watching this show, it was obviously fixed to give the Titans the win, it was disgusting and dishonest, they picked an Iron Chef to prop their losing streak, this result killed any little enthusiasm I had towards the show now that I know they are 100% capable to tamper and fix the results, shameful indeed!

They need to call it Quintuple Threat...

[wlblair · 1/10 · 16 March 2024]

Seeing as how Bobby and the judge seem to be against the contestant as well as the three chefs, it's five-on-one, so it's a no-win for the challenger... the only reason there's a 7.5/10 rating for this is three bots giving a 10/10 rating... all the real ratings are 6 and below...

Even if it's blind tasting, the judge can clearly see the competitors and note the reaction... no matter how well they do, the challenger always seems to just not manage to do well enough... I've never been a fan of these cooking shows, but deliberately setting up the challenger for a loss makes for a boring show... hard pass.

This review unfortunately does contain a spoiler... the challenger is always going to lose.

TOTALLY LOST INTEREST

[ladyvisonthemove-95069 · 3/10 · 11 March 2024]

I've only watched a couple of episodes and tonight infuriated me. Jose Garces was competing against Brooke Williamson doing a pigs feet and achiote dish. His was totally complete. Brooke couldn't really manage the pigs feet getting the meat off the bone to complete her tostadas. That dingbat judge didn't really give Jose credit and gave Brooke's half-ass semi-completed dish the win. Even she didn't feel she deserved to win! That pissed me off. Why not have 2 or judges like on BBF to try the dishes? Bobby, you're helping the titans by talking too much. This show sucks. I will NOT be watching again.

Bobby Flay Triple Threat Review

[tnboroguy · 1/10 · 19 February 2024]

Bobby Flay Triple Threat Review 2-2024. I know the guy is struggling to even compare to Guy but what the flip is this new idea. No one in the real world eats stuff like that. A small club of B and C list people eating $500 meals?? Guy was able to build up others to become millionaires and this is only for a few. Also your judge that rated a 9 with RAW pork and he gave the other chef a 5 for full cooked Pork is a pure slap to USDA rules. No restaurant in the USA will serve raw pork so why not Bobby or anyone say this is disqualification. My kids can watch other food shows but this is not practical or educational to anyone except dreamers. Best of luck Bobby and cast.
