Ladyknight, you're spot on. This programme died for me and I just caught up again tonight, after missing 3 episodes
What's essentially missing (especially if they want to play a non-celeb program) is the focus on 'cooking'.
I got sick of the 'guess who is here' focus as opposed to the contestants.
I think this program really died with Gordon Ramsay.
It'll take someone more imaginative to not only put a spark in it's tail but to totally make it a new creature.
