Cooking competitions have had mixed success on network television. The Taste on ABC can hardly be considered a hit but it’s survived for three seasons. Meanwhile, The American Baking Competition on CBS was dropped after one. How will Food Fighters perform for NBC? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned to find out.
On Food Fighters, home cooks compete with professional chefs to see who can make the cook’s signature dish the best. The game show is hosted Adam Richman and the pro chefs include Cat Cora, Elizabeth Falkner, Duff Goldman, Lorena Garcia, Jet Tila, and G. Garvin.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
9/10 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Food Fighters TV show? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
My family and I make that one of our family shows. With so much garbage on the air, it’s so nice to sit down and watch as a family a fun, competitive show. Plus, America loves Adam Richmond. Please keep the show on the air.
My husband and I would live to see Food Fighters renewed. We love Adam Richmond, and the whole premise of the show.
I would like to see the show renewed! …I really like it!
Great show Love seeing home recipes against pros. Like Cat Cora. Fun seeing a pro burn theirs. Adam is enjoyable!!! Please renew!!! Jeff
I love this show and am real sad the season is already over I hope you show reruns so my family who do not own computers can watch it. Hope it succeeds for many more seasons.
How can a home cook beat an Iron Chef, some have asked? Easily. It just goes to prove that ordinary food, if done right by the home cook with a tried and true family recipe, can be better than an elaborate revision done by a noted chef. Not everyone’s taste is the same. By the judges being ordinary people, the food is judged by taste, not solely by presentation nor the use of expensive off-the-wall ingredients. Sometimes simpler is better. Great show, very entertaining. When does Season 2 start? 🙂
What have you people been watching. No one so far has beaten all 5 chefs.I believe a home cook can beat an experienced chef. It all depends on the tastes of the judges. They are every day people. I love the show
Enough is enough get it off then air save people from torture!
R U KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could a renoun chef (CAT CORA) loose to these home cooks. R the judges qualified to judge. R U KIDDING ME, GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show should be banned from tv. I only watch 2 different episodes where Cat Cora was on and she lost both. What a bunch of BS! I ended up deleting all other episodes that was on my DVR. I’m sharing on FB too. Phst
the home chef never loses. It is a totally biased show. I think it should be cancelled.
I’ve watched this show for 4 weeks and not once has a chef won.
More than that, they give away the winner during the dramatic commercial
break before the big reveal! A very phony and artificial show. Insults the
Intelligence.
Are we really supposed to believe a home cook can beat an Iron Chef? This show is such phony balony! Cancel it!
Phony phony get it off the air
Love the show. Saw two episodes and can’t wait for the next one. I even told my mom to start watching it.
Overbaked and unedible. Throw the show out.
