FOX won’t be the only network with a cooking competition next season. ABC has renewed The Taste for a third season.
The Taste is a culinary competition that pits professional and amateur cooks against one another in weekly challenges. The most recent judges/mentors were Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre, and Marcus Samuelsson. Brian Malarkey, the winning coach from the first season, was replaced by Samuelsson.
The show’s first season averaged a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.51 million viewers. It was renewed for a second season which started airing this past January. The sophomore year drew just a 1.1 demo rating (down 32%) with 3.69 million (down 18%).
Despite this very poor performance, the network has decided to bring The Taste back for a third season. It’s slated to return mid-season, likely as a timeslot placeholder.
What do you think? Do you like The Taste? Are you glad that it’s coming back for a third season, or do you think it should been cancelled instead?
Problems with show… First part where someone can be sent home for another person spoon, very bad. If your group picks your spoon to represent and it loses you should go home, Nigella is awful, she would pick the worse persons spoon, put it up, act surprised they lost then send another cook home, I guess she gets paid for the season so she likes it when all her cooks are out. She would make a better host and not mentor.
I liked malarkey I dislike Marcus. Ugh. And nigella I don’t think she should be a judge. She’s a nice lady though and pretty.
Bravo!!!!
I absolutely LOVE this show!!!! Am so happy it’s being renewed!!!
I really liked the format of The Taste, minus the non-culinary scenes. I hope it comes back for a third season.
