Review

The "sport" of barbequing...the changes it's made in the last 5 years is phenomenal. It's going to be like NASCAR." --Johnny Trigg, Versus Champion

Product Description

Presented by Kingsford® Charcoal, this competitive bracket-series tournament features the world's top BBQ chefs vying for $75,000 in prize money--the biggest in 'que history. The meats have been marinated; the cookers fired and stoked. Watch as the best pit men and women in the country line up ready to do battle, apron to apron. But before they can take home the prize, they must face the gamut of judges--the Taste Makers and Breakers--with a celebrity judge or two to spice things up. Viewers will have an eye-opening experience as they witness survival in the BBQ pits. Six Champions, six Challengers and six Wild Cards battle it out on season one of the Barbeque Championships. Bonuses include: Fan Favorite and Award Winning Recipes, and Kingsford Grilling Tips Booklet

This review is from: Versus BBQ Championship Series Volume 1: The Complete Season (3-Disc Set) (DVD)

I love BBQ and watched every second of this series. I liked everything about it except the three judges. They were terrible and here is why: Their scores seem frequently very arbitrary and you don't feel at the end of the episode that the best competitor won. The live audience also hates the judges. You can hear their complaints frequently. In addition to the poor scoring system, these three judges had absolutely no charisma. They were rude and self absorbed. The had no rapport with the competitors, the audience, or each other. Again I love the concept of this show, and still enjoyed it overall. I hope the have a season 2, and find better judges!!!! One of the reasons American Idol has been so successful is due to the interaction of the judges with the audience, competitors, and each other. Get a clue people!
