Rasheed had me drawn to his cooking, his innovative style and was just a true gentleman and good guy! I loved rooting for him and thought he was the clearly the winner. The final two ladies were great too but Rasheed was consistently good from day 1.
I agree with the other reviews that Melissa Cookston was EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Her conceited ways and harsh criticism was over the top. The rough voice didn't help either.
The judging should have been by 3 or 4 judges. 2 with experience, 1 celebrity and 1 teen or young adult who just loves bbq. And sides are okay I guess, but judge just the protein bbq main course.
The plates should be tasted without knowing who cooked them initially so there is no bias in selecting a winner like Melissa does with all the women. They automatically judged the next meal on how they did the previous cooks. Each competition plate should be judged without that history.
I loved the show because I loved to BBQ! I would have loved to have gotten an in depth look at the pits used. I love my Traeger grill. Rasheed would be a good judge next season!
