Love the show but lately some disturbing trends have emerged. There seems to be at least one couple who has never cooked, hosted, lacks manners, curses - in other words, the last folks you'd expect\on this show. Then there's a new emphasis on "games" and "fun". A dinner party (especially among strangers) is not about hot tubs, dancers, tattoos or educational classes. It's about food and conversation.
It seems as if half the guests should be registered with AA. It's like they came to drink and that's it. Others know so little about food they don't know whether something is or is not good. Still others are so clueless that it's obvious they've never cooked "fine dining."
The hosts are funny but Corbin is a tad critical (these are cooks at home - not graduates of the Cooking Institute of America). The woman is great finding humor in almost every bad situation. I enjoyed the time they kicked off the frat boys for getting hammered two straight nights.
