Besides the cloche mentions, cut fingers/hands, and Conant’s ridiculous aversion to onions, most of these other things have happened only once or twice in all the episodes I’ve seen. You did forget one, however: Conant complaining about someone’s pasta. You’d get drunk on that one alone. ---

I think you forgot “Chef uses ingredient in main course round after being criticized for using it in the appetizer” and “chef is overly reliant on bacon.” Oh, and maybe “Food Network and Ted both get the name of the food item entirely wrong.” There were some “Chinese Gooseberries” once that very much weren’t. ---

You also forgot Conant’s aversion to black pepper, as well as his insistence that the presence of cheese in any dish also containing seafood is “wrong”. Conant’s a pain in the ass. ---

> [@Onomatopoeia](#): > > Besides the cloche mentions, cut fingers/hands, and Conant’s ridiculous aversion to onions, most of these other things have happened only once or twice in all the episodes I’ve seen… It seems like every ep I catch, someone leaves an ingredient off. And it is Scott Conant who complains about the pasta in the funniest way. He looks actively furious when he sees someone putting it back in the water or something. Ha. ---

Take a drink: Contestant tastes and then retastes food using the same unwashed spoon Finish the drink: Contestant drops food and then continues using it ---

Take a drink: One or more judges gets dramatically concerned about the amount of time it’s taking for one or more contestants to prepare a dish Finish the drink: If Alex Guarnaschelli becomes so concerned about the time issue that she does one of the following: - Looks as though she is suffering from extreme constipation - Looks as though she is about to wet her pants/skirt - Lays her head on the table Finish the bottle: If a contestant finishes in plenty of time and makes a show of lounging around for the last few minutes, only to be blasted by the judges for undercooked or poorly prepared food. ---

Take a drink: If a contestant says that they were “thrown under the bus”. If a contestant can’t find an ingredient and the camera zooms in on it on the shelf. If a contestant sweats into the food. Finish your drink: If Aarón Sanchez says that a dish was made just like his mother’s. If a contestant throws his apron while doing the walk of shame. ---

[QUOTE=DianaG] You also forgot Conant’s aversion to black pepper, as well as his insistence that the presence of cheese in any dish also containing seafood is “wrong”. Conant’s a pain in the ass. [/QUOTE] My Sicilian husband yells at the TV every time Conant objects to cheese. Seriously though, I can’t imagine a drinking game based on _Chopped_ that wouldn’t result in alcohol poisoning before the dessert round is done. ---

Take a drink… Every time Aaron Sanchez says something sings. Every time Alex Guarnaschelli praises one contestant for doing something, then criticizes another for doing the exact same thing. Every time a contestant says they need to win for their child or dead parent. ---

Take a drink every time a contestant uses arugula and you will be dead of alcohol poisoning before the desert round. ---

Finish your drink if: - A judge complains an appetizer is too big - A judge complains an entrée is too small - A judge complains a dessert is too savory - A judge complains a dessert is too sweet Do the contestants even watch the show?
