Mark Fennessy CEO at Endemol Shine Australia added; “We’re delighted that Family Food Fight is set to go international with a new home and partner in ABC with the very fabulous Ayesha Curry.

  1. I like this show as it celebrates food & other cultures & like MasterChef celebrates positivity from the contestants towards each other.
    I hope the Americans don’t turn it into a bitchfest like the US version of MasterChef where the contestants video pieces are all about slamming other contestants

  2. When you see the demographics that cooking shows still achieve (MasterChef, MLR), why wouldn’t Nine continue to work with FFF for the same benefits and Endemol Shine look at expansions overseas.

  3. If I had to guess, ABC want something to replace Great American Bake Off (which was moderately sucessful around the Holidays but was put on hiatus mid-season as judge Johnny Iuzzini was accused of Inappropriate Sexual Stuff).
