It's Season 11 of the Food Network Star competition, and Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis are in charge, which can mean only one thing. This year's contest is set to be the most demanding yet, with trying challenges week after week, as well as a roster of special guests expecting excellence, plus emotional evaluations and difficult decisions that must be made.

The competition kicks off on Sunday night (at 9|8c), and even in the first episode, Bobby and Giada will be outfitted with their signature high expectations, ready to relay to the finalists just how monumental this job interview is. Take a look at the photo above to get a peek at Sunday's premiere. Judging by Bobby's and Giada's focused glares and Bobby's palms-up shrug, it seems as though someone just in front of them has left them wondering. What do you think could have caused this reaction from the mentors, and who do you think is responsible for it?

Before you tune in on  Sunday at 9|8c to find out what's going on here, we’re challenging you, Star fans, to  write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this moment in the comments below.

Don't miss the Food Network Star premiere this Sunday at 9|8c.
