     The article notes: "The result is "Dessert Games," a decidedly sweeter take on the "Guy's Grocery Games" formula. The new series premieres Monday, July 10, on Food Network. At its core, the foundation is the same as it is in "Triple-G." Each episode brings four pasty chefs into the grocery store (actually a TV set, but just as stocked as a real supermarket) with their eyes on the sweet, sweet $10,000 prize. Goldman then issues them a series of dessert challenges, with the contestants needing to run up and down the grocery store aisles to shop for their ingredients."

     The article notes: "Dessert Games Four new pastry chefs are taking on Duff Goldman's in Guy Fieri's market, and first the chefs must turn Guy's favorite diner classic into a sweet diner dessert imposter. Next, the chefs must repurpose a premade cake into an impressive dessert. Finally, the two remaining chefs play a game in which cake candles determine the special ingredient and the special event tied to their decadent chocolate dessert. Each week, four talented dessert chefs will attempt to shop, prepare and plate three amazing confection- ary creations in the middle of a market, employing shopping shortcuts and food-hack secrets. The last chef standing will get to test their knowledge of dessert ingredients in a sweet shopping spree worth up to $10,000!"

     The article notes: "But Monday night, Daytona State head baker Andra Chisholm will appear on Food Network’s debut series “Dessert Games,” a reality cooking competition. The season premiere begins at 8 p.m. ... The format is similar to that of Food Network’s 12-seasons-and-counting reality show “Guy’s Grocery Games,” hosted by Guy Fieri. As in that series, four chefs race to prepare food with ingredients found in a supermarket. They'll compete in three rounds, with one contestant eliminated after each round, for a $10,000 prize. Each round will focus on a different category, and unusual restrictions will be imposed that heighten the challenge."

     The article provides a few sentences of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Mr. Fieri is, in fact, the power behind "Dessert Games," the latest victual-reality show from Food Network and a spinoff of his own "Guy's Grocery Games." The participants on Monday's debut were assigned to use the inventory of the show's "supermarket" to make "tricked out" ice-cream sandwiches. The mandatory ingredient: pork rinds. Yes, there are virtues to marrying the salty to the sweet. But not this."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Dessert Games to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
