I'm not really sure lol, I'll just remove it. I haven't seen the whole episode yet, just the beginning 😅
Yep! Kitchen Nightmares came back this past week as well. And MasterChef just finished a season not too long ago and is still running. I think the next time it comes back will be the JR version? But I'm not sure.
Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to mess up any idea of what was to come in the episode. I assumed you saw the first one and made the thread. I didn't mean to make you remove it or anything either. Could be like 24 hours after first airing possibly? I can start tagging my spoilers from now on since I usually watch this live when it first airs.
I'm actually watching HK right from the beginning, it's like night and day how Gordon has mellowed out. I'm at the first few episodes of season 2 right now and Gordon's absolutely brutal, one of the episodes is the maddest meltdown I've ever seen from him. Anyway the one-liners are aplenty, I guess I'll enjoy it until it lasts until the other, more competitive seasons take over.Hell's Kitchen is always an amazing show. The drama is fantastic. Gordon Ramsay's US TV ventures are always so out there and so unapologetically American it's always amazingly funny in addition to being entertaining.
I think Kitchen Nightmares is back, too. And I assume the god awful (in a good way) US Masterchef is still running.
Can't wait to watch this!
Cool, 24 hours sounds good. Lol @ the Toby comparison. I think that is fitting extremely fitting based on the attitude the team has towards him right now.
What is it about MasterChef you dislike? The food quality? Show structure?
LMAO I absolutely love moments like this. I'm already looking forward to a scene in one of the previews where Ramsay is asking someone what planet they are on and there is a response of "America!" and a dumbfounded moment.
Every season, I watch the first episode or two of Masterchef, when they're doing signature dishes to try to get an apron.
I think it's the editing. It's feels like every 5 minutes some drama and something tear-jerking will happen. They overuse dramatic sounds. I'm like get to the food already lol.
Yeah the drama because of it being a reality show was probably a product of its time, it's the same for Top Chef as well.
Signature dishes are always some of the best bits of cooking shows, in Masterchef they did it like American Idol, I did watch some of those before, maybe I should try again once I complete HK.
I don't think they do it any more, (and the show is kind of trash now,) but my favorite was the signature dish challenges on Worst Cooks in America. These people would make awful, sometimes inedible food and Anne Burrell and the co-host du jour would have to try it. And some of the people would be so PROUD of their food, which made it even funnier.
I have seen clips of that and only because it had Carla Hall and Alex Guarnaschelli, looks like a hilarious show. I will try and check it out, thank you!
Next Level Chef is like his answer to Top Chef albeit very rigid in structure thanks to its theme, but yeah I highly enjoy it and hope it continues.
I will eventually get around to it, maybe after Hell's Kitchen. That's if I don't do another round of Top Chef re-runs 🤣
If you're going to do this, aim for the early seasons. The later seasons are pretty obnoxious. A lot of people who are clearly chosen because they make for weird TV, and the editors go really over-the-top with sound and visual effects.
Yeah, it's off-putting when they do this stuff. And whenever they "theme" a season like this, you can trust that it will be mentioned at least a dozen times every episode. It was especially noticeable in season 10 of MasterChef, where every three seconds someone would mention that it was the tenth season of MC. Did you know it was the tenth season of MC? That's why they were doing this challenge, because it was the tenth season.
Thank you! I always start at the first seasons no matter how rough so hearing that is quite encouraging
The past few seasons have been mid-pandemic. This season was February/March of 2022.
