Has anyone watched "The School of Chocolate" on Netflix? It is such a different competition show. No one is eliminated. The bottom two get remedial instruction from the chef/teacher. I have never seen such a kind teacher who cares so much about building up every student.
People should watch just to learn how to be a good person. There is one person who seems a bit negative, but she's someone who would be beloved in the usual cutthroat competition food shows.
Remember polite and quiet chefs were doubted as not having the whatever to run a kitchen on Top Chef. MasterChef is flat out abuse. Her big sin was voting for herself, though really, if you can't vote for yourself, you don't belong in the game.
I remember reading a memoir by Sen. Sam Ervin who told this story of thinking it was prideful to vote for himself, so he voted for the other guy, and lost by that one vote. Well, the next time he ran for office, he had learned his lesson.
Maybe I feel for her a bit because she and her husband had a Portland restaurant that had a great reputation that went under during COVID. A last straw for a lot of restaurants was when they were told they could open, bought their produce and meat, & then were told no opening
It's not the state's fault that idiots went without mask and COVID surged, but having to pay for the cost of reopening and then being unable to sell...that broke some people
Anyway, I strayed from the point. This show is kind and focused on doing one's best and helping others to do their best. It's a reminder that competition can be friendly and mutually supportive. It does not have to be mean. BTW, the "villain" has helped others who were behind
