They get a tech demo on how to make pastry cream but they were on their own to figure out upside cake?
This. When they announced the challenge I was like, "So I obviously missed episodes where they showed this technique before because they can't be expecting them to do this with no demonstration of it."

Is anyone still watching this? I was a little surprised about Mike making the final three since the last person eliminated Emma? got cut because her dessert didn't have any really discernable chocolate yet Mike was fine? I agree that he probably had the neatest presentation and maybe the advantage helped but really?

I am so ready for Siwa to go. I've only seen her on a couple things but she's annoying. Otherwise, I hope her talk with Staff will sink in and she'll settle down and stop being cute.
I'm hoping BAG hurries up and goes also. I don't know what his deal is with Black Chyna but not everyone finds his sense of humor amusing.
I'll be surprised if Tara Reid makes it far but I'd like to see her try but yes, the cigarettes were a dumb idea.
Not sure what to make of Jack Osborne either.

I'll probably forget this is on so won't faithfully watch but I just know they're going to wear out the whole American Dream nonsense before long and actually, I think they already have.
As for the chefs, if Jason has worked under so many accomplished chefs, why is he even on this show and behaving like an @ss? Mr. Quiddich can leave any time and guy cooking pasta from the box won't make that mistake again or at least put salt in your darn water. I'm over that one one female personal chef whose reaction to GR's critique was to giggle like a school girl. And miss burned salmon skin, okay you're new to cooking (why are you here?) and the hot stove threw you...I don't know what to say about that... I did love GR telling miss vegan scallop chef that he's not a vegan, hah!

Good thing this came on early on the West coast otherwise I'd have been annoyed I missed another program since it was pretty much a preview/recap of previous seasons with the duets and the one-off reveal of a celeb who just wanted to do it for the heck of it.
-
That was completely anti-climatic and yes, the final three was no surprise. And agree, don't know if I'd watch this again. Though I will miss the dogs.
Meh, bring on Special Forces: World's Toughest.

I keep forgetting this is on. I did like the episodes I saw last year. It's always nice to see Anna Olson.

Yes, Ariel annoyed me but I did appreciate her realizing she hadn't performed well during the mission and seemed fine with going.
Paul and Marshawn can get over themselves anytime now. Adam can go either way.
It'll be interesting to see what happens now that they no longer will have base commanders and will just all have to work together.
Also, how do you not realize your dog has gotten loose? The AI didn't think to alert them (I mean obviously it was done deliberately but still).

I'm fine with the winner but again, this show needs more in line with other competitive cooking shows. It doesn't matter that these are amateur/home cooks. I want more of a competitive edge to this instead of everyone cooking their own food based on some random subject the judges throw out at them.

Oh, I didn't watch the voting portion after the mission. I figured Paul was a goner.

Who knows if there was an actual altercation (I think if there had been, one or both would have been asked to leave). I know these types of shows edit and also encourage contestants to say or do things on camera and a lot of it we never see or hear about due to NDAs.
-
Yes, also color me surprised Leanna is in the final since I was pretty sure it would be Relle (even if Relle annoyed me). Brad or Salma for the win but they really, really, really need to change the format of this show if they have another season. All these vague, "make a recipe that made your spouse fall in love with you" challenges suck and serve no purpose in showing us which cook is actually more technically proficient or imaginative.
Do better show.

I turned this off once they were all back in the airlock. Not sorry to see Andy gone because he was annoying with all his talking.
I agree with the Ariel thinks she's entitled and Adam can get on that train as well.
I can see Portia thinking it was her time to be BC but oh well. She at least lived to try another day...

So I guess next week we'll find out who the finalists are. Which will be good, I guess. I still wish this show would follow a traditional cooking competition show instead of all of these random dishes. Between the judges and all of their, I can feel your soul and all of the crying contestants, it's overkill. They could tweak this show without much effort.

I don't recall Ramsey being this nasty on his UK shows. It's just got to be some schtick that got pulled out for his US shows. Why, I have no idea. I watched enough of the show to see Brynn of team pork chop try and talk over Ramsey and friends and then go back and tell them to cook the chops to 130 and then I was out. And JB is still his usual obnoxious self.

Ugh, why all this mishmash of recipes?! Building a competition around "themes" like holiday dishes or dishes that give you warm fuzzies is not an actual fair way to base a competition. How would you break up this into categories in a book. That holiday challenge included three or four desserts if you include the sweet potato casserole and the rest were savory. Will there be a dessert chapter and a sides chapter and a mains chapter or what?
I can't believe this forum is the only one complaining about this format.

I think Lance and Ariel both have issues as far as this competition goes. But it does seem some of the males have easily bruised egos. I wonder how long it will be until one of the newer additions is voted base commander. So long Ashley (I'm amazed at all the makeup some of the contestants brought with them).

Can't say Hudson didn't deserve it.
Yes, I was hoping over the past few episodes that he'd get his but probably not so final... Of course, that put his cohort on a vendetta path.

I was fine with the ending and as others have said, Red went out on his own terms. I do remember going, "that was strange (or different)," but okay show. I also thought it was fitting that Ressler found him but of course only after failing to fully search villa lobo in the first place and I also liked that he insisted on going with the group when Dembe was taken into custody.
I was also fine with not having questions answered that I never really cared about in the first place. The premise of this show in the first place called for suspension of belief.
I'm glad the show did call backs to former Red supporting players and I was definitely glad that Dembe survived and I also enjoyed his final scenes. And while he's no longer part of the FBI per the AG, I'm wondering what about the rest of the team? And Mr. FBI holier-than-thou agent can go take a flying leap.
It's definitely been fun reading all the comments and snark about the show and that'll be missed. I wish Mr. Spader and the rest of the cast well in future products.

I understand about reading the room, but sometimes one just wants to share their opinion when others are doing so. Are people so very afraid of listening to a different perspective/viewpoint that others have to limit what they say? If one is not being hateful, why can't an opposing viewpoint be shared?
I agree with this but it was obviously going to push buttons and unfortunately as you said, nowadays it's a lot hard to express an opinion and have a civil conversation about it without someone feeling attacked. It's pretty much what's been going on in local/federal governments for the past few decades. Nothing good is coming to come out of any of this unless people can learn to turn the volume down and hear each other out before pouncing.

Lance is definitely living up to his deserved reputation.
Someone definitely doesn't know how to read the room. Even though there are folks who have expressed that same opinion and you're locked up for who knows how long with a group of people, you should probably have enough sense to know what subjects are safer to talk about.

I never heard of the new people, but the comedian looked familiar.
I've heard of Andy Richter because of the Conan O'Brien show and I believe he also had his own show. I've heard of Cat Cora as well but I don't follow any of the bachelor/bachelorette stuff and I'm not all that familiar with sports stars who aren't from my local teams or just so famous that almost everyone knows who they are.

Not sure how the new folks will gel with the current group but it'll be interesting at least for an epi or two. Adam and Portia did act a bit silly during the mission but since it was successful I guess that's moot. I didn't really appreciate them teasing the group about a possible elimination. Ariel is not making friends with the new guy so we'll see how that goes. Oh, lookie we got a bachlorette, geez.

This one was a little better than last week but not by much. I did like they all had to do a dessert but otherwise, meh. It would be so easy to fix the issues with this show but I guess TPTB don't care to do so.

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test - General Discussion
in Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
I can see how an exception might be made for smaller participants re: the packs but I also tend to side eye folks who had to have known about the prior season of this show and showed up either not prepared or just went into it fully in denial about what it would entail from them physically.
That being said, wasn't surprised about Tara or Angela leaving. And I can see why Dez wasn't allowed to return. Being insubordinate wouldn't fly in the military no matter if you apologized or not.
