What an odd mashup of Shark Tank and … I don’t know, some Gordon Ramsay food show? I thought it was going to be all food entrepreneurs like last season, but we have a miracle water maker, a miracle wine physics changing coaster, and some not so miraculous cutlery.
Most of the contestants seem insufferable.
And this Vanderpump person, no thank you.

I'll be watching the news for reports of backyard chefs who got the idea to do the cool trick of tossing flammable liquid onto a fire. Except they're not on a beach, they only have the lawnmower gasoline instead of kerosene, and they fumble the throw at the last second...

I was pretty nauseated by how Kenzie and Liz went overboard with apologizing to Maria after they (jointly) beat her in the challenge. It was so over the top with them practically genuflecting and bowing amid their cries of "You're so good it took two of us to beat you!"
Maybe there's some truth in that, but if so, just say it quietly and once. The adulation and fear(?) in their apology was unseemly.
Maria looked like she expected no less from them, which made me dislike her even more.

Also, it really seemed to me like the final joke with the rabbi puppet bombed big time, and that's why Colin was going overboard so much with his reaction, to try to save it.
Yeah, I think they play it up so much as “Oh my gawd, I can’t believe I’m saying this!!!” even when the joke is not so funny. Actually probably more in that case. It’s too expected and forced, not at all unexpected as it was with the original idea.

Did Remy say “shrimp stuffed with girl power?”
For her own good, please, someone make her stop that.
Yay for Bryson. Seems like a great kid.

The Weekend Update hosts telling jokes from the other they haven’t read before, the first few times: really funny.
The now times when they know what’s coming and fall apart before they can even finish the reading: not funny.-

A throwaway line from the daughter about wanting to keep trying would've done wonders.
Yep, that's all that was needed to pull that skit together. Without it, you kept wondering what the hell was up with that daughter and why they kept going along with it.
The parental excuses also should have started out plausible, then a little less plausible, and escalated to the absurd as they ran out of ideas. They jumped right to the absurd and killed the joke.

I can do better than that pork loin dish by getting a prepared pork loin from my local grocery store. They have ready to cook pork loins all ready to bake, with veggies and marinated.
I can't believe anyone on Kaleena and Laura's team was agreeing not to fire the judges food first.
The marinated Hormel teriyaki flavor is my favorite. Maybe next time I’ll elevate it with some pineapple.
Agree, it was crazy they delayed the judges’ food like that. The experience of the other diners is always secondary to the judges’. Their opinions are the only ones that count.

That pork loin dish looked so very basic — sliced pork with some pineapple pieces on it. I can do that at home while also catching up on laundry.

My eyes were rolling really hard with all of Dan’s whining about how crazy hard it is to open “a whole new restaurant!” in 24 hours. It usually takes months and months of hard work!!!
All you’re doing is choosing a name and tablecloths. From there, it’s just like every other challenge. Cook food for some people in a prepped professional kitchen and serve it. You’re not pulling permits, arguing with contractors, and hiring staff.

Umm. Brunette girl wins. Yay??!

At this point, they should just put out a bowl of immunity idols at the entrance to tribal council, like the keychains or pens at a convention booth. Everybody can have one, 'cause it's not like anyone's going to use it anyway.

Amber and Vinny's interview early in the episode sounded like they were reporting to their marriage therapist after being told to do some homework.
I can imagine the therapist looking over her glasses at them and making a few notes in her little book...

I wouldn't mind the extra 30 minutes so much if the extra time was used to show us camp life. And I would like to see interesting camp life, not a stupid song-off. Like day to day things.
I agree, but I think it’s because they don’t do anything. No hunting or fishing, no building a better shelter, etc. No exploring for more resources. Just sitting and talking.
i think they could just not eat and do the show on a Zoom call from their apartments.

I don't have anything against Dan but I thought he should have gone home instead of Kevin. Tom accurately described Dan's dish as just a latke with some sliced sausage on top. I believe he said "not even trying." Kevin's overly cheesy dish didn't work, but at least he went for something.
I say "tried but failed" should win over "didn't even try."

I'm not where I can go back and watch, but it seems like Danny and Angie were doing the roundabout "wrong." I think they were cutting people off because there was a lot of honking and turning and it seems like they had to go back around again. If the crew did the roundabout "correctly" instead of cutting people off (dangerously) to follow, it would be easy to be separated.
Ah, this is starting to make sense. I do recall that the short video of the crew car in the roundabout showed them going clockwise. They drive on the left in Barbados, so if Angie mistakenly went counterclockwise in the roundabout as we do in the states, that would explain the honking and how they separated from the crew. That makes it the fault of the racers and not the crew. Just a few words in voiceover from Phil would have helped us understand that.

You just know there's some poor soul out there who's never been to Applebee's but saw this episode and thought, "Dang, that lady's really losing her shit over that hamburger. I'm going to have to go out and try that."

At first I thought Dany and Angie took the correct roundabout exit and the crew didn’t. So I wondered why they were being penalized waiting for the crew. But then at the mat they said they took the wrong exit??? So how did they get to the task first?

Wait a minute. Kenzie had those cutesie dots on her outer eye? How far are they taking the makeup and wardrobe? That’s ridiculous.

Wait, in the individual challenge didn’t Q’s line just break without him moving his hands? It was in slow-mo and it seemed the line snapped and then they called him out. Am I missing something?

I’m no fan of Q, but he should have said, “Hey Liz, you worked really hard to come to a place where you can’t eat anything. That’s not my problem .”

Why doesn't Liz look like she's starving if she can't eat anything there? None of them look like they're suffering. I want to see some suffering, damn it! Maybe they ate one of the early non-jury vote-offs.
Yeah, I'm about to call shenanigans on her allergy claims. If she can't eat hardly anything available to them, how is she still walking around? And ditto on wanting to see the old school Survivor where people were actually starving and showed it, not just whining about being a tad peckish.

When Remy was talking to the judges about the chicken dish she was working on, I began to think she's not so bad. Cute kid. Seems nice enough.
Then they cut to her interview where she was all Miss Sassy and full of herself, gesturing, telling the other kids to step aside as she walks by. Ugh.
A parent should stop that.

It's just that male hosts of tv competitions never seem to have their clothing discussed. I get tired of hearing about how a woman looks, especially when one is so clearly KILLING IT as the new Top Chef host. Aren't we above that yet?
The men on the show tend to dress in a very typical way, not necessarily conservative but also not striving to make a fashion statement. The host here wears fashionable stuff that will get attention. When the men dress in a way that gets attention, it gets comments positive or negative. Many people here have called the Matty guest judge a slob. Tom’s hats and glasses also get critiqued.

Season 2 Discussion Thread
in Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars
The water maker seems like it’s just a dehumidifier. I can get one at Home Depot.
That coaster thing was absurd. But the plastic lady said yes, so it looks like this show will be a train wreck.
