Cocina a presión

I like cooking shows, I like the show Survivor. Do I like to see them both mixed together? Not really.

It was clear that the producers were trying really hard to create drama. It seemed to work at the beginning but at some point people were judging to be fair and then all these odd twists came along. It felt like they were trying to steer the competition in certain ways with all these sudden changes Sometimes people got voted off right away, other times they had a chance to redeem themselves. There was no rhyme or reason.

Ending also seemed odd. I liked the episodes with the blind tasting with the food critics and the family members. If there is another season I would like to see a a voting process that makes sense and no artificial created drama.

This show was not about innovation and cooking talent, it was literally a popularity contest. I was so disappointed with this because it started to get frustrating due to the way the eliminations were structured. If you're going to have a competition, at least let it be fair.

The chef that ended up being the runner-up was completely robbed. From the start they were strong, they did not form deceitful alliances, and they surely did not shed a bunch of tears to get sympathy votes. It really was a complete waste of time especially for those watching, and for those who were on the show to compete based on their talent as a chef!

This show is somewhere between a drama and a cooking show. The lack of of a show host and external judges felt more like cost cutting than creative plot writing. The production quality is high, but the sets and locations could have been more imaginative. This new take on a culinary competition was somewhat refreshing from an entertainment perspective and I enjoyed watching them cook delicious food.. But I felt the whole premise of the competition left too much room for foul play which led to talented chefs leaving early in the competition. This show seems more focused on backstabbing and personal alliances than determining the best chef but in the end it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. I think if they get a bigger budget in future seasons improve on a few things it could be a great show.

I honestly loved the cooking and it gave me several dishes I want to try out myself.

The rest was utter trash. Jeana is quite possibly the worst human on the planet, She introduces her self like she's super friendly, team player, and that whole intro was completely fake.

She lies, pits other cooks against each other, and is an all around #itch.

The finale as terrible. The winner, was definitely not the "winner", it was entirely based on who was friends with who.

Trash TV at its finest. FU Netflix, you suck again. More and more of your shows are like this senseless garbage. If there is a season 2, fire the writers and start from scratch.

So much work, talent, control, planing, punctuality, integrity and innovation - for nothing. The winner is a likable guy, and that's it. Next time they don't have to cook at all, they can just sit around and tell eachother how badly they need the money, because obviously that's all that it takes to win. Occasional crying is also a plus, if you are a man.

I liked most of the candidates, but few of them were just so much better cooks then the rest, still, it didn't matter, in the end it all comes down to who they like more as a person. I just don't understand the concept, and it's a shame, it had potential.
