This was a super boring episode that didn't move the plot forward at all. John Cena as a Fak didn't feel believable. I actually think the Faks are pretty funny, but in this episode it was just annoying and over the top. The constant use of "chef" by random characters honestly makes the show jump the shark a bit. One of the best parts of this show is that it feels authentic and this episode strayed away from that heavily. Hoping it gets back on track after this episode. There were some good moments mixed in, like Syd and Marcus' conversation at the beginning, but overall it felt like a waste of 30 min waste of an entire episode in a short season.

John cena's addition was awful. Almost couldn't get through it. Giving this season one more chance. Hate it bc I LOVED the first seasons. Tina's story in the next episode is going to be great. I am looking forward to it.the writing was brilliant in the first few seasons. What happened?!? Such a great representation of the food industry. Please do better. Please stick the original story line and character development. I feel like these people are my family and I love them all. Please step it up and co time to write the good hard stuff. And get rid of John Cena. He was awful. Not even sure if words can describe it.

I used to love this show, it took me a while to "get it" but when I did, I fell in love with it. Season 3 though, makes me even question whether the first 2 seasons were actually any good. There was always the potential to veer into navel gazing pretentiousness, it was there in the relationship with Clare, but season 3 has teetered over the edge and fell heavy on the style with a complete lack of substance. Nothing happens, it's just a windy vacuum of portentous nothing. The only thing that could possibly make this show worse would be for John Cena to suddenly appear as an Uber macho knob end and start chewing scenery at the expense of any last vestiges of a plot. Oh wait... he's here!

Who is this person and why are they talking?

I'm fairly certain that this episode was a literal depiction of what was going on in the board room when they decided to axe this show.

Yea folks, its true. They cancelled this show, then retracted their statement. This whole episode i'm willong to bet was re-shot specifically for that reason and they thought:

Hey, this would make for a great episode. Nobody will know why, or why we did it, but its all a self-i dulgent crapfest; accompanoed by the absolute worst lead actress we could find, so you know, why not?

That pretty much sums up thos entire series so far? That sounds like an incredibly pointless episode/season/series, should we make it.... why not!?

Oh, and if you're going to throw in musoc and what-not, just for the sake of people being from Chicago.... what's wrong? You couldn't get CM Punk so you got John Cena in one of the most pointless appearances (I use pointless alot when describing this drivel as it really is pointless) I have ever seen.

And i'm dead serious? Could you literally NOT get CM Punk, or were you worried that he would fit in too well and do a good job, so out of nowhere you have John Cena make an appearance with absolutely ZERO explanation.

What was the point of the scene with the photographer? I DEMAND an explanation for that garbage? No amount of explaining will ever exploit the truth though: that they had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

It is very hard to remember, but The Bear was a good show once. Season 1 and 2 were great and the anticipation of season 3 was enormous, rightfully so. But five episodes in, nothing happened. Nothing at all. I can't even believe my own words, but it's true.

And what have the showrunners decided to change this fact? They brought in WWE heavy weight champion... and his name is...

JOHN CENA

A cameo of nothingness in a season of nothingness. This is a perfect example of "How to ruin your show fast and easy".

Only thing that gives me hope is the next episode with a 9.2 IMDb. Maybe, just maybe there is hope.
