Le Choc des snacks

So, I love the idea of this show... I think this could be great and very popular. The only thing that is constantly throwing me off while watching this is the judges mainly Megan. Ironic because my name is Megan also! But she just seems as though she is trying hard to pull off a host's attitude but doesn't particularly have it. When the editing goes back to show her facial expressions she is mostly making judgemental/disgusted faces which also doesn't look good for the personality and random scripted sounding humor she tries to pull off throughout the episodes. I love the chefs they chose though! Maybe if they switched up hosts the show wouldn't seem so uninteresting and make me want to shut it off.

It is a fun idea and pretty good show. The contestants are likable and seem equally matched. The show is pretty much what you think it's going to be and an easy watch.

The pain point of the show are the hosts. There are two "official hosts" and two food experts, but they all share the same responsibilities. There is no anchor for this show and that is what I find very annoying. It feels like they tried to make all the hosts equal and as a result, none of them have a chance to shine.

With that said, I think Netflix usually does a good job with competition reality shows and I would probably watch a second season if they fixed that one issue.

The show has an interesting premise. The challenges are kinda fun to watch and some of the contestants are enjoyable. The two judges are pretty good too.

But holy mother of god these have to be the worst hosts for a cooking show I have ever seen in my entire life. They are dead every episode and add absolutely nothing to the show. It's painfully bad. You'll see plenty of other reviews with the same comments. I can't go over a 5/10 just for how horrendous the hosts are. How can comedians never come up with a single good joke the whole time? Some of the contestants even lob them softball opportunities and nothing.

I like the concept of the challenges and how they're presented by a vending machine. That was cute and original.

The contestants struggle with the challenges so they seem very difficult and like they might not be giving them enough time for the challenges like this is nailed it or something.

The judges are alright, they're nice enough and give fair critiques.

But, the hosts are so annoying and cringy. They claim to be comedians but I'm on the fifth episode and I haven't heard a decent joke yet. The woman host is particularly annoying because she over acts every line. The guy is better, but is still not funny. I would rate this show a lot higher if they replaced the hosts.

So I enjoyed the concept of having the chefs make popular snacks, that was a very cool idea! The hosting and judging of the contestants was very cringey!! I think if they just eliminated the weird hosts and unimportant comments from the four people on the panel, it would be a great show. Maybe they will bring this back as a better show, one host two judges that have a better personality and not so "Judgey" attitude! I usually love to watch these chefs try to re-create a popular snack, so just adding words so that my review will be posted, do not be discouraged from watching just fast forward through a lot of the hosting and judging talking .
