Secret Chef

I love cooking shows - Top Chef, Master Chef, etc., which is why I thought I'd like this. I liked most of it. Animated "Chefy" almost made me quit this show - so annoying & silly. I liked the cooking challenges but found the "Reviews" section confusing & too fast to fully comprehend. I also didn't see the point of everyone having an Alias - Chef Donut, Chef Arugula, etc.. The White Elephant challenge was probably the best.... who knew it was possible to cook with a clothing steamer or iron?

If there's a Season 2: get rid of animated "Chefy", and still give everyone a printout of the reviews - all without aliases or names.

This show is good. I liked the concept. Was enjoying the chefs and challenges. I could only sit thru 2 episodes though. They use a CGI/AI host that gets irritating quickly. Definitely an AI wrote this because the jokes are horrible. Also the voice is high pitched I think it's that sound only dogs can hear. I couldn't take another minute of the cheffy host. If you're looking for a cooking show there are much better shows out there. If you do decide to watch you will probably need to mute the sound during the cheffy segments. I hope AI isn't the way tv is going because I won't watch. And no I'm not in the industry.

I thought it was super entertaining and i binged watched it all in like a day and a half. I would deff watch season 2. Was it fantastic? No. Entertaining enough? Yes! I thought Cheffy was super cute and i loved the animation. It was fun to see. I also liked how they all secretly judged each others meal.

However, I was disappointed in the finale and the ending with David Chang was weird to me. Why was he looking throughaathe window as the last two cooks were cooking? His personality wasn't pleasant either. He was constantly cratiquiag at the last two contestants (Don't want to spoil the names.)

I really enjoyed this show, and I've watched a lot of cooking shows over the years. I thought the addition of "Cheffy" was brilliant - comes across as almost psychopathic at times, and I loved it. There was a bit of a post-apocalyptic feel to it somehow, and I thought there were a lot of unique qualities that kept me guessing throughout.

I really hope there's another series because it was refreshing to watch and I binged the whole thing in two days.

Only thing I'd like to add is I'd love to see more plant-based cooking in these shows, because there could be so much creativity potential there and I think it would help keep that edge.

I started out quite enjoying it, a bit of a different concept. Quickly some of the contestants became quite unlikeable. I like food shows and there are shows out there that show that whilst it is a competition you don't have to tear down other contestants or strategise against them, pity nobody told some of these jerks. I kept watching to hope those ones would be eliminated.

I do wonder how much is scripted or they are given a role to play on screen, Just when they got rid of some of the jerks they sadly reappeared in various episodes, a couple were insufferable. Social media success does not always translate well to tv. The wrong person wins in my opinion.
