If you're doing a local food competition, it's fine. It is an entertaining show with so much talent. However, if you're going to have the audacity to put the globe in the beginning of ever episode and frame it as a "global" competition, it's definitely off-putting. You stick in one token East Asian team while you have France, Spain, USA, UK, Mexico, Brazil basically all of the Western world. Where is Asia??? China - a country just overflowing with culinary depth; Vietnam - a country filled with the mixture of Asian and French cuisine; South Korea, Thailand, Mongolia, Russia, etc. And why aren't there more Asian dishes they are preparing throughout the competition either?? Don't frame it as a world wide competition if you've just decided to leave half of the world out.

I actually didn't realize how much of a patriarchal society we live in until the tables were turned entirely like in this film. This is the first time I've come into rate a movie on iMDb as I was so shocked on many accounts watching this movie. It makes you think how much women have adjusted their behavior, acted accordingly in order to live in a male-dominated society. By seeing women act horribly, but actually very similarly to men in today's society, it re-emphasizes how men still dominate the society we live in today. (Then again not all men are horrible, but some men think it's okay to act in a certain way because they are men.) I think about how I have been conditioned to act a certain way in order to fit into an order that has already been set largely by men. I think about all the men (and women) who enforce certain stereotypes on women. I think about how many rules I have to follow because I am a woman. Anyways, really recommend watching it with both men and women!
