Top Chef: Just Desserts (2010– )

Giant Cat Fight

[3/10 · 23 April 2024]

I have never watched a Top Chef with so many contestants that were completely unlikeable. It was a giant cat fight. Heather was absolutely a nasty person. Did the show seek out unstable people?

The desserts were uninspiring. There were rare gems. The baker was the shining star of a nice guy. Not the most talented but at least you wanted to root for him. Zak's ego was King Kong and his talent was the cricket from Pinocchio. They should have removed the contestant that truly had a mental disorder prior to moving on. He clearly needed professional help. We will not be watching season 2. The overall show lacked an interest and I do not intend on finding any of these chefs to enjoy or actually not enjoy their food.

Celebrity Cameos can't save the latest season

[3/10 · 8 June 2023]

S 3 episode 6 is nail in this seasons coffin. Bad acting and weak story lines mixed with cheap filmography. Lizzo can't carry a line. Jack Black lacked his usual magic. Now adding Mandolorian to the other failed Disney Star Wars spin-offs like Boba Fett amd Andor all suffer bad acting boring story lines and cheap filmography. Need to cancel my subscription.

Disney doesn't seem to be able to develop new content and may be a reason they keep redoing old movies that were amazing and now they feel they need to redo. We need Disney to get back to being a creative powerhouse. Only the parks have magic left.
