Comments on: So is Top Chef just trying to annoy us now? https://cliqueclack.com/p/top-chef-trying-to-annoy-us/ Big voices. Little censors.

(Manufactured) Cinderella story!

AND I’ll admit I only started tuning in to LCK online after Kristen left. I’m just a pawn in this marketing game.

That being said – I think they are overdoing it on LCK and Save a Chef. Do one or the other! Not both! It is overwhleming. Now you get kicked off – but not really bc you get a second and third chance at coming back. Take a que from the (Bravo version of ) Project Runway and have a chef named Viewer’s Choice, with a smaller but still significant prize.

My biggest gripe with LCK and Save a Chef isn’t bc it is overwhelming to viewers though – it is that the chefs KNOW it. Last season’s LCK was so great because (you could watch it On Demand, first of all… but also bc) the chefs didn’t see it coming. It was a surprise. The chefs this season have discussed LCK mutliple times! They are ust waiting for that ‘twist’ of a chef coming back. Lame.
