Guy's Chance of a Lifetime

The concept is not that bad, but I refuse to believe these drama queens and kings are the best they could find in thousands of applications. This is like a dreadful cross between Housewives of Atlanta and Chopped. I'm embarrassed for Guy Fieri to have his name on it. Should have been called The Eboni Show.

Chopped is a show where contestants cut each other down. The Bachelor is a show for drama. Worst Cooks combine them both in a tongue and cheek manner. But a Guy Fieri show is about good fun and fabulous food. This has none of that.

A third of the contestants are just horrid people. A third know what they are doing and a third are sweet but hopeless. By episode three I only care that who loses, not who wins.

My biggest issue, however, is that if this was any kind of real restaurant interview, Eboni wouldn't make it 30 seconds past the introductions. Her nails are a safety hazard. Her jewelry is a safety hazard. Her hair ~ same. I've seen McDonald's get dinged by the health inspector for things like that when it's just an employee. At management level, that's additional points off your score because you should know better and be an example. Shameful.

Worst show Guy has made. Did network needs to quit making show that have off the wall characters and actually go back to making shows that have people that know how to cook.

Just can't express how much this show is stupid. I gave it a shot because I've seen how much Guy has done for others during Covid and clearly he's grown a financial empire. I wanted to see, if only a glimpse, how he approached the business side.

However, a lot of the premise and feedback is so contrived and out of touch that I'm reminded of why I have never cared for Guy. For me, that all made for a hate-watch, which is probably part of his success. Can't argue that his formula has worked, just don't think it's for the reasons articulated on this silly show.

Guy Fieri launches a show to award a chicken franchise to one of a group of unlikable dopes who preen and mug for the camera as they "compete" in a series of stupid stunts.

This is NOT a cooking show so don't be fooled. Whoever wins the franchise sure as hell won't be wearing a paper hat and cooking in it. It'll be staffed by the same under-educated people you see in every fast-food franchise.

The contestants are all self-obsessed blowhards and the "judging" is beyond ridiculous. A show for the selfie generation.
