Le Choc des snacks

So I enjoyed the concept of having the chefs make popular snacks, that was a very cool idea! The hosting and judging of the contestants was very cringey!! I think if they just eliminated the weird hosts and unimportant comments from the four people on the panel, it would be a great show. Maybe they will bring this back as a better show, one host two judges that have a better personality and not so "Judgey" attitude! I usually love to watch these chefs try to re-create a popular snack, so just adding words so that my review will be posted, do not be discouraged from watching just fast forward through a lot of the hosting and judging talking .

This is such a good show, but it is made worse by the hosts and the judges. Completely cringy at times, and totally uncomfortable moments in the exchanges between the hosts and contestants. The jokes fall flat, the little quips are so awkward, they should be left out. The contestants were so amazing, but there were moments where they seemed over the judges. This is one show that I would love to see the judges walk that walk because they come across overly critical and extremely condescending, it was hard to listen to their critique at times. If Netflix decides to bring this show back... Please, please for the love of God replace the judges and hosts with people with personalities, humor, and grace.

I like the concept of the challenges and how they're presented by a vending machine. That was cute and original.

The contestants struggle with the challenges so they seem very difficult and like they might not be giving them enough time for the challenges like this is nailed it or something.

The judges are alright, they're nice enough and give fair critiques.

But, the hosts are so annoying and cringy. They claim to be comedians but I'm on the fifth episode and I haven't heard a decent joke yet. The woman host is particularly annoying because she over acts every line. The guy is better, but is still not funny. I would rate this show a lot higher if they replaced the hosts.

The show has potential and the competitors are actually very funny and sweet! But oh. My . God. The judges drive me INSAINE. They are so unlikeable and their behaviour drives me absolutely insaine. They have a severe lack of humour and any humour they have is cringe worthy, the poor competitors are so clearly fake laughing at each hosts "jokes". Sure they have their scripts , they just make the whole audience cringe intensely. They don't have the right energy or behaviour for public speaking, public entertaining or anything to do with hosting. As you can tell these hosts were a bad choice. I found myself skipping over each hosts talking often being annoyed by the nasally screaming at the screen. Even the way they are randomly fidgeting during their few standing scenes is so awkward it makes this hard to watch. Almost looks like they chose random people for the roles and went with it. Could go on and on but they are just trying to do their jobs, they were just the wrong choice for this particular job.

It is a fun idea and pretty good show. The contestants are likable and seem equally matched. The show is pretty much what you think it's going to be and an easy watch.

The pain point of the show are the hosts. There are two "official hosts" and two food experts, but they all share the same responsibilities. There is no anchor for this show and that is what I find very annoying. It feels like they tried to make all the hosts equal and as a result, none of them have a chance to shine.

With that said, I think Netflix usually does a good job with competition reality shows and I would probably watch a second season if they fixed that one issue.
