Pressure Cooker

I like cooking shows, I like the show Survivor. Do I like to see them both mixed together? Not really.

It was clear that the producers were trying really hard to create drama. It seemed to work at the beginning but at some point people were judging to be fair and then all these odd twists came along. It felt like they were trying to steer the competition in certain ways with all these sudden changes Sometimes people got voted off right away, other times they had a chance to redeem themselves. There was no rhyme or reason.

Ending also seemed odd. I liked the episodes with the blind tasting with the food critics and the family members. If there is another season I would like to see a a voting process that makes sense and no artificial created drama.

I honestly loved the cooking and it gave me several dishes I want to try out myself.

The rest was utter trash. Jeana is quite possibly the worst human on the planet, She introduces her self like she's super friendly, team player, and that whole intro was completely fake.

She lies, pits other cooks against each other, and is an all around #itch.

The finale as terrible. The winner, was definitely not the "winner", it was entirely based on who was friends with who.

Trash TV at its finest. FU Netflix, you suck again. More and more of your shows are like this senseless garbage. If there is a season 2, fire the writers and start from scratch.

What a sham. The producers decided who should win and how and it was a shame. The whole show I told my wife how cool it was to see a show without a third party to influence voting. Then, the last episode betrayed me when the ticket read - this has always been about more than cooking... Really, then why the hell did I watch it? If it's really not about cooking then just produce Big Brother and move on. I don't really like chef Ramsey. He is abrasive, rude and mean but boy is he one bad cook! I have rarely if ever known my chef or been introduced to him. I actually don't care if the chef is a nice guy. Give me good food that I can rave about and I will pay my bill, tell my friends and plan to come back. Yes, it really should be all about the cooking. I will never waste my time on another BS show like Pressure Cooker.

Jeana showed herself as a lying snake, not a sportsman. Apparently she wasn't confident in her cooking ability so she showed her true colors in using what she considers "strategy" to knock off as many of the other cooks as she could..... out and out lying at one point. There were a couple others who were right behind her in churlishness but who cares at this point. I've watched many cooking/baking shows and they were fun and collegial to each other. This was an out and out train wreck on so many levels and i won't watch a second season. I prefer well made shows that celebrate, rather than denigrate.

I am always for a good cooking show but this one is not exactly a "cooking show". It is not a bad idea to have this kind of reality show with chefs however in the end it feels like the "game" overcame the "talent". Not gonna spoil it but especially one of the contestants ruined it for me. For a reality show, those kind of characters are fun to have, it just didn't work for this one in my opinion. Having the contestants judge the plates is great but even in the final you sense the gameplay which is kinda disappointing. And even if you are going for a BB type of show, then, there is just not enough drama.
