The Heat 🔥 on ITV2

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Hosted by Olivia Atwood, it's Gordon Ramsay meets Love Island, only done on the cheap

On ITV2 weeknights at 9, it looks okay to replace the Love Island hole in our lives

Join me?

I thought it would be shite but it's actually quite good! Feels organic, pardon the pun

Oh I completely forgot to watch this tonight! Ended up watching Dragon’s Den. It’s been quite heavily promoted hasn’t it? Thanks for the reminder!

Okay cool. Will catch up!

Placemarking because I plan to catch up tomorrow! Thanks for the thread and looking forward to more tv chat😂

I need to catch up but checking in

🥰 episode one isn't too bad, has more of a geordie shore feel about it!

I hope everyone finds us

9pm Just isn't the same for me without passing judgement on belle 🤭

Actually really quite enjoying this

😄 it's surprisingly good isn't!

Maybe because you have to also be a chef and not just part of the love island itv orbit

Isn’t it? I mean I love any programme involving chefs / cooking and love/ hate love island and other similar rubbish so it’s perfect! Also combined with the shouting/ stress and everyone being pitted against each other AND living together it’s got all of the ingredients required for a stressful night’s viewing hasn't it?!

I’m watching 1st episode. Enjoying it so far.

I enjoyed it but I enjoyed the bit in the kitchen more and that aspect …. It’s a slightly odd concept as there was one person (male - I think if you have seen both episodes you’ll know who I am talking about) who I thought was a decent ish enough person by day and good in the kitchen but then I thought was an absolute dick when out at night and quite sleazy.

It’s quite odd combining the 2 concepts. Ie if the Apprentice candidates did exactly what they do by day but then were all talking about who they fancied and were all getting drunk and snogging each other in the evenings!

However I shall be watching now as I am invested!

I think it’s more below deck but in a kitchen, enjoying it though.

I thought it was a cross between below deck and Hell’s Kitchen 😂 I have fully caught up. JC really doesn’t like Tom does he? Didn’t like Akito talking about himself in the 3rd person - really annoying!

@IAmKerplunk

He really doesn’t does he? Yes I can see he’s messed up and his constant apologising is a bit much but he does seem to have singled him out

Me catching the end of the 1% club

Its perfect honestly!

It feels like geordie shore the early days 😄😄

That would be good if the apprentice did that imo 😄

Is this the guy with the tattoos that's unnecessarily crass? About pump and dump?

There's no need for it 😄

Agree @iamkerplunk re both

Akito is weird, if he dropped the 3rd person thing I think I could be fine with him

The chef hates the plus sized boy

Alex is very cute

@mumofoneAloneandwell

Yes him 🙄. Today’s head chef. I can’t remember what the other foul expression he used was but put me right off him (I’m sure he’d be terribly disappointed if he knew) 😂

Looks like he might be taken down a peg tonight.

Marta wants to relax a bit - she's a londoner but her tone comes across as rude 😬

She won't win against maia

Hope so, there's no reason for him to ne so weird 😄

Oh didnt see that coming! Poor akito, he wasn't that bad 😄

Has anybody watched Friday nights?

Catching up now - up at 1am 😪 - looking forward to it though

I finally caught up in preparation for tonight. There doesn’t seem to be a huge uptake for this programme (well not on here at least!) but I’m loving it!
