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

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!

Aquarius1234 · 24/02/2026 22:47

Okay cool. Will catch up!

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

😄 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?!

IAmKerplunk · 26/02/2026 13:48

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

beasmithwentworth · 26/02/2026 14:49

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!

Villanellesproudmum · 26/02/2026 14:55

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

IAmKerplunk · 26/02/2026 16:21

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!

beasmithwentworth · 26/02/2026 17:11

@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

That would be good if the apprentice did that imo 😄

mumofoneAloneandwell · 26/02/2026 21:04

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.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 26/02/2026 21:21

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 😄

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!
