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

Oh i had to look away at the singing 😳. But I think she annoys me anyway.. too much main character energy!
I have actually missed Tom being in it since he left. He made it more fun and he was less samey!

Glad for the 2 finalists but I’d really want Kat to win. She’s such a grafter and seems very passionate.. and there is something about her which is more vulnerable and real.

I googled to see what they win. It said no prize has been disclosed but I think wf can assume it’s going to be a job / or training / similar in one of his restaurants…. Are any of them qualified chefs? I don’t even know!

I would watch again. Not my fave programme ever but yes we needed a filler before MAFS.

That said MAFS used to be the highlight of my TV viewing year and I haven’t even finished the last 2 Oz ones as I just didn’t care about any of them! Here’s hoping for this year 😊

Just watched the final. Both waitresses annoy me - what is the point of them being so involved? Thought the prize that the winner got was a bit crap.

I'm sorry but this was a waste of time 😄😄😄

It had such promise but fell flat

It did didn’t it! Went very flat very quickly. Far too much time focussing on so called romances especially things like Selen passing notes to buzz cut boy etc. wonder if they will get a second series

Agree, it couldn't decide what show it wanted to be by the end

Also, agree, what were the waitresses for 😄😄 - passing notes to someone you met 24 hours ago, that would be weird for love island even 🙄

I blame you for making me watch it 🤣

And the prize?! A knife. A fucking knife - probably a very expensive knife but what about a job? Or training? Or something? Just a knife with the year scratched on it.

What a waste omggg - why Olivia was there for the final, I don't know, she could've just been the narrator

Yep a knife - in a very nice wooden box that she didn’t get to keep. The winner’s response was ‘I’ve just bought a new knife, wish I could get a refund’ 🤣

No idea re Olivia being there for the final either - pointless. At the end there was a waiter standing with the 2 waitresses but he never got any screen time.

It was all tosh really wasn’t it - Maja not knowing how to poach an egg 🙄 🤣

Sounds like a very short series then?
What was it less than 10 episodes..
The ratings are shocking. But you never know with ITV2 and Olivia Attwood.
Apparently one of the main guys in charge of ITV2 output really likes Olivia hense all the shows she gets.
Well makes sense eh.

Ps I do think its short sighted given one person all the main TV gigs and making them rich etc..

But what would we think about Olivia presenting Big Brother??
I say that as CBB is supposed to be going to ITV2 only now. Still dont get home it couldn't have been given a slot this year. Its less than 2 weeks..
So much crap on ITV 2 it would rate loads better than everything apart from Summer Love Island

If she ditches all the other crappy shows.
