The show is decent- good entertainment- I enjoy the cooking aspect of it and the speed in which they make excellent quality dishes...
but saying "LET'S GO" 53 times in one 40-minute episode is borderline insane and enough to make one question cancelling their subscription to any and all streaming television services as well as consider permanently getting rid of their tv entirely. Even worse when it's not being used to express the desire for actual speed but instead in the trendy language social-media TikTok Instagram Gen-Z colloquial sense with a drawn out emphasis on the "o" to celebrate a victory or accomplished feat. See given example:
Chef: "You have won this week's top dish." Contestant: "LET'S GOOOOOOO!"
Each time I hear this, my elder Millennial brain wants to Poltergeist into the tv-set and somehow back in time to the point of filming to sarcastically both inform and ask the contestant- "You already went. Why do you still feel the need to go?"
Yes, perhaps this all indicates my steadily increasing age and continuous rejection of younger pop-culture but I'll say it again: 53 times.
FIFTY. THREE.
I counted.
I thought the writer's strike was over? Apparently it's blistering fire is still raging in full force, for this is the only acceptable explanation short of the crew assembling a college-level drinking game for their audience that could possibly deem the gratuitous use of only two English words instead of LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE, acceptable.
Despite my frustrations from my initial encounter with this thesaurus-less reality based television cooking contest, I've shamefully continued watching episodes in hopes the actual cooking content would outweigh the writer's/producer's/director's lack of vocal creativity- only to be let down and exposed to even MORE careless and continual use of the two words that now make me want to GO- straight to the corporate headquarters of Fox Broadcasting Company to file a professionally written 20+ page complaint while simultaneously initiating a petition at Change.org with the shared goal of altering this egregious overuse of a casual term in an effort to save society's eardrums.
Writing this unfortunate and painstakingly detailed review has shaved just under an hour off of my life and undoubtedly made me hungry and feel the need to cook something, however as I am currently out of groceries I'll need to proceed to my nearest local store first-
Let's go.
