Each episode seems to be worse than the last. The editing is incoherent, with no through-line. And the drama seems to be even more scripted than I assumed it would be.
In this episode, the contestants are divided into teams of two (Chelsea and Cayton, Eboni and Philip, and Kevin and Chase) and tasked with running a pop-up Chicken Guy restaurant in Branson MO for a few hours. This week, we got to see only Eboni-Philip and Chelsea-Cayton. Kevin-Chase were saved for next week.
To staff the pop-up restaurant, the contestants worked with the regular cooks of Guy's existing Branson tourist trap and its kitchen. Eboni-Philip did pretty well, but Chelsea-Cayton crashed and burned. Guy gave their team a rating of 2 (bad), and Cayton then had a very real meltdown and walked off the set.
Here's the thing: We're supposed to believe that Guy's regular kitchen staff effed up the spices on the chicken tenders for Chelsea-Cayton so badly that they were basically inedible. That's the main reason given for why Guy spanked them so hard. Well, I'm not buying it. The "mistake" was made by Guy's people, working in Guy's kitchen. And then Cayton and Chelsea got their butts kicked for drama.
As another reviewer put it, What is the point of this show?
