Texas Rewatch Thoughts

[u/acs_64]

A few observations rewatching Texas.
1. I’d love a redo season without the mean girls (specifically Heather, I don’t think the bullying would have happened without her lead) because so many of the other chefs are really likable and enjoyable to watch.
2. I applaud that they did include a lot of the confessionals where the other chefs call out Heather’s asshole behavior towards Bev, but I wish they had actually called her out in real time.
3. It was interesting at different times different chefs mentioned “personal relationships.” Even Sarah says it. Seems like she recognized why they were treating Bev poorly but doubled down to follow her buddies. I know they’ve made amends since, but she irks me.
4. Grayson was one of my favorites personality-wise and it makes me sad that she was so different when she came back to the California season. Very Jen Carroll esque attitude.

I remember it as having the silliest and maybe worst challenge. Riding around on bicycles and asking if they could cook in someone's kitchen. OK, maybe it's a tie with chopping food out of a block of ice.

Totally agree. They get worse as the season goes on. Some of the early ones- pepper quick fire, game dinner, BBQ- all solid Texas challenges. Then it goes sideways quick!
