I seen this one cooking show where this lady tried to make hollandaise sauce, She had never made it before, she didn't know how to make it. She had her egg yolks in a metal bowl and held it in the steam 6 inches at least above the pot. Didn't sit her bowl on the double boil, She held it above the pot never making a seal to trap steam and heat, never getting heat into the bowl she then continued to dump clarified butter by the gallon while her bowl was 6 inches above the pot. The 2 will never emulsify in those conditions, When it came time to judge the plates I was expecting this horribly runny and split hollandaise because she clearly did not know how to make it but, But guess what? It wasn't it was actually a very nice looking sauce i can not comment on the flavor. Complete and total bullshit, You aren't just going to make hollandaise in that method without ever making it before. The best part of all this, the 1 guy who genuinely knew how to make hollandaise sauce and make a delicious looking sauce and I am sure it tasted incredible his measurements were spot on. They critic him, and tell him that he cant make hollandaise sauce, These shows are so terrible and so fake anyone with any knowledge at all, it doesn;t even need to be formal, Would know in an instant how fake they are. I do not watch any cooking shows anymore at all, I hate them all they are all so fake

Mashed I gotta admit I'm getting pretty tired of you misleading me. To summarize this video, the hosts play nice on camera, they have scripted presentations to respect their sponsored brands, a photography team does what a photography team does, and scenes are cut in a manner that would make entertaining television. The food, chefs, judgments and challenges however are completely real -- by this video's own account. In what way does this make anything fake? The only thing fake here was the title of the video. How ironic. Not the first time you guys have pulled this nonsense. I'm out.

Misleading title. It's not completely fake. Just slightly edited or even scripted a little to keep viewers attention. Just like any other reality TV show.

Mashed, You really should look up the definition of "completely".

None of this proves the show is fake, it proves the show is produced. There’s a a difference. And Paul’s season did show him ahead by miles. Same with Han’s season. Han’s mis an place challenge episode was crazy. The man shouldn’t have hands or fingers with the level of speed and precision he showed. The problem with both Paul and Han is that they were sorta boring personalities and not prime for reality tv. They were dope though!

I agree! I did not see Marcel as the kind of ass like everyone was portraying. He may have a big ego, fine, but he did not throw bad words toward others while others are the ones who threw bad words toward him and MANY TIMES threw him under the bus. I think Marcel is pretty honest about the weakness of other contestants. He probably is annoying, but who said he does not deserve to be a chef? This guy clearly have the talent! He thinks differently, that's why he also put out a kind of different or even bizarre dish.

As one who's been on a reality show - there is a LOT in each episode of most any reality television show which is acted out and/or pre-ordained by the production crew. It is, after all, television, where ratings matter. To say it's completely fake however is taking it much too far.

wow... love the click bait...

I prefer Chopped, it leans more in the direction of a game show than a reality show. But it's still TV so of course it's phony to some degree; using editing to create drama, tension, and ramping up the cloying personal melodrama. Iron Chef is the closest thing to cooking as sport depicted mostly in real-time.

It is reality TV, it is supposed to be fake. One reason I watch less and less TV as more shows become "reality"

It’s far superior to Masterchef. That shit is fake as all hell.

This current season (Portland) is the most blatantly fake and biased season yet. It’s bad enough that I’m pretty sure I’m put off this show forever. It’s an insult to cooks and chefs around the world.

Reason why the format is flawed is because a contestant can be first and second place throughout the season and still get booted for one bad dish, while another contestant who never won with a dish and even ranked second to last a couple times, goes on to win the Finals. There was a season where this happened, after which I stopped watching.

Instead of kicking people off each episode, keep everyone until the Final Three, which will be determined by who has the most points.

Of course it's fake. That's the reason I never watch reality shows, none of them are true reality.

It's not just Top Chef, all reality shows are staged to some degree. I think the food competition shows are among the worst offenders.

I very much enjoy how they've evolved to be more a celebration of the skills of some of our best chefs, vs. a catty competition. Judges remarks are less about being sensational/hyper-critical than simply relaying to the audience the qualities of the food. I still hope for a new format where the focus is EVEN more upon the collaborative nature of cooking than upon the "elimination challenge". But Top Chef has been moving in that direction very nicely, thank-you. They may never get there, as that may not be an entertaining enough format ... but we really enjoy that the show has evolved as it has so far.

2:16 what ever happened to the third chef contestant? The one who in this shot is covering his eyes? I remember he was expelled from the competition cuz he grabbed the contestant beside him to cut his hair... Sad situation thought

Nah I don't think it is "that scripted". I know it was a good show, when Ken in Season 1 got kicked out because of his food, and not kept because of his "unique" character

It was kind of obvious with how the first episode of the first season started. They had brought in a contestant that was crude, vulgar and unhygienic (Ken Lee). In the reunion of the season, you got to see a clip where he put his naked dirty soles on a white couch that was stark in contrast. And ofc, for the reunion, bringing him in secured enough drama since he had no self-awareness and limits to his conducts. And although they said it's definitely not a popularity contest, they often instigate things to be so and look away when the situation does get out of hand (all that violence and verbal threats in season 2).

All reality shows are scripted to a certain extent.padma is a total diva.

This is complete and total gossip fueled click bait. And I'm the fool who fell for it. Almost everything in here is total BS.

I wonder what people who can't afford a decent meal think when they watch these judges complain about their food. Like, if you had trouble affording groceries for your family, imagine watching Padma and Tom Collichio complain that their Kobe beef is just a tad overcooked or some such nonsense.

Actually when you are a diner on the show, they don't want you to look at, talk to, or even acknowledge any of the judges or hosts. I've been on a few episodes of the show as a diner.

Marcel was the best and my fav from season 2

It's on TV. Paid for by sponsors and subscribers. By a network that wants them to return with their money next season/week/extension... It matters not if it is real. Only if it is entertaining. If you want real, go get a job in an actual restaurant.

Someone I know was on Top Chef. According to him it is absolutely not fake.

This isn't fake... This is just they making a good tv show.... This is poor title

Isn’t common knowledge now that reality shows are staged???

There is nothing described here that isn't true in every other reality show.

0:22 yay for Graham Elliot, but I just wish he'd come back to MasterChef.

I picked Paul Qui after episode 1

I don't think any of this shows that Top Chef is "fake." Sure, they're making a TV show, but at its heart, you have good chefs cooking and being judged by an eductaed panel based on whatever factors they feel are fair and appropriate.

I just wish they didn't fake any of the competitions. Once you see the plastic it just ruins the whole thing.

I have only seen season 2 and the behaviour of the contestants was pathetic. A bunch of sloppy kids, very unprofessional, and telling on eachother all the time. And some pretty bad cooking too. Not all the time though... but there was a lot of alcohol around all the time. So not too impressed

You got me again with your “completely” false click-bait title Mashed! Thanks for wasting our time.

Completely wasted my time. Everything you said, is exactly what you would expect in a reality show. Also, thanks for ruining season 9.

Paul Qui is facing his own #metoo moment, as he was recently arrested for assaulting his girlfriend in front of her child, after a drug and booze-fueled bender. The charges were dropped as his girlfriend "declined to cooperate", but it'll be interesting to see if he and his reputation can be rehabilitated.

I get notifications from channels who’s videos I’ve seen once or twice but not from people that I actually subscribe to??

I wish they went back to the old cooking shows instead of all the competing cooking shows with a limited time. The chefs are judges and wasting their talent instead of showing there favorite dishes!

after 4 or 5 seasons it was starting to become more of a reality show and less about food.

paul qui the chinese man that grew up in the philippines that wasn't truly pure chinese and had filipino blood in his veins yet never ever called himself filipino.

Mashed confirmed it's a garbage rag with this. No understanding of "complete" and no understanding of what is required to create a dramatic show. Still no actual proof of clear or unfair bias. Mashed finally crosses the line to auto-ignore now.

I wonder if people are able to/want to tell when a woman is just shy or maybe not super sociable and not just a bitch. If I had to host a show, I'd do my job but would probably also hole up in my trailer and not talk afterwards if I don't have to.

So what you're saying is, it's a standard reality tv show then

Exhibit A) it exists on television.

Your case that Top Chef is a fake is poor one. What you have highlighted is the challenges of making and managing broadcast programs which have several competing elements and requirements to take into consideration and yet still arrive at a product that has broad appeal and viewership. Creating these programs are incredibly difficult. I would submit your criticisms are minor in the face of their accomplishments. Another case of those who can’t do whining about other people’s successes. Stop the hating and find something more constructive to do.

None of these "points" have anything to do with the title. Not do any of them remotely discredit the show. I think the OP/Bot needs to spend time on a set.

What was described were strains ,far from complete fakery .

I guess Sargento isn't a fan

Oh gee! A reality show that is fake! No shit...

Title should be "Proof that Top Chef is really a TV show"

If the cooking is real, I don't see the big deal.

None of this is all that scandalous. You can usually tell who is going to either be a winner or loser based on who they focus on from the beginning of the episode. We all know reality shows aren’t 100% reality. It’s still an enjoyable show.

The whole show is scripted and they pick the "winner" before filming begins. That became obvious when Nick won Season 11.

so no it isn't completely fake. it's edited and guided, like anything on tv. did mashed think it was 100% authentic and unscripted with no edits or something?
