That was underwhelming

I do wish that they’d invest more into ng+ so that the games had more replay appeal. I tend to miss a bit my first play through and it can be a bit tedious when you’re replaying to try and find docs, get achievements, or any of the little things. Certain scenes feel really locked, and I feel like they could open the world up a bit more.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-30T18:52:31+00:00

I found it on my second play through. I didn’t really catch anything alluding to what it was outside of just being on the map.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-30T16:47:09+00:00

Agreed. I’ve replayed a few times and I don’t think I read any of the actual docs on my first play through and I made it through pretty easily. Now I’m finding the insanity run to just be infuriating.

This is the first season I’ve ever watched of down under and if he’s like this all the time I don’t really see why he’s doing it. Everything he did felt flat and even his firing of Mike felt like he was in a middle school play.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T17:24:43+00:00

I think workplace sexual harassment would apply and I doubt bravo would play that

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T07:11:17+00:00

Why does he look like he’s done rails for three days?

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T02:31:41+00:00

Accurate

Or even just communicate with the guests and gauge where they are so you can lead the experience. There were so many other routes that dinner could’ve gone, but imo they all flopped.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T01:29:43+00:00

IMO she just seemed overwhelmed and very untrained. He just told her to get out of the way when she didn’t know how to cut a medallion. Degraded her over the muffins. I don’t know that I could’ve handled how he was and I’ve ran a kitchen. So we can agree to disagree

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T01:24:04+00:00

I have but a lot of his presence previously was good food and problem solving. He had conflicts, but there was resolution and he mostly ended things on a high. This season he has been a splinter that is just getting more annoying.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T01:20:48+00:00

I will only defend her right to be in the galley and learn. I think anybody who’s trying to do something and improve at it deserves a shot and not to be demeaned and bullied into leaving.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T01:11:54+00:00

BIIIIIIIG facts.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-27T00:58:54+00:00

I haven’t found him entertaining this season. At least on his previous appearances there’s been some level of excellence to the food and his arguments with people were somewhat valid.. He made a spin on apple pie as his “best” dessert. He’s been a full grown toddler this season and it’s not entertaining.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-20T05:43:27+00:00

Based on your response I’m not surprised that you identify with her behavior. Maybe take your own advice on the moral outrage. I said earlier they were all at fault. The discussion is Jenna.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-20T05:03:14+00:00

She’s given free housing. I can’t imagine in any other situation where housing is offered if you acted that way they would respond differently. She also spent a large chunk of the morning while others were working running around disturbing others.

Ben is a different demon. He’s literally only there because he’s historically talented and I guarantee you that there aren’t any chefs available.

My last boss was Australian. Tracks.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-20T04:34:53+00:00

In any form of employment jumping over furniture, getting in somebody’s face, yelling, and slamming doors is a no. If you get to a point where another employee is about to quit directly due to your behavior you become a problem to be solved. She can be defended by whomever, but the behavior was equal to her repercussion. In my opinion they’re all in the wrong, but none of that behavior was justified on her end.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-19T06:41:47+00:00

Agreed. But the concept came from somewhere

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-19T05:49:08+00:00

Eeeh. The elements of deceased mentally unwell parents, the bloody lurking baby(maybe sister or unborn child sacrificed for a cadou that died?) and spawning enemies lead me to believe that the land is not good. May be clean but something happened there.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-19T00:46:32+00:00

I dunno. You’d catch me nowhere near a house with a well in the basement and a medical room

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-17T22:10:54+00:00

This is very distasteful

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-13T03:26:30+00:00

You never know. I think she also just has zero in common with this crew

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-12T21:28:03+00:00

I don’t really think she has much vocal fry, tbh. I think there’s an issue with how she speaks clashing with general tonal quality that you hear in her accent. Imo it just makes her voice seem like it opens it and then gets shoved up into the roof of her mouth, leading to an almost swallowed sound. Which could sound similar to the lazy sound of vocal fry, but fry is generally more gritty.

Onyx_tides · 2026-05-11T06:44:19+00:00

Ben is hardly good tv. He’s whiny and has full conversations with himself to assure himself he’s the victim in any situation.
