Although the final was disappointing, Renan Blumenreich's absence sank, and yet - the fourth season of "Chef Games" proved to be the best cooking reality in the kitchen

Once we were naive - we wanted Sharon to be with Yoav, we believed that every Doritos mission in "Survival" was a duel for life or death and when we got sad every time the "Big Brother" house entered someone with different opinions of our own. But today we are experienced reality consumers, and we know how to fish, sometimes, at least, what is real, from the bullshit mountains of "reality" programs.

And on that pessimistic note, one can conclude that the current season of "Chef's Games" has finally earned her the title of reality show cooking queen. While "Master Chef" remains stuck with the cry of the empty parsley and all the generic stories of "Grandma's Dream," in "The Chef's Games," as in a good suspense series, the level only rises from season to season and breaks apart and the mentors take off from their flat-screen TV and actually succeed The competitors, as magicians and as human beings.

On the same subject:

• Avishag Levy won "Chef's Games"

• Avishag Levy: "I wasn't the best all the time"

• The "Chef's Games" finale: a new dose of contempt for viewers

• Erez Komarovsky: "I brought a different perspective"

• "VIP Winning Couple": The entire cast is revealed

To be honest, the finals have been a bit of an anti-climax for all this sweeping season. In the first place, gamers tend to be the worst and worst episodes of any reality season, especially since they began to be called the "final event" and stretched well beyond 90 minutes, but this time the deviation from the Judges-Conveyor-Survival Mission format was especially jarring, alongside breaking the program To two parts in such a crude and brutal way.

I have to admit that there is one more thing that got me out of the sails just before the final. Even without tasting his food, I'm sure Renan cooked the best food of the season. It pained me to see him separate from the show because of one bad day in the kitchen, even though Erez Komarowski wasted his two gold knives on competitors who it was clear that it was time to fly (and that neither of them made it to the finals). He is noble, exotic and seems to have many more layers to peel. In the wake of Assaf, who like you understands the combines, you will find the way to leave this half Japanese guy on screen.

What is certain is that he will not be missing opportunities. Cooking reality shows are the franchise's current milking violation, which means they will not stop rising, in such and other shattered formats, until there is a single drop of milk left for medicine.

Like everything, it will get tired in the end, but in the meantime we want to breastfeed, and "chef games" have the most fertile udders in the economy. It's an unabashedly determined, intelligent and emotionally determined program, the competition between both immense and fragile egos (of chefs of course) is breathtaking, and as experienced reality consumers we can also notice that there are the best cooks on TV, even though we can't taste it. After all, what are we here for if not to eat with our eyes?
