The "Chef Games" final was roughly cut, with almost no warning, and anyone who came to watch the second part of the program didn't even get a synopsis.

1. One of the reasons it's so cool and trendy to be a chef in our time is reality shows, which have catapulted the status of cooks with tattoos to the rank of God, more or less.

The contestants look at them with admiration, swallowing understanding any criticism any of the chefs throw at them, and of course no one forgets to paste the nickname "chef" to their first name every time someone talks about them on screen. Sometimes it sounds just as ridiculous as anyone in "The Next Star" to insist on saying only "The Static Poet." So is it possible that chefs have charmed us all with comforting and luxurious food?

And it's like a self-inflating bubble, and you can't stop it. In food reality, unlike poetry competitions, viewers cannot really express their opinion on the performance. The dishes cannot be tasted or smelled, so our opinion on the quality of the contestants is measured by the judges. I mean, the chefs.

After losing a "knife fight," performing "a revolution in the kitchen" and opening countless restaurants, yesterday Assaf Granite (thanks to his contestant, Avishag Levy) achieved a second consecutive victory in "The Chef's Games." What it means? Nothing at all. In practice, it will only inflate and further expand the golden aura over his head. legitimate? Tell them.

2. Inlay Games: Regardless of the change in submission of the major release announced last night, a completely network has recently gotten into trouble with its broadcast schedule. With only two ratings-appealing anchors, she finds herself dragging too much behind the Keshet broadcast schedule, moving inlays and shows even hours before it airs.

That's also why, just earlier this week, it was decided to split the "chef's" finale over two days, only to try to save the second episode of "Comedy Star" from a painful crash in ratings. So, the first part of the finals aired yesterday, and it opens with a no-cover announcement by Miri Bohadana that "tonight we will find out who will be the winner of the fourth season." But we didn't find anything yesterday, and as soon as we started working on the desserts, the roughly pre-recorded program was cut off without explanation of the sequel. Only a recycled promo sent viewers to wait a day to announce the winner, in stark contrast to the promises of Bohadana and the judges for two hours.

A day has passed, and if you thought someone there was waking up, you would immediately return your knife set. The second part of the finals opened yesterday without the summary of the previous chapters, and with no reminder of what happened at the start of the finals. Someone just cut and pasted. The most laziness there is, the most contempt for the viewer there can be, and more in the reality finale that should attract the most ratings.

3. Despite the dismissive attitude, the "chef games" are difficult to destroy. It is a winning format, which is excellent and rhythmic, so its ratings also remain stable. Did you feel the crunch in the bite? Families peek from the sidelines and shed a tear, a piano soundtrack at the right moments, and a last-minute tension. It is not just competition, cooking and judging, but the positive vibe that accompanies the format. Minimal and gentle criticism, multiple pagans and hugs dominate.

Almost everything is in a positive and bitter show, which is typical of a few other shows in the genre. In the past, it was very common for reality to come down on contestants and make fun of them, but politically correct won, people hurt, sued, disbanded and so the odd candidates who were unaware of themselves were pushed out. "Chef Games" is a comforting reality that is not meant to annoy and agitate anyone. So what's the wonder that the "flower girl" ended the season?
