I'm kind of picturing it being seven hours of "tension" shots, like closeups on people's intense faces/eyes, going back and forth between judges and contestants, etc.

I am torn about using some of the cooking time would for human-interest background montages and motivational trash-talk.
"I'm from Brooklyn, so my stews keep it REAL."
"I'm not here to make friends - I'm here to bring serious Tuscan-style braises."
"My garlicky boeuf-en-daube is gonna wow the judges, because my secret ingredient is pizzazz."
"The other cheftestants better watch their backs, because me and my cumin are comin'... for YOU."

Do it with glass-topped slow cookers, use overhead cams and split screen so you can see all of the dishes in progress, and just make it like Norwegian Slow TV. Every time a competitor comes over to open up and stir it’ll be like WHOA LOOK IT’S A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BROWN

Also. This isn't a terrible idea. I've seen worse. There were neckbeard guys racing drones on a sports channel earlier. I didn't know that was a thing.

i've seen it on a freeview channel, the very bottom one, which was called something like transworld sport. i even set a series pass for it but ended up with the same episode repeated about 10 times...

there's another freeview channel, 273 Sports Channel Network, which is a pay channel for connected tvs only (ie not mine) and that's showing about 6 hours of something called 'Drone GP' between 10pm and 6am tonight.

This is a very expandable business in fact – I would regularly give cash to an all-rounder who could make things to my specifications that were good but not too good and which I could pass off as my own.

You know those reaction videos on youtube? ‘I listen to _____ for the first time’. ‘Try not to laugh’ or ‘try not to smile challenge’. I could do those daily and be an emotionless blank face...
And I dont know if I’ve already mentioned it upthread but I always wanted to do a ‘teens react to getting punched in the face’ video. Like the old videos where young teens are shown one at a time testing out a VHS player or Apple II computer. Or watching Duck Tales for the first time.
“Do you know what this is?” “Its a clenched fist”“Do you know what people do with it?”“They punch little shits in the face”

So you could make, like, healthy home-cooked food and put the food into the McD's packaging, and then the kids would eat it.
