CHEFS "REMOTE CONTROLLING" NORMALS! | Leftovers Recipe Challenge | Sorted Food

had a maths teacher like that. he didnt care anymore and was making stupid jokes all the time but was an absolute master in his field so he nailed every explanation

[@xXRunDeathXx]

@5567 5555 i guess most of the teachers lose their passion over the years because its hard to keep the pupils motivated. especially in maths where many kids hate the subject just for the sake of it, because its "cool" to hate maths wich is kinda sad. that obviously leads to a catch 22 where the pupils dont like the subject because the teacher doesnt like to teach it anymore

[@saiquatabassum6321]

Willy Salvato or they could just always watch that one person that‘s following them

[@Cat-kj1be]

that sounds great

[@DrDumplingMD]

I had already suggested something similar as a twist to the pass it on format. But when you think about it, Part of the magic of pass it on is the reaction when you see what your dish had become in the end. If this twist is incorporated into the format, it might result in slightly longer videos, but it will also be coupled with some whining and excitement from the onlooking guys that have done their part as they see it go sideways or in a better direction... And tbh I don't think that's a bad idea.. Maybe you can make it so that there is no live feed for the last part, to ensure that there is some mystery in the reveal. Also pls redo the Breakfast pass it on... But pls dont do another English breakfast
