[@Bee_Mari]

😂😂😂 right!

[@Moonchild3g]

Agreed

[@ambercotton3260]

Agree! She annoys me. She acts as if she's better than others. Even if someones food isn't great there are nicer ways to say it than what she says. She's always got something negative to say about others food...never anything positive.

[@amsy6832]

Exactly

[@tashnahtv6098]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@michelleroberts9243]

Akua may very well be a great cook, but her attitude compared to her costars is hard to watch. The others are light and bubbly and she draws all the energy out the room.

[@narutofanz85]

Ruth gets a 10 on personality. She's fair, honest and genuinely respected the other dishes with an open mind. Akua would barely try the food and was quick to disparaging instead of giving it any chance. Yall seriously need to remind contestants to keep it respectful abs go in with an open mind.

@@jadoei3576 culture isn't a preference. Note "proper cultural way"

[@jadoei3576]

Lool! It's really not that serious, people are allowed to have preferences and make choices that differ from their culture. Besides, culture is forever evolving, who's to say that what's "proper" now won't be different later down the line 🤷‍♀️

[@TwistedLyfofTV]

@@jadoei3576 nobody is debating whether someone is having a preference but you. There is a cultural way to eat most African foods, and that's with your hands. That being the proper way meaning genuine. Anything that changes down the line is simply that, a change. Anyone who chooses to do different is doing just that, choosing. That doesn't negate the proper cultural way.

[@Ranaturelle]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I shrieked with laughter! This was tooo funny. Auntie Ama was right, I blended my okro toooo much that it was a flop for me, for the look alone. But hey it still tasted aiiight. In this life we win some and lose some. Looking forward to the last episode 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Ruth X

I really appreciated Ama saying the okro had been blended. It's easy to say every dish is horrible, but I'm glad she said what might have gone wrong with the one dish. Akua, and her attitude, have gotten boring. I don't care if her food is good. If she's in the next one, I'll skip her bits. It's meant to be fun. Well done to the other three for not taking this too seriously!

[@shawanda.denise727]

@@jasondowns9056 There's a difference between having an opinion and being rude. It's HOW you say it. The problem with Akua is that HOW she says it is straight up rude and nasty. Even in competition, if you know you're the bomb, the cockiness and rudeness isn't necessary. The talent should speak for itself. Also, if it's not that deep, that makes the cockiness and rudeness extra for absolutely no reason.

Akua irritates me for some reason. While her food does look good, can she sit out future videos? I think she believes that her soft voice will make people overlook her negativity but that's not the case. Ruth's attitude was so refreshing.

[@TheMariemarie16]

In the Southern US we have 2 dishes that come from slavery which we eat today. The first is gumbo which is an okra and seafood soup we also add other meats too such as chicken. It’s one of my favorites. The other is just no name but maybe some from Louisiana might call it Maque Choux which is corn, okra, tomatoes and bell peppers, onions and sometimes meat. Sometimes we make the same thing with no corn and eat with cornbread and rice. I wonder about the African influences. My great grandmother generation and those before her also would eat that dish with their hand. Nobody does that anymore. It was thought be to done due to slavery and poverty and lack of education but I actually think that this it was another cultural clue which was lost. Maybe they ate that way because they wanted to from tradition. My great grandma and friends certainly had access to forks when I saw them doing it.

[@xr2kid]

Yesss My folks are Creole thats our dish.

[@Ten_dai]

Yeah.. Eating with your hands, at least for me, reminds me of home and eating with family. It also adds another level of engagement with your food😂

[@Dawn4j]

I think eating with your hands helps you get the taste better.

[@egcarswell]

Y'all gotta disqualify Akua from all future videos, man. Edit her out, forreal. This thing only works with fair scoring, and without an impartial 5th party to taste everything, folks like Akua will always get away with scoring people low on purpose 😬😬. Cocoa Butter does a good job of bringing in another judge to ensure fairness, might help to implement this on Seasoned as well.
