I love how Marissa genuinely tries... like not to be funny but really tries to remember what the recipe would be, tries to make it as perfect as she can 🫶🏼

[@zarajn6982]

I really appreciate that about her too, and I find it more compelling and watchable than going full chaotic. Oddly enough, that's also what I like about Jared, he seems like he's really trying, but he's just so out of his depth.

[@mirandachen8189]

Yeah I was kind of bothered by how little Zach seemed to care in this episode by comparison. It felt like he knew he wouldn’t win and was just messing up on purpose (like adding so much pepper mint)

[@lizacrochets98]

She already knew the recipe and had done it before. The whole point of the show is for them NOT to know and wing it . She cheated as well as telling others how to fix their mistakes and that gave them the upper hand . Marissa needs to stay in her lane and play fair

[@zarajn6982]

@@lizacrochets98 She had never made croquembouche before, she had just made the cream that goes inside on Phoning It In. If that's cheating, then Zach and Keith could easily be said to be cheating from all the times they've done Without a Recipe before and the mistakes they made and things the judges explained. And she didn't even know the recipe for that - she remembered the ingredients, but she was still guessing the amounts.

[@deelee5958]

Is it a hot take to say that I massively prefer the episodes where they at least have an idea of what the dish is before it starts. Like the struggle to replicate something they’ve had in the past based off taste with no knowledge of the ingredients is 100x more entertaining than “idk what this is so I googled it.”

[@mwahoy]

I feel like they should have them taste it before they begin, like a sample of sorts?

[@animuswonder]

@@mwahoyyess they should either see/taste it, then be forced to recreate it! i think without a recipe has done a lot of the more basic recipes so as things get harder, letting them see or taste the thing would help

Always fun watching everyone scramble around every episode, but I really prefer when the contestants have at least a vague idea of what the thing is that they're supposed to be making.

Just more interesting to me

Guyss what if from next time the food that the professional makes the traditional way is revealed to and tasted by the cooks before they start cooking, that way they atleast know how it's supposed to look and taste like and can be more creative with it!

[@brb_herding_cats]

I agree! It's not BAD, per say, but I feel bad for them! Doomed from the start.

[@elizabethstolmeier6070]

Ryan’s presentation was literally so good

Ryan: A Rags to Riches Story! ICONIC

[@abbie7077]

I love the try guys and always love the judges and people they invite onto the show. But Grant was not it. I get it might be his personality but it didnt fit the vibe, he was so rude and came across like he was trying too hard. It was a hard watch ngl. Everyone has a natural fun vibe with eachother and he just runied it everytime he spoke 😭 never again with Grant please

[@silliestlily]

I love him on other shows but 100% agree. It was just a lot for this particular series. It's honestly funnier when the judges are TRYING to be polite

[@mungethekpopstan]

i'm living for marissa's and ryan's energy together

[@PixiePollen]

my heart fucking BROKE to see zach in that penguin costume getting his heart absolutely stomped on when he heard “you didn’t *ruin* christmas buuuut…” 😭😭😭

[@anotherrainymonday820]

I get why they raised the ante for the finale but I really miss the simpler WAR… bread, pie, cake, ice cream, donut, cookie, etc. Bc all the contestants know what a good recipe SHOULD taste and look like. This just felt like chaos for the sake of chaos.

[@tenparks]

I really wish they'd give them an opportunity to try it before they start. It'd still be funny for them to freak out on why it doesn't match.

[@danielleking262]

At this point, they are probably running out of things that they haven't done yet. 😂

[@koconnell968]

​@@danielleking262 Honestly, I'd be fine if they started repeating some. It'd be interesting to see how they improve (or not) on a second go at a dish without a recipe.

[@edgars1813]

​@@danielleking262not even close, so many different cultures and traditions and even history they can consult

[@ramensobs]

@@koconnell968agreed! especially with the 2nd try cast, it would be super fun to see THEIR attempts at the classic recipes and how to be creative and make it their own!

Marissa seems a nice and fun person. Love her energy

[@i.m.fan.tastic]

44:02 I would just LOVE Grant to be a contestant on this show and make some humble pie. 😘 Keep up the great work 2nd Try. Love your work.

[@Yupitsasela]

Honestly though. Maybe have him make a croquembouche.

[@franciscatalan]

Would rather not give him the platform and keep him off 2nd try for ever.

Something this hard would have probably been a better fit in Phoning It In or Escape the Kitchen, but still a fun episode and an end to a really great season. Excited for future seasons with the amazing new cast!!

[@zarajn6982]

I agree, this would have been great on Phoning It In!

[@Moddum123]

Would have been a great phoning it in

[@Nassifeh]

Ryan deserved this just for having no existing idea how to do the pastry and actually MOSTLY figuring it out purely based on vibes. Yes, this time, there were eggs! That's it, that's actual cooking skill starting to form right there, and derived entirely from failing to cook and watching other people fail to cook! This is like the essence of Try Guys, that they managed to mess up into someone actually KINDA VAGUELY knowing how to create a croquembouche from first principles.

[@Lilyblossom58]

I was rooting for Ryan from the beginning. Really happy with his delivery of the dialogues and positivity and jokes.

Devlin's edits are always my favorite Love the cameo of human oil in Marissa's tunnel vision at 18:06 😂😂

Not spoiling it - but the winners face when they won....brought me so much joy!! I cannot wait to see what you do next season. Also, maybe a spring season because this has to be the show I look forward the MOST to when you put it out!

I had a hunch Ryan was going to win when Monique explained why Marisa adding food coloring was a bad idea. I knew for sure that Ryan was going to win when Marisa's puffs flattened.

Same!!! I kept saying "Marissa! Marissa!" right before they announce the winner, and was so sure she would have won.

[@danielleking262]

@@AditiSingh-ft5qs Honestly, you'd have to expect the comments to probably say who won, so you shouldn't read them before watching the ending.... I had to do the same and tell myself to not go to the comments yet, and I saw another person said the same.

[@wrenegade6283]

Can this Grant fella calm down?? 😂 I get it’s his schtick but his attitude simply isn’t compatible with the usually lighthearted and fun tone of this show, here all he managed here was just making himself out to be a jerk. Surely he knows there’s a line between “sassy” and unnecessarily rude. I don’t wanna go as far as to say he ruined the finale for me but…

Can’t help but be distracted by Marissa and her dress throughout the entire judging, so freaking pretty!
