SIDEMEN FORFEIT CHRISTMAS COOK OFF Reaction

[@annia_3158]

Fun fact: Ethan and Faith got married a day later. Harry gave a best man speech and Ethan had 4 groomsman and it was Calfreezy, Tobi, Josh and Harry. Also their judges supposed to be Gino and Fred by they pulled out last second, everyone on set was excited to have them but since they pulled out (one of them got sick or smth like that) their mood on this shoot dampend and thats why barely anyone tried here. But in BTS they said that they will get them next time so there is still hope for that.

[@annia_3158]

Also another fun fact: Ethan just casually stole harry's mulled wine and served it to the judges lmao, that basically won him the whole thing

Crappy excuse really. Ethan has gone through phases of being like this for many years. His inner bully sometimes comes out, especially in competitive videos & getting married or having personal issues shouldn't make it an okay thing.

[@camhusmj38]

@@D25Bev He does have mental health issues but I agree it cannot be acceptable to deal with that by threatening violence against others or just being agro. There are healthier ways to deal with this and in his case it probably should have been subbing out for another guest.

[@headingley72]

I can only answer for this cooking challenge, but the cookers were both set up so so only two out of the six hobs worked on purpose to make it harder for the boys. Vic talked about in the BTS. also the Sets are all designed and set up by Lucy and her Mom, she is an old school friend of JJ and Simon and has been with them for ages. There were meant to be to very big Celeb Chiefs from UK TV Gino D’Acampo and Fred Sirieix but Gino pulled out the day of the shoot, they managed to get Big Zuu and Max on like an hours notice, Max had only arrived back in the UK from his World Tour the night before.

No wonder you dont like roast potatoes as much as mashed Steph, "just cut them, boil them, put butter on then, and throw them in the oven" sounds like the saddest roasties ever😭 BUTTER?? You gotta try duck or goose fat to cook them, makes them crunchy and has an amazing flavour. My favorite is goose fat roasties with seasalt, cooked with garlic and rosemary. So goooood🤤

[@giafoneozu9998]

the stove problem is most likely because they are not using enough security, so when they would use the full stove, they would kick the whole electricity in the house. Ovens in europe need to be triple secured so they can't burn down! 1:13:40 wow be careful with that word!

[@allison-tv1qe]

2:00:45 Red team didnt have mulled wine so Ethan stole Harry's and served it to the jugdes, in bts he took it before jj tempered with the wine by adding half of blue prime into it which neither harry and josh saw and thats why blue team's tasted a bit sweeter cuz it had prime in it while red team served harry's original mulled wine haha. The fact they stole it is outrageous but fair play since it basically won them the whole thing.

[@headingley72]

To give you some background on the kitchen set, it was built in there studio a couple of days before the shoot and then taken apart straight after the shoot.

Yorkie has another meaning in the UK as well. It’s a brand of chocolate bar. They used to advertise themselves as unsuitable for women.
