At some point on Dropout, Izzy said something along the lines of "You want food that comes with a task?" I think it was on one of the Um, Actually Reality Tv episodes, but does anyone happen to know which one specifically? I wanna use that clip for something.

YOU’RE GAY AND YOU’VE NEVER HAD FLAVORED BUTTER????

As a food show fan, I like the concept of Gastronauts (professional chefs getting creative with zany prompts) and my biggest feedback is to just tone the energy down a couple of notches. The editing often feels very frantic, rapidly cutting back and forth between different shots and cutting off conversations. There's also sometimes a very nervous energy around the Dropout side of the cast, either because of the structure or the editing, where it seems like they feel some sort of pressure to maintain a running commentary and fill any silences with comedic bits or personality. Which is common in many initial seasons where they're still ironing out the format and getting comfortable with the show! If Gastronauts gets more seasons (and I hope they do!), I think having a greater focus on the food itself and more confidence to take "breather" moments will make the show much stronger.
