They're forgettable and poorly paced, with too much of the old schtick of exposition interrupting at some of the more exciting moments when the contestants are racing against the clock, or the old schtick of providing the contestants nonsensical stuff to use in the challenge just to punk them. Gets old after a while. My memory is already getting spotty on the pre-merge challenges.

Did I mention that Chris is absolutely INSUFFERABLE in this season? That really does not help. We get it, he's a sadist. Ramming that in is getting obnoxious, I'm grateful every time Chef speaks up to try to balance it out.
