Do you watch cooking shows? The contestants attire is OVER DONE!!!!!

Tweet

OF any kind? There are alot of them, from cooking meals to baking cupcakes. All kinds of how-to shows from challenges to contests to "throwdowns"! I enjoy watching them. Haven't made anything I have ever seen, but it is fun to watch them. Well, used to be fun. Lately..the challenges have been on such short span of minutes that they move so fast, I can't keep up with what they are doing and it goes so fast..it isn't even enjoyable. Or on the "voted off" ones, there is so much arguing (Hell's Kitchen, Next FoodNetwork Star) that I just get tired of it and turn it off. What used to really bother me was how sloppy and gross they all dressed. here they are on national television trying to win a prize and they are all supposedly experienced "chefs" or cooks..and they look like something that was left pulled out of the bottom of the rag bag that was waiting to be used as a rag to change the oil in the car with! They are scummy looking, sloppy hair styles like they haven't washed their hair in months and don't give any evidence that they have any class or education about them at all... and here they are on national tv trying to tell everyone how great they are and that they deserve the big monitary prise. Even on Cupcake Wars...these contestants all have business...thriving business...yet their appearance looks filthy and sloppy and not like anything I'd like to see handling the food I am going to eat! IF they look like that it makes me wonder how their place of business looks! But what really bugs me..is the tattoos. Men mainly..they have their arms tattoed from their hands up to their shoulders, their necks tattooed and one guy even had his bald head with tats on it! And it has been very evident on shows lately...they all have them. So along with their sloppy dirty-looking appearance, they have black and red (usually the colors) ink lines all over their bodies and it just looks like they just came in from making mud pies in a barrel of mud and didn't wash their arms off! I have even turned the show off cause I couldn't stomach watching them cook food looking like that as that is what went through my mind when I was looking at them. Cupcake Wars had one on the other day..arms just nearly all black and up around back of his neck..it was just gross and here he was baking cupcakes. It was just disgusting. Now I am not saying you have to be in a suit and tie or skirt and heels to do a cooking show, but come on...take a bath, get a hair cut (or at least styled) and dress like you have some sense of value... your customers are looking at you. Now you might like tats...okay, fine, but still...it just looks gross and I dont' understand why people..even women...flaunt them in a situation like this. If I knew the person cooking my food looked like that... I'd get up and leave. Why dont' they dress a little nicer and cleaner looking? Why don't they put on a good impression since they are advertising their place of business? And come on...sandels in a cooking area? Bare feet in a kitchen? And the women with their long hair just hanging down...you have to know at some point in time as they are pushing it out of their face,that there is going to be a few fly-away hairs coming around and falling into food! Why don't the pull it back while they cook instead of constantly having it fall in their face and the food they are preparing? Does it bother you to see cooking contestants look like this? I know that "yesterday's" casual is today's "dress up", but still come on...don't people have any self esteem anymore than to just go on national tv, represent themselves and their business and look like something the cat drug in from the field across the street?
