Next Level Chef: Christian's Villain Turn

On April 29th, Christian Alquisa has been killing it on next level chef as a top contender.

The social media chef from first refeased with fun dishes and solid vibes.

But in the last two episodes, the edit flipped hard,

painting him as the season's villain out of nowhere on a show that's usually all about positive.

Journeys and helpful critiques.

It started with small clashes over ingredients,

then escalated when he lectured bottom chefs about avoiding the basement cookoff,

even though his dish was safe.

Later, during planning talk,

others mentioned Taiwanese and Peruvian duck ideas,

and boom, Christian grabs those exact elements for his winning plate.

Contestants reacted strong and confessionals,

with daring and confused why Christian cooked his planned dish,

and Christian owning up that he listened in,

and aimed to out-cook him on the duck.

The show leaned all in,

turning it into a full sabotage storyline that feels cutthroat for this friendly competition.

No one knows the full story.

Maybe Christian's turning up the mind games now that it's individual,

or producers want a drama they couldn't edit out.

Unlike the light banter from Gordon Ramsay, Richard Blaise,

and Nyasha Arrington, this hits more aggressive.

Either way is shaking up the front runner narrative,

and fans are hooked wondering if this villain arc sticks through the finale.

Catch episodes, Thursdays, on Fox or Stream on Hulu,

to see how it plays out.
