From what I saw it's very possible that it was scripted, but taking into consideration the stupidity of our generation, it's very possible it's not.
I'm going to wait until I'm with some friends and watch that, because right now I can't watch it without losing my mind haha.
I enjoy watching people cook. Only in person though, I can't watch people cook on t.v.
I prefer T.V. If it's long term cooking. I wouldn't want to sit there watching someone stirring beans for an hour. However, when it comes to fast and interesting changes, I love to watch in person. I don't really get the trend in cooking shows on tv, but I'm into it sadly.
