"RIP" — 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing fans react to Bryan's choices after winning a golden knife

With its back-to-back twists, 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing never fails to keep viewers on edge, and this week's double episodes were no exception. Bryan Voltaggio was declared the Golden Knife winner by guest judge Brooke Williamson, who also gave him immunity and the authority to select two cooks to join him in the breakroom. Even while it could have felt like a reward, Bryan's decisions caused more turmoil than was anticipated.

Bryan made the unexpected decision to exclude Sawyer, O'Brien-Price, and Kelsey Murphy from the elimination phase, claiming that they were the less skilled chefs. The purpose of the strategic move was to allow weaker players to relax while keeping stronger competitors in the fire. Though there was nothing wrong with his reasoning, the ramifications affected the competition, changing dynamics and posing issues with gameplay and fairness.

Social media was swiftly used by fans to express their feelings. Bryan's decisions stunned a lot of people. Others argued over whether his choices were a tactical masterstroke or a potentially disastrous error. In any case, the Golden Knife changed the atmosphere of the kitchen and the discourse outside of it in addition to providing safety.

Another admirer shared,

"Yes, it s*cks as a challenge. Certainly going to turn the remaining chefs against Bryan. So safe are Kelsey, Bryan, Kathleen, and Sawyer. Funny Bryan considers Sawyer weak enough to pick for the breakroom."

"Awwww I feel so bad for Bryan. His first time with the golden knife, and the consequences SO don’t match his sweet personality," a Reddit comment read.

More viewers of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing shared their opinion on Reddit about the consequences of Bryan winning the golden knife.

A netizen commented,

"They kind of did him dirty. This was not my favorite episode and I might skip next week as well. I really hope when the others are not so tired they'll see it really wasn't him responsible, he was basically setup."

"I want Bryan or Nini or Stephanie to win so I’m glad Bryan made things easier for himself by giving Kelsey and Kathleen the immunity but man, the two of them have gotten way too lucky. I hope Elia fumbles here," another person expressed.
