‘Masterchef' contestant caught doing ‘disgusting and unhygienic' cooking blunder: ‘Biggest ick'
In one of this week's eps, though, eagle-eyed fans officially got the ick from one contestant's simple act. And, it seems it's a recurring thing.
'Total pet peeve of mine'
Eagle-eyed 'Masterchef' fans have officially gotten the ick with the show, after seeing a contestant, Theo Loizou, double dip while cooking.
Theo was making his dish during the Mystery Box Challenge when he was caught red-handed, tasting it with a spoon, and then putting the spoon back into the saucepan to stir.

One fan in particular took to Reddit to share the news.
'Anyone else notice Theo tasting his purée and then putting the same spoon back into the pot?' they wrote.
'I mean… don't tell I'm the only one! I always catch myself watching out for this, and it drives me nuts when contestants do it. Total pet peeve of mine. Yeesh.'
'I really don't want someone else's saliva in the food I'm going to eat'
And, it's clear, everyone is on the same page, with contestants throughout the show's duration being called out for the act.
Even former judge Gary Mehigan was exposed back in 2018, after double-dipping while tasting a contestant's dish.
'I think someone posted the same thing every season. I think that a lot of them did this, but got edited out. They might be more careful during team challenges. But I don't know,' said one commenter on Reddit.
'Yes, definitely an ick for me too. Totally fine if you're only cooking for yourself, but not if you're going to serve the food to others. I really don't want someone else's saliva in the food I'm going to eat, that's disgusting and unhygienic and a potential health risk,' another agreed.
'What's with the lack of hygiene?'
Some said that health and safety standards on the show had taken a dive altogether.
'I mean… don't tell I'm the only one! I always catch myself watching out for this, and it drives me nuts when contestants do it. Total pet peeve of mine. Yeesh.'

'They all do it!! And what's with the lack of hygiene when it comes to hair being open or in your face? That's the biggest ick! I don't know if I am remembering correctly but they all adhered to chef level hygiene standards in the initial years,' one person pointed out.
'Bronk's beard in S15 used to give me hives (not literally). They do follow some basics still, with the full trousers, closed shoes, and no long flowy sleeves bit (Used to get quite worried when Mel would walk around during the cook ). But that's more for safety than hygiene,' another added.
'It's not just reusing the spoon they've put in their mouths though… What about the rings they're wearing on their hands while they're handling foodstuffs or their hair flopping around their face while they cook etc etc. Maybe I'm a bit ocd but I get grossed out about these..' a third agreed.

Assassin's Creed Shadows developers say the Assassin vs. Templar conflict with be explored 'in the near future'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Assassin's Creed Shadows developers have teased the return of the Assassin vs. Templar conflict One developer said fans can expect the series' modern-day storytelling and the Isu will "be expanded at some point, in some fashion" They also responded to the fate of Basim and whether players will see the character again Ubisoft has confirmed that the Assassin's Creed series' Assassin vs. Templar conflict and the return of modern-day storytelling will be explored in the future. That's according to a team of Assassin's Creed Shadows developers in a recent Reddit Q&A, who answered fan questions regarding the latest entry in the series and what the team plans to do next. When asked if fans can expect more about Assassins vs. Templars, the developers said that they wanted to establish the story of Naoe and Yasuke in Shadows first, before expanding on this long-time war. Still, they confirmed that players can expect more soon. "The Assassins vs. Templars conflict has always been a core pillar of Assassin's Creed," said level design director Luc Plante. "With Shadows, we wanted to properly set our protagonist in the setting before expanding on the Assassins vs. Templars. Now that it's done on the main game, we scratched the surface with the Critical Role story drop, and you can expect more deep dives in this conflict in the near future." There were also questions about Basim, a key character in the series' universe who has been seen in Valhalla and Mirage. The character's fate is left open-ended, but Plante has teased that there is more to come. "We have complex new characters that were introduced in Shadows that we didn't feel there would have been enough spotlight for Basim as well," Plante said. "With Assassin's Creed Shadows, we are putting in place the first stone of new means to deliver the modern-day storyline with the Animus hub. That is not the end of it, and we are listening to your feedback." The Isu, an ancient and highly advanced species of humanoid beings, is also something that didn't make a reappearance in Shadows, and fans wonder when this, along with the return of modern-day storytelling besides Animus Rift missions, will be explored again. "While Modern Day is not the main focus of the story we tell with Shadows, it remains important for our community, so you can expect it to be expanded at some point, in some fashion..." Plante teased. The developer also said that though the events franchise's expanded universe of games and comics were not mentioned in Shadows, this doesn't mean Ubisoft is retconning anything, explaining that "we do not necessarily mention everything in every game if it doesn't directly support the narrative we are building." This also applies to the Isu. "Similar to this, the fact that there is no Isu artifact in the main game of Shadows doesn't mean that it doesn't exist in the world of Shadows," Plante said. "It just wasn't a story device that we needed for the story we wanted to tell." In the meantime, fans can look forward to Assassin's Creed Shadows' next major expansion, Claws of Awaji, which is set to release on September 16. You might also like...

19 Millennials Are Sharing Things That Were Common In The '90s And 2000s That Would "Baffle" Anyone Under The Age Of 25
As time passes and technology evolves, there are certain trends and habits that simply fade out of popularity. And there's no better example than those of the '90s and early 2000s... That's why when Redditor u/ToeKnown9863 asked, "What's a '90s/2000s trend that would baffle kids today?" Thousands of Gen X'ers and millennials shared the good, the bad, and the ugly of Y2K trends. From burning CDs to Pogs — here are 19 of their best responses: If you can think of Y2K trends that would leave the younger generations speechless, feel free to tell us about them using this anonymous form! 1."Downloading music off Limewire to iTunes, running to Walmart while it downloads, buying blank CDs, and burning them once it's downloaded. Then, thinking of a cool name for your new CD." "I spent three days downloading the movie 300 while it was still in theaters. Burned it to a DVD, made some Jiffy Pop, and bought a Code Red Mountain Dew. I popped in my freshly burned DVD that Friday night and thought how awesome it was that I was going to watch a movie that was still playing at the theater down the street. Then the movie started, and I remembered thinking that it looked cheap for a Hollywood movie. Suddenly, a naked guy walked onto the screen, followed by three others...I then realized I had spent three days downloading a dirty movie." —u/Daguvry Related: 2."Playing literally one video game for the entire summer, no online walkthroughs. If you wanted a hint, you needed to buy a paper guidebook, hope your friend knew the tricks, or call a 900 number for help." "My mom had to block 900 numbers because I racked up a huge bill trying to beat a King's Quest game." —u/violent_potatoes 3."Trapper keepers confuse me now, yet I literally screamed to high heaven to get my mom to buy me the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one." "For those who are unaware: a Trapper Keeper is a binder. Yes, we '90s kids were judging coolness by the kind of binder we had." —u/WitheredRosePetals82 4."Not just having a landline, but SHARING a landline." "Everyone in the house had the same number. If you called, anyone in the house might pick up. If you were calling your crush, you had to be prepared to negotiate with suspicious/hostile family members, but that was somewhat understandable. It got really weird when you had adult roommates! Suddenly, you're the social secretary for your popular, ladies' man roommate, trying to explain that you don't know where your other roommate is to a very angry woman, and ducking calls from a collection agency. And you'd have to collaborate on the voicemail message. Yes, there was only one voicemail/answering machine for the entire household, too. We used to record elaborate and hilarious messages every two weeks, sometimes with running jokes. It was a wild time that I actually don't miss." —u/haysoos2 5."Pogs: We just collected little cardboard circles to play a dumb, boring game." —u/LouBarlowsDisease "Yeah, it was hot for about a year, then it was GONE as if it never existed. People weren't even talking about Pogs anymore. I think my dad might still have my old slammers in storage somewhere." —u/nmezib 6."Buying ringtones." —u/overfiend1976 "And ringbacks! I didn't know how they were popular, but in the early aughts, my girlfriend paid for a service that would play a heavily compressed MP3 to the person calling you, instead of the regular dialing sound prior to answering the phone." —u/markh100 Related: 7."There was no 'Google Maps.' You had a huge book sitting in your glove box. If you didn't know the way, you had to literally chart it and try to follow it. Or just memorize the whole thing." —u/MightBeTrollingMaybe "I used to help my grandpa navigate his RV when I'd spend summers with my grandparents as a kid. Pulling out the atlas because he wasn't sure where to go was always a blast. I think that those experiences and video games are why my spatial awareness and direction finding are as good as they are. Now, when I look up a new place on Google Maps, I'll street view the final bit just to know what to look for. I've had people act like my ability to know where I'm going is witchcraft." —u/Silbyrn_ 8."Chain emails: I'd be so embarrassed to do that today..." "I used to fill out these long 'About Me' Q&As because I thought people were interested in reading my 50 answers." —u/Advanced-Koala2559 9."Having to wait a week for 10 photos to be processed and printed." "When we would get them back, they were mostly unidentifiable, but we were just excited to have one 'good' picture that was only slightly blurry." —u/Lia_Delphine 10."If you missed a new episode of a TV show, you just missed it." "Your only chance to see it again was when it became a rerun the next season. There was always a showtime that showed old episodes, where new ones aired during the season. The Simpsons aired new episodes on Sundays and had many airtimes during the week, showing old episodes, so you waited until the episode you missed was added to the rotation. This changed in the 2000s when entire seasons were released on DVD box sets. Then you could watch without having to wait for it in the rotation." —u/Embarrassed_Bath5148 Related: 11."Dialing *69 so you could figure out the phone number that just called you. No, we didn't all have Caller ID, and yes, it cost money." "And yes, they used 69." —u/EmperorSexy 12."Having to run to the bathroom/kitchen/do chores during a commercial break and having a sibling yell, 'It's back on,' so you could return to the TV in time." "Additionally, knowing what time shows were premiering, so you knew to do your chores before then, so you could watch undisturbed." —u/ConsistentCollar2694 13."Waiting for songs to come on the radio so you could record them on a cassette tape, and getting mad if the DJ talked over the intro. Kids today will never know the struggle of timing it perfectly and still ending up with the DJ's voice at the beginning." —u/RudeResearcher4761 "I still have one or two songs in my entire playlist that I transferred over from physical media that have radio hosts speaking over the beginning and end, and I can't bring myself to ever find the proper non-radio versions. They are just a part of the song now, and it will sound weird without them." —u/Onigumo-Shishio 14."The simple act of being bored while waiting in a doctor's office, traveling, or attending family parties, etc." "There was no nightmare rectangle keeping us preoccupied." —u/ShedMontgomery 15."When swing music and dancing went from nonexistent to full-blown movement from 1996–1998. That trend was gone in a flash." —u/Coffee-N-Kettlebells "Zoot-suit riot baby! It was a very unique three years in music. Best of all worlds, even our movie soundtracks were amazing." —u/Intrepid_Kiwi_7995 16."Buying a magazine to know what will be on TV this week." —u/Parallel-Unicorn "On that same note: Everyone tuning in and watching a show or movie at the same time, besides a live sports broadcast, you don't see anything like that nowadays because of streaming. I remember when a popular TV show's new season premiered, and everyone would be watching the exact same thing the night it aired, or when a new Disney Channel movie aired, everyone at school would be watching it that night." —u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir Related: 17."Riding to a friend's house to see if they could hang out: If they couldn't, you were just like, 'Okay, I'll start my 2-mile bike ride back home to find something else to do.'" —u/ColdIndependence5820 "I lived in the Midwest for a few years in high school, in a little town a few miles from one of those rail-to-trail bike trails. In the summer, a bunch of us would ride something like 15 miles each an ice cream cone. But at least it was something to do." —u/absolutenobody 18."When TLC was actually 'The Learning Channel.' It was like a no-frills version of the Discovery Channel, except it came standard on cable. You had to pay extra for Discovery." "But you were still able to learn about Egyptian pharaohs, cave murals, origins of the human species, aliens, and other cool stuff. Then it caught the reality TV virus." —u/vsysio 19."Living in the moment: Because there were no smartphones, no one cared about documenting every moment of their lives for likes and views. And if we did, we used a digital or disposable camera." "Not only was it freeing, but none of the dumb things we did were preserved online…unless we spent hours uploading them onto Facebook." —u/Dry-Subject-718 Did you remember any of these trends/habits?

Why Millennials Love Subtitles
Fellow millennials, I need to get your honest opinion on something. How do you *really* feel about having the subtitles on when you watch TV? Reddit user Some_Kinda_Username recently posed this same question, and people couldn't help but rave endlessly about how great closed captions are. While I might not be a fan of reading while watching my favorite TV show or movie, others just can't get enough! Here's what they had to say on this polarizing topic: "I love me some subtitles! Warning, though, they are addictive. Once you get used to them, it's nearly impossible, or at least quite infuriating, to watch anything without them." "I was using subtitles before it was cool." "Sound mixing is a lost art. Gotta make sure everyone hears the explosions over the actors advancing the plot by whispering." "I love subtitles! Everyone in my house starts talking the second the shows we want to watch come on. I feel that subtitles are a nice compromise. They talk during the show, but I can still enjoy it by reading the captions. Problem solved!" "Subtitles are real-time spoilers." "My late wife was Romanian, and while her English was perfect and much better than mine (I'm British/Canadian), she always wanted subtitles to help her follow along. Something about her brain's ability to translate speech was more tiring than reading. Now I keep them on by default." "I can't watch anything without subtitles anymore. 😭" "I usually have my kids or wife trying to talk to me at the same time I'm watching anything, so if I want to know what's going on, I have to have them on." "How else am I supposed to hear my show over the crunching of this bowl of cereal I'm eating as my fourth meal?" "My husband got me into the whole 'subtitles or bust' thing, and now my anxiety levels elevate if someone is watching something and there are no subtitles." "I have a household of people, and it helps when they don't want to quiet down." "Having been hard of hearing my whole life, the fact that we now have captions on nearly all streaming media has been a godsend for me." "I want it on, and my wife wants it off. It's a real battle." "90% of the time I watch shows or movies, the kids are asleep. Subtitles are mandatory when playing at a low volume." "I feel like I miss too many things without captions." "It's like lowering the volume on your radio when you're lost driving around. I know I'm not the only one." "I've been using subtitles since the '90s. You can pry them from my cold, dead hands." "But like, why does the TV sound different when the subtitles are off?" OK, now I need to know what you feel about this:
