Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show Faces a Rocky Start

In the latest buzz surrounding Meghan Markle, it appears her upcoming Netflix cooking show is already in hot water.

A recent poll conducted by the Express has revealed that public enthusiasm for the series is virtually non-existent.

With just 2% of respondents expressing excitement, it seems the odds are stacked against Markle as she prepares to launch her culinary venture.

During a lively segment on the Daily Nerd Live, host Steph, also known as the Alternerd, dove into the details of the poll and engaged viewers in a discussion about the show.

The poll asked whether people were looking forward to watching Markle's new series, which promises elements of cooking, gardening, and friendship.

However, the overwhelming response indicated that most viewers are not interested at all.

Steph, candid about her own motivations, admitted she is eager to watch the show—not necessarily for enjoyment, but to create content for her channel.

She plans to host a live stream watch party on January 15, coinciding with the show's release.

“I'll watch it so you guys don't have to,” she quipped, highlighting her role as a commentator on the unfolding drama.

As viewers shared their thoughts in the live chat, the tone was largely skeptical.

Many expressed doubts about Markle's qualifications as a culinary expert.

One commenter, Chasma, who identified as a fully qualified chef, questioned Markle's ability to identify different cuts of meat, suggesting that her lack of formal training could be a significant drawback.

Another viewer, Chay 56, echoed these sentiments, stating a preference for cooking shows hosted by individuals with actual culinary education.

They speculated that Markle might be relying heavily on cookbooks rather than offering original recipes or insights.

This sentiment resonated with many, as comments continued to pour in, criticizing Markle's credentials and the authenticity of her culinary skills.

Further skepticism arose regarding the production quality of the show.

Some viewers pointed out oddities in the trailer, such as scenes involving beekeeping that seemed unrealistic.

One commenter noted that the bees appeared unusually calm, raising questions about the authenticity of the footage.

“Did they spray anything on the bees?” they wondered, hinting at a potential lack of genuine engagement with the craft.

The comments section was filled with witty observations and critiques, showcasing a broader trend of skepticism towards Markle's ventures.

Chrissy D mentioned that Markle often borrows ideas from others without giving due credit, suggesting that this tendency might extend to her cooking show as well.

This criticism aligns with previous allegations that Markle has appropriated concepts from other personalities for her projects.

As the anticipation builds—or rather, dwindles—leading up to the show's premiere, the poll results paint a grim picture.

With 98% of participants indicating they are not excited about watching, it raises questions about what Markle can do to engage a disinterested audience.

Despite the negative feedback, Markle's team may still be hoping for a turnaround as the show approaches its debut.

However, with such a significant portion of potential viewers already dismissing it, the path ahead looks challenging.

The public's reaction suggests that they are unconvinced of Markle's culinary prowess and may not be willing to give her show a chance.

As the launch date draws near, it remains to be seen whether Markle can turn the tide.

Will she manage to capture the audience's attention, or will her cooking show become another footnote in the saga of her post-royal life?

Only time will tell, but for now, the outlook isn't promising, and the naysayers seem to have the upper hand.
