Chef(s) Trev
I’m rewatching rookies v veterans and every time Trev is shown or talks I get so uncomfortable. Not because I think he’s a bad person or anything but because he is so painfully earnest. It’s like everyone else had some sort of media training and Trev is making it his life’s mission to be the most honest and open person in the world. He’s trying so hard and I feel like he’s just getting beat over and over again. I feel maternal towards him and I’m 27 years younger than him😭

No tea no shade but I never want to see this man on TV again (or at least until he gets a poker face)

I think he delivers mail now (nothing wrong with that) so you probably wont unless reality tv gets really desperate.

Oh good for him! Mail carrier is a wonderful job. I guess he was a little jaded from his kitchen experiences🙁

Well its a very stressful job. It seems glamorous on tv but thats when youre in a brigade full of (somewhat) reliable people. Being a chef can be 12-14 hour days, sweating, chainsmoking on break, burns, cuts, unreliable staff, “budget cuts,” etc all for little praise. I can see why anyone would get out.

Jesus that sounds like a lot. I had an internship that had me doing 12-16 hour days when there was a big event and I cried so much (extremely visible and intense industry, think celebrity media/fashion) I can’t imagine doing that full time. No wonder he got out lol

Its not always the case but yeah some chefs will go before shift and get fresh ingredients, and after shift theyre breaking down and cleaning. It can be demanding

He’s definitely someone you wouldn’t leave alone with your kids or animals.

I never got into the Trev hate that I see on Reddit when I watched his seasons. Both seasons were filled with 'unique ' personalities that he only stood out in a nice but average way. When he did anything that raised an eyebrow, it was small potatoes to me.

I liked him less in his og season (I think he made some nasty comment that didn’t vibe with me or something? It’s been a while) but in s18 I just feel pity. He doesn’t appear to have the best social skills which I suppose make people less forgiving of the mistakes or mean things he did compared to others who were more charismatic. Obviously I’m not in his or the audience’s head but that’s just my two cents

Trev is a hard one for me because I appreciate his earnestness and how he actually seems like a real person with very real flaws and very real qualities, but some of the things he said or how he communicated it was really off-putting. I felt so damn bad for him with the bullying from Scotley that I stopped watching that season at some point. Like the guy crying in the confessional is one of the saddest moments on a show like this I've ever seen.
