HK S22: A Retrospective Discussion

S23 has nearly finished (I'm yet to watch the latest episodes, please don't spoil me 🙁), but I was wondering how we're all feeling about S22 now that it's been over a year since it aired. Some contestants were getting a lot of heat online, whereas otters were fan favourites.

Have any of your thoughts about S22 and the cast changed since, or are some of them the same? Were any chefs overhyped, or were some over-hated during the airing of S22? Who were your favourites during airing, and who are they now?

PS: I still hate the American dream theme, time won't change that for me.
