But then, they&#8217;ve had Steve Irwin as a guest judge before and he wasn&#8217;t a chef either,&#8221; she pointed out. &#8220;So it&#8217;s not really about culinary credentials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click Here To Sign Up For The Entertainment Newsletter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The &#8220;Suits&#8221; alum&#8217;s guest judging stint marks her latest foray into the food and lifestyle world.

Every project arrives carrying years of baggage, and that&#8217;s a challenge most celebrities simply don&#8217;t have. She isn&#8217;t launching from a blank slate. She&#8217;s launching from a very divided public reputation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fitzwilliams agreed, saying there have been &#8220;sufferers from Meghan fatigue for some time&#8221; and that &#8220;a great many viewers feel this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Lifestyle is aspirational, it&#8217;s lucrative, and it gives celebrities tremendous control over their image,&#8221; Schofield said. &#8220;The problem is that audiences don&#8217;t just buy recipes or table settings anymore.
