When Pamela Anderson, the iconic ’90s star, embraced her authentic, no-frills lifestyle, you couldn’t resist jumping on the bandwagon, could you, Megan? The result? Yet another meticulously planned and painfully unoriginal attempt at reinvention—this time in the form of a Netflix cooking show, With Love, Megan.

But hold on, what’s this? Pamela Anderson, the true queen of reinvention, already beat you to it with her show, *Pamela’s Cooking With Love*. And guess what? Her show feels genuine, fun, and refreshingly free of self-important monologues about “finding oneself through food.”

Netflix recently dropped the trailer for *With Love, Megan*, showcasing Megan in a sunlit, perfectly curated kitchen, picking vegetables from her picturesque garden, and flashing her signature serene smile while chatting with her handpicked celebrity friends. To top it off, the trailer is set to the tune of *Do You Believe in Magic?*—because nothing screams “relatable” like a whimsical, fairy-tale aesthetic.

Naturally, the internet had a field day, as viewers quickly pointed out the striking similarities between Megan’s show and Pamela’s *Cooking With Love*. You know, the show that was announced first? The one that doesn’t feel like a forced, soul-searching journey through the magic of homemade pasta? The one that isn’t trying so hard?

Let’s take a moment to talk about Pamela. She’s been a Hollywood staple for decades, but unlike Megan, she doesn’t feel the need to remind us of her fame every five minutes. Instead of clinging to the fading glamour of Hollywood, Pamela gracefully stepped away from the chaos, moved to Vancouver Island, and embraced a life filled with nature, family, and, yes, cooking.

And because she’s Pamela freaking Anderson, people are genuinely interested in watching her live this authentic life.

When *Pamela’s Cooking With Love* was announced, it made perfect sense. Pamela has always been passionate about food, sustainability, and wellness—and she even went to cooking school. Her show feels authentic because *she* is authentic. She’s not pretending to be an expert; she’s there to learn from professional chefs and have fun along the way. It’s a breath of fresh air in a world of overproduced, overly calculated content.

Once the parallels between the two shows became clear, social media exploded with reactions—and honestly, they were pure gold. “Is there nothing and nobody’s work this woman won’t plagiarize?” one user quipped.

Another added, “She’s the gift that keeps on giving if you enjoy secondhand embarrassment.” Comments like, “Pamela looks beautiful and relatable. Megan looks… well, like Megan,” and “How is Pamela not on Netflix while Megan is? I’d actually watch Pamela,” flooded the internet.

The verdict? *Pamela’s Cooking With Love* feels fresh, fun, and genuinely enjoyable. *With Love, Megan*, on the other hand, feels like yet another desperate attempt at staying relevant.

Megan Markle has mastered the art of curating a brand that’s supposed to feel authentic but is, in reality, meticulously manufactured. The problem? People aren’t buying it anymore. The over-the-top gestures, the calculated vulnerability, the strategic A-list friendships—none of it screams “real.” It screams, “Please like me!”

Pamela, on the other hand, is effortlessly cool. She’s been through the media wringer for decades, yet she doesn’t play the victim. She doesn’t cry in front of cameras or release tell-all books every few years. She simply exists—happily, peacefully, and on her own terms.

So, if you had to choose between the two cooking shows, the decision is pretty obvious. One is a delightful, warm, and light-hearted escape into the world of food. The other? A recycled PR stunt wrapped in a kitchen apron. The choice is yours.
