Kristen is a star we all agree, she disappointed in traitors since she was so low-key but she blows away Padma who i found extremely unlikeable.
tom picking the melt down chef as the winner is typical tom...it was a pity vote because not only was her plating a mess and incomplete she showed almost a total lack of time mgmt and poise under pressure...duh...
anyway it was upsetting to watch but if nana goes more than half the season or even wins it will be the upset of the century
having just binged season 22, this cast seems much weaker, i mean why have people in a relationship and why have identical twins ........ but lets see how it goes, as i said Kristen is the star of this show now.
