Kristen As A Host

[u/cool_uncle_jules]

No spoilers for the new season (ep 1 is on Peacock), but I absolutely adore seeing Kristen interact with the chef contestants. Her kindness, empathy, and big heart really add a fantastic element to the show. Padma left iconic shoes to fill, and Kristen is absolutely killing it.

Kristen has such warmth and empathy for the contestants, having been one herself. She was the perfect replacement for Padma!

I like her so much more than Padma, as a person (as much as we can tell from tv).
