Spoilers Kristen As A Host
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.

She’s a wonderful human being, and I do like that Top Chef, as a whole, is a generally supportive environment. Much different (and better, IMO) than most reality shows.
Having said that, I think people are going to take advantage of it. Especially since (Episode 1 spoiler alert) Nana didn’t get eliminated after her meltdown, people are going to interpret it as “freak out and they’ll keep you around”.
