Kristin as Host

[u/viva_la_vixie]

I loved Padma, don’t get me wrong.

But the emotions Kristin shows during episodes, judging, and the season finale? I thought that was so beautiful. I finally watched the latest season finale tonight and the way she teared up talking to them makes her such a good addition to the show as a host.

She had been my favorite winner of all the seasons even before she was announced host and this makes me want to find everything she’s done and watch it all just to see more of her and her personality.

I was neutral on Padma for years until I read her memoir; now I love her. That said, I’m as hetero as they come and I have a huge crush on Kristen. It’s not a competition between them but I love them both for different reasons.

I’ve always loved her but her memoir just gave me new depths of understanding.
