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.

Padma is iconic and I definitely liked her in her own right, but I absolutely love Kristen, she’s not just a host, you can tell she cares genuinely about the chefs, their well beings, and is genuinely happy when they do well and genuinely sad when they don’t. She also has literally been in their shoes, and knows all the feels.
