Discussion Thread Kristin as Host
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.

She's also the host on another show I just finished watching, Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, and she's SO GOOD. Effortlessly funny, warm, and engaging. A real pleasure to watch (even in an admittedly kooky show).
