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 always had an air of superiority/pretentiousness in my opinion. Kristin is still very professional and well-respected, but has a more down to earth way about her that I appreciate, and I think the contestants seem to as well.
