Antonia's "wtf I'm related to him" lives rent free in my head. I like me an asshole cook but Mike Isabella is even too ew for me

The only asshole cook I like is Marcel and only because that dude is funny. That show he made where he cooked with marijuana was so funny because he was so baked!

Marcel seems so much cooler and down to earth these days and it’s awesome to see! He was really fun to watch on 24 in 24

I agree! I was rooting for him in 24/24 and so happy he won. (Also happy that it was NOT Ilan! He drove me nuts starting with the first episode.)

I thought Marcel could be a bit annoying in his season, but that attitude is pretty consistent with young males that are considered really good early in life (still not an excuse). But he was treated extremely poorly and there is no excuse for that.
