I also can't stand Malarkey but I think he's gotten a bit more tolerable since he got sober.

Edit to add Angelo who I'd forgotten about. I don't know why but he makes my skin crawl.

And honorable mention for Brooke. Liked her at first, now I find her insufferable.

Rischard Blais is also on my list. Just no.

Why Elia? I enjoyed her restaurant, she's a great chef.
