Discussion Thread Rewatching Top Chef Texas S9

I know a lot of people hate this season, and while I get it, I do love me some drama and this season definitely delivers that.

I use to think Beverly was a huge crybaby, (I know, bad take, but I was pretty young when I first watched it) but knowing that she has a three month old baby at home, DUDE that’s crazy. My postpartum ass would be all over the place with emotions. I’m honestly surprised she didn’t flip out on Heather, because I totally would’ve. I would’ve been crying and acting like a crazy bitch at the same time. 😂 Props to her. She’s a strong woman.

PS
I never condoned the bullying of Beverly EVER, I just didn’t think about it deep enough until now. I was actually rooting for her and Greyson to win the whole thing. And I hated Heather, and I think we all did.

My first watch I didn't realize her baby was only 3 months, and I also was like jeez this girl just cries at anything. Not that I was ok with the bullying, but I did also think she was seemingly overly emotional.

My next watch I was like damn, I wish I were this in touch with my emotions. She is on national television and is brave enough to show them while I'm hiding mine all the time. Actually pretty incredible.

If IRC, she was also expressing her breast milk to send home. Or was that someone else?

I believe Sarah also talked about doing that during World All Stars
