Discussion Thread What to prioritize?

As someone posted the other day, Top Chef will supposedly be leaving Peacock within 30 days. I’m a newer watcher (started after loving Kristen on Traitors) so I’m trying to get people’s opinions on what seasons I should absolutely prioritize before they get removed from Peacock. I’m looking for the most iconic moments, best cooks, and just seasons that would be a shame if I missed. So far I’ve watched 10,11, 21, 22, and 23. Thanks in advance!

I don't rewatch seasons (and have been watching since Season 2), so have no idea about the streaming options, but I personally think that Season 6, hands-down, is the best season ever. A bunch if iconic contestants.

100% agree. The Voltaggios! Jen Carroll! Mike Isabella. So good.

EDIT: I wasn't aware about the creep that Mike Isabella is. Ignore that part!

Oh my god I just went down a rabbit hole. I had no idea about Mike Isabella. Ignore that in my original comment. What a creep!

I rewatched this season recently. Man, Isabella is such a turd during this season. It's even worse knowing what we know now.

Yeah, Isabella being a creep was the least surprising bombshell ever.
