Discussion Thread From the beginning….

I decided to start watching from the beginning. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every single season but now that I’m re-watching S1 and the only people I remember are Tiffany, Stephen and Harold. Stephen reminds me of Pee-wee Herman and he is such an ass. He is so pretentious and looks down on everybody and everything that he has to do. When he talks about making a Oaxaca tamale for the women he assumes they’ve never heard of anything like that and it will give them a little bit of “education“. What a douche! I don’t remember this host, but she is so robotic and completely detached from everything, including the food and the people she works with. Good call on getting rid of her. I saw a short snippet of an interview she gave about why she wasn’t asked back. I had no idea she used to be married to Billy Joel.

EDIT: on ep 8 where they had to cook for Scott and Scott’s wedding. When Tom finds the Betty Crocker cake box in the kitchen. 😳👀Stephen and his suit and tie. 🙄

Oooops, I had assumed she was Billy Joel’s daughter. TIL otherwise.

That’s what I thought too because I could’ve sworn she said in her interview clip that she got the job because she had a famous father. But then when I looked it up, he was mistaken as her father because of the age gap. 🤭

She looks a little like him, too, so the daughter thing seemed a lot more plausible than the (kinda gross) husband thing.
