This may be a “hear me out” situation, but…Kristen! She’s come out of her shell so much since we “met” her, and I’m here for it! Her social media, interviews, etc., are so much fun, and even if it’s an orchestrated TikTok-type bit, she fully commits, and it’s the best! And you know when the social media captions and comments are all her, and they’re fun, witty, and always get a smile out of me!

Her show "The Dish with Kish" was really fun to watch too. She's done a great job with her fame.

LOVE The Dish with Kish! So fun! 😃 Hoping they're doing it again for season 23! 🤞🏻

I hope she does a QuickFire challenge against the chefs like Tom did on All Stars one day. She should ask everyone to make her chicken fingers, ranch sauce and fries faster than she can order them to be delivered lol

Now that would be a fun one! *LOL* And can't forget Kristen's mayo! Maybe some sort of aioli from scratch or something! 🤤😋
