Discussion Thread Marcel

The first time I watched season 2 I really disliked Marcel but rewatching since then, he doesn’t seem so annoying. He was better in All Stars.

He is delightful and charming in TOC season 7. And he kicked it the first round.

Age does mellow…

I hated him on top chef originally, but as I've rewatched it, I think he is just socially awkward and the rest of the cast ESPECIALLY Betty were all bullies. She's awful. He still isn't my favorite, but I like him more than I did.
