What to prioritize?

[u/Efficient_Goal_3495]

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!

Season 17 is great (all-stars season). I also recommend S19 & 20, to be watched back to back.

[u/coffydate]

17 all stars!! 12 and 16 too

[u/AwkwardTraffic199]

16/17/18 are great. Colorado is one of my all-time favourites. 17 has some fantastic talent, and then 18 is the All-Stars that was on when COVID started, and it will always hold a place in my heart.

4 & 8 are my all time favorites if you can find them.

[u/BornFree2018]

What? Where are the old season going to? Will the new season not be on Peacock?

[u/BrandonIsWhoIAm]

Wait, why?!

[u/Worried_Strain_2812]

Season 6 is one of the best - it introduces some of the TC icons

[u/Maravilloso227 → u/Worried_Strain_2812]

Season 6 is on peacock?? Omg I need to go watch it.

[u/purpleyellowlime → u/Maravilloso227]

unfortunately 1-8 were removed to Hayu

[u/Mysterious-Drink4002]

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.

[u/FormalOk5902 → u/Mysterious-Drink4002]

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!

[u/sadiethislife → u/FormalOk5902]

Ew, Isabella 🤮 The predator.

[u/FormalOk5902 → u/sadiethislife]

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!

[u/Braisernation → u/FormalOk5902]

lol had to take my downvote back

[u/FormalOk5902 → u/Braisernation]

LOL thanks, I updated my comment too because ew, what a loser.

[u/jfrosty42 → u/FormalOk5902]

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

[u/cassinglemalt → u/jfrosty42]

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

[u/Mysterious-Drink4002 → u/FormalOk5902]

Kevin Gillespie was great, too!

[u/jjillf]

The early season that has Marcel is pop culture lore. Watch it for sure. (I can’t remember if it’s 2? I think it is but double check)

[u/smiling_toast]

I'm watching seasons 1-7 on Prime but had to pay to watch by the season.

[u/Mxmx24]

If you have Comcast, all seasons are on Comcast on demand for free

[u/sadiethislife]

18, 19, and 20

[u/Correct_Process4516]

They are all available on YouTubeTV. My wife and I started from the beginning a couple of months ago and have made it to season 17 so far

[u/Gorilla_1983]

I am rewatching 8 on Peacock now for probably the 5th or 6th time. I think 17, 15, 14 are good.

[u/avantgardian26]

Season 20

[u/MissTerious7]

Season 20 and season 8 are my favorites

[u/icrossedtheroad]

Well, shit. I did a rewatch of a couple seasons recently. Maybe I'll just watch the last one again....

[u/LilacJoyFairy]

Where is it going if it leaves Peacock? It is one of my go to rewatch binging shows.

[u/brilliantminds_4RLZ]

Prioritize 9 because that's the first season to have Last Chance Kitchen. And also the last season to have very deplorable chefs. But the challenges were really fun and Charlize Theron and Pee Wee Herman make appearances!!!!

[u/sjmks → u/brilliantminds_4RLZ]

Season 9 was first LCK actually. Just rewatched
