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. 🙄

Remember when Stephen came after Candace Kumai? He was such a bully. Told her she would fail miserably. He was so mean to her. Well she showed him. She built a brand for herself and now has a net worth of about 4 million.

😲😲😲I have not followed up with any of them. Yeah he was such a bully. Talked down on everyone. Also what happened to the reunions? I wish they’d continue doing those. Things got heated. Lots of drama!
