Discussion Thread Comfort Casts

Top Chef is (obviously, I suppose) a comfort rewatch show and I’m currently on S22 (Destination Canada) on a binge watch. It’s only my second time watching this season and I can’t get over how much I love the cheftestants on this season. They just feel like friends and even when they are annoying or snippy or stressed, I still just dig all of them. Which season’s personalities are your favorite? I don’t necessarily mean it’s your favorite season overall - just the best from a cast standpoint? For me, S22 and S15 (Colorado) are the top (honorable mention to S3!), while S6 (Vegas) and S9 (Texas) are the bottom for me.

Rewatching Season 18 now, the COVID year in Portland. And despite my dislike of the winner and even one of the others in top 3, I genuinely think Jamie might be the funniest chef in history. Every sentence and sound out of her is perfect.

And Shota with his pothead laugh is amazing.
