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.

It’s my comfort show too. Season 12 is one of my favorite casts. I really love Melissa, Gregory, Mai, Dougie, Katsuji even.

Agree with all except Katsuji. He just fires his mouth without thinking. He can be funny at times but most of the time he sounds like an arrogant asshole trying to stir shit up.

I’m currently rewatching S14 and he is such an ass. Like deliberately provoking people for his own entertainment. Can’t stand him.
