I'm fine with adding Toby as a 4th as long as we still get still Padma & Gail.

Toby sucked, but I dislike Tom more.

I dunno about Toby. I feel like the producers thought, "We need another judge, but who...I know! Let's pick a British chef and make him have
hypercritical critiques a la Simon Cowell! Yeah, that'll be ratings gold!"
But on the other hand, it's better him than Tom. I feel like Colicchio thinks himself to be all high and mighty since he's involved with the show, and could basically get rid of anyone he wanted for the smallest reason. |

Plus....Ripert is good friends with Bourdain, and I reeeeeeeeeeeeally missed Bourdain last season!

I think she's funny, interesting and attractive, but mostly, she is constructive with her commentary about food, and she's got truly laudable
credentials to judge it...

I'm not sure why, but I tend to think she is the least full of shit (most empty of shit) of the four. Tom seems so pretentious and inconsistent. Gail seems
to at least have the same standards for everyone.

Drew B wrote:Hmmm. I think Tom has more sophisticated food knowledge but he does play favorites and acts like a pompous ass. Gail plays faves too, but to a lesser degree. It would be fine with me if they got rid of all the judges (and Padma) and replaced them with Ripert, Ted, Bourdain and Dufresne. Tom could be the host/mentor. |

Not Ted. He really doesn't know shit about cooking. Padma's more qualified.

Well maybe Ted could be the host and Tom could be the mentor in the kitchen.

Rocco?

I like Rocco but it seems like a lot of people really hate him.

I learned to really really really really really appreciate Gail after her absence last season
Never hated her - but now I lurve her! Padma....could be gone tomorrow and I'd be fine with it |

Gail <3! Padma's decent Tom's a blinkey bitch and Toby's too rehearsed.
I have mixed feelings about Rocco. Sometimes he seems kinda cool and other times he comes off douchey. |
