Gail this is the most informative blog I’ve read from any of the reality judges/hosts who have done blogs on this site. Very impressive! Keep up the great work!
thank you!! i have been looking for a reliable blog to help me understand the judging. what better blog than one of the judge’s blogs! i was confused by the choice (thinking Stephen should have gone), but now i get it! i am a novice foodie with a boyfriend who falls asleep during the episodes. This blog will be so helpful and I will tune in and log on once a week! thanks!
“Other contestants saw that he went over and we needed to be fair to all of them.”
So if the other contestants hadn’t seen Richard go over the allotted time you would have let it go?
Thank you for your insight, it adds quite a bit to the viewing experience to read about what the judges thought after the fact. I’ve always loved reading the blogs on BRAVO, I’m glad to see that you are blogging here as well.
Am loving TC All Stars. Although I doubt she’ll win, I absolutely love Carla. Wish she’d get her own show on the Food Network. I’d watch every episode.
Thanks, Gail! This All-Star season is already proving to be can’t-miss TV: that elimination challenge was inspired! I look forward to reading your blog here every week, and getting more insight into the judging. And thank you for pointing out that there’s more to Chicago cuisine than hot dogs!
SO awesome to see this here! I love Gail S. and love reading details about why each chef was or was not eliminated. Really clears things up. I will be back here every week hunting for this while the show is running, so I hope you guys keep it going!
I love the TC series and this season’s premiere was awesome! I can’t wait for the episode where they go head to head against Hung! I really liked Hung and I know he’s really good at the quickfire races but is there a reason everyone treats him like some wunderkind?
Beutifully written. Shows the judges side and convinces me that you want them all to succeed.
