Chiara is the female chef and she is amazing isn’t she! I like all three finalists but Dan is my favorite by just a skosh . I felt so badly for Gaston too. Not just because of the sauce fiasco but the grainy mousse. That’s a cardinal sin!
Regarding Monica’s butterplug comment, I lol’d when she said it. My own late precious mother had a spicy sense of humor. If true, I don’t care for comments like what Gregg supposedly said to the ghostwriter about the eton mess. I don’t consider that an innocent innuendo. That said, I’d hate to see him leave the franchise. I agree with @TVbitch that is tough to lose a prominent host or judge (Roux vs Waring) but it will all work out. I would add more but this forum hates it when I post a response via iPad. I bet my post here disappeared five times so I’ll stop now! 😂😂
