Ladyrain March 11, 2015 Share March 11, 2015 Paula was her usual disgusting self today. First she planted a right-on-the-mouth kiss on that poor guy in the bake shop she went into with Carla. Then during the cooking segment in the studio, she told Clinton he was like a turd in the punchbowl. Even the audience groaned disapprovingly at that. Plus she did her usual dipping of the fingers into the food being prepared and lapping it off. I am hoping the Chew crew is gritting their teeth and making nice to her because they HAVE to, and not because they actually want to.

Notmuchofacook May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 So, today, May 14, Michael had a segment where he pan fried gnocchi. He went to a restaurant where a famous chef showed him the technique and he recreated it on the show. Pan fried potatoes!!! How bad can it be? Yet, when he presented it to his co-hosts, they talked about taking pictures of food and Michael got disgusted and asked them to comment on the food he prepared. But they didn't stop with the conversation. Then he brought the food to a member in the audience. I have no idea if pan fried gnocchi is delicious or not, but his co-hosts were astonishingly rude. I think, for the first time, I saw Michael Simon, get really pissed off. And, Batali, get over your bad self. You're not all that.

The intro segments do seem new, so maybe they taped a bunch of those to fit the theme of the new, cobbled together shows. I thought last summer they ran intact repeats, but I could be misremembering.

I saw the same woman in the audience at three different intros on three different days. She was hard to miss because she had long pink hair.

Like one episode had Clinton, Daphne, Carla, and Symon the whole time and then *poof* Mario shows up for the last ten minutes. WTF? And if you're going to do a clip show? Make it clear. Don't try to pass it off as new content. Call it "Summer best of with some new stuff" or something. Cause you know what? When REALLY TRULY new episodes start up in September and Daphne is the size of a house on a Monday when she was itty bitty on Friday and they all talk about what they did all summer while pretending they just taped the week before?

Maybe they're all different but it's personally hard me to conceptualize one rub from another just based on TV--therefore I'm less likely to actually make it.

Irlandesa September 24, 2015 Share September 24, 2015 I love Clinton but if he has one weakness it's his need to be in control. When he feels like things are getting out of control, he doesn't hide his irritation well. We see it occasionally with Michael but it happens during celeb interviews too when those celebs march to the beat of their own drum. Joel McHale and Jamie Lee Curtis are two of the most extreme recent examples but I've seen him go into wrangling mode other times. Maybe it's my preference but I thought Jamie was hilarious. She's zany and I like when the show goes off script. Either way, Clinton chastising her for not eating her whole piece of bread was him losing his cool. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2139-the-chew-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-1533284
