I could be wrong but I think they sometimes film an extra segment with guest stars and then package those extra segments into a show. They record and intro/finale and have new recipes so they're technically new shows but their outfits switch a lot. But maybe I just have a terrible memory and forget recipes. Then they do repeats for quite a few weeks in August. 1 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 I loved Clinton's and Michael's eating the brownie crackers. They were so funny. But it worked, I bookmarked the recipe and am going to make it this weekend. On Monday's show, the store bought french fries and cheese sauce vs home made. I wanted them to try the store bought fries with the home made cheese sauce. I think that'd be the winner in terms of time save and flavor. Yes, home made fries would be better but I don't think to the degree of difference that would be in the cheeses. 3 Link to comment

As has happened several times recently, there seems to be a problem with the recipe -- Carla clearly said she was adding baking POWDER on the show, but the printed recipe calls for baking SODA. And the comments under the recipe on the show's website make it even more confusing-- no one seems to have the definitive answer as to which one is correct. 1 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 She tweeted the recipe on the site is right. At least that's what I saw in the comments when I looked on Monday. Link to comment
J-Man June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 And many of the comments indicate that in following the recipe on the site (with soda), they ended up with a bubbly mess. Link to comment

Irlandesa June 23, 2017 Share June 23, 2017 It never fails to amuse me how quickly Carla gets sloshed on alcohol. When the hosts used to say "noooooo" when it came to giving Carla or coffee, I thought they were being a bit over the top until I saw her drink on the show. 1 Link to comment
biakbiak July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 This show has been interrupted so many times in the last few months that I like when they show repeats like today because I missed part of the show when it originally ran and the peanut sauce chicken and swordfish picatta looked good. 2 Link to comment

At first I thought this episode might have been pre-taped since they have done that in the past where the first episode post-break is pre-taped and their "real" first episode is a day or two later. But nope, they were specific about what they did over break--with pics. It is weird that they didn't address the elephant in the room. There have to be people who don't know she's not coming back. They still might in a later episode. I don't think any of them have addressed it on social media. Just Daphne when it was announced. 1 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 September 6, 2017 Share September 6, 2017 Maybe she has a planned appearance in a near future ep and they want to discuss it then. I am very annoyed with my DVR-ed recording of this ep. It is horrible! SKips, sounds cutting in and out, funky picture. I have no idea what happened. Weather was good here, too. But I don't want to watch On Demand and not be able to ffwd commercials.

Ciarrai September 6, 2017 Share September 6, 2017 I kept waiting for them to say that Daphne was gone for good, but they never did. I guess she was gone so much last season that it really doesn't matter. 2 Link to comment

biakbiak September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 I thought the announcement smacked of damage control and figured they must have gotten negative feedback about not addressing it. 1 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 They probably did get negative feedback. However, I can see how given how many shows they did w/o her last year that it just seemed like a normal day to them and it slipped their minds to announce it was official. Link to comment
biakbiak September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 They rehearse the openings and have a rundown of all the topics they bring up which Clinton has on his card so I think the producers just didn't think they needed to address ot. Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 I know they do, I'm just saying when setting up the first episode there was nothing to "prompt" it in their heads as something to address. Whereas if it was Carla (or anyone else) who had left, when they were creating those cards and rundowns it would be top of mind because she wasn't gone a lot last season and it would feel odd enough to remember to address it.

biakbiak September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 I just hope it means no more Dr. Oz. Looks like Clinton is back to eating mammals, he ate the yak dog and the paella had andouille sausage. I wonder if Mario had a business falling out with Crocs. 4 Link to comment
FormerMod-a1 September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 I noticed that, too, about Clinton. Maybe his cholesterol numbers were better. Or he found out it wasn't related to red meat and figured why keep cutting it out. I did not notice Mario and the Crocs, though. Link to comment

Irlandesa September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 About Daphne, the message did seem a bit perfunctory but I can see how it may have been a deliberate decision in order to keep the first episode happy-happy-happy with a plan to address it in a later episode. 1 Link to comment
morgan September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 I love this show and enjoy the fab 4, although I am also one of the few who misses Daphne. I also have realized this week I would love to see another woman added. Not sure who that should/could be, but it feels very male heavy right now. The balance feels off, and I'm surprised I feel that way to be honest because I love them all and they have great chemistry. 5 Link to comment

It's odd to miss her since she's been MIA so often this year but she brought a sort of lightness to the team (not in season 1 when she had the healthy stick up her butt but since then she relaxed a LOT). The only person I've thought of--and she's committed already to another network so probably no chance--is Gail Simmons. She's been on the show before and has good chemistry with the hosts. Maybe there is another Top Chef alum that would work? 2 Link to comment
morgan September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 I was thinking Pati Jinich maybe because I have always enjoyed it when she was on. Or honestly I wouldn't mind someone more like Daphne and Clinton, someone who enjoys cooking but isn't a chef. Someone who brings more of a "like us" dynamic amidst the other 3 professional chefs. 2 Link to comment

Qoass September 11, 2017 Share September 11, 2017 I would tolerate Katie Lee if it meant the end of The Kitchen. I think four hosts are plenty but they seem to have gotten so comfortable that they're practically phoning it in so far this season. Link to comment
Irlandesa September 11, 2017 Share September 11, 2017 Just no to Katie Lee. She's tolerable-ish once a week but Gail is my top choice. I don't think they need anyone. And I don't think they're phoning it in. Or at least I don't notice a difference in how they're acting. What are they doing that makes you think that? 1 Link to comment

biakbiak September 15, 2017 Share September 15, 2017 I can't deal with just the three of them. I think I am deleting my season pass. It's not Daphne, it's not Mario but I just can't stand the three and it's only been 5 or 6 days. Link to comment
Qoass September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 I confess I may do the same. I love Clinton. I love Michael. I love Carla. I could take or leave Daphne and Mario. I just think the show has run its course. My feelings may change the first night I come home from a rotten day at work in need of some happy time though. Link to comment
orangeiguana September 20, 2017 Share September 20, 2017 Daphne just didn't have the goods and obviously Daddy-O got her the gig. I'm sure Dr. Oz got her a ginormous trust fund so she can just stay home and breed a Dugger-size brood. When you have such a fantastic job in your early 20s, it's absolutely ridiculous to ruin it by pushing out 3 million babies in your 20s. Really, get your professional life going and THEN get the hen yard overrun with lil peckers. Link to comment

Really, get your professional life going and THEN get the hen yard overrun with lil peckers. She's 31. She was 28 when her first child was born. She was approaching 30 when the second one was. She didn't really do it the way you've framed it, above. Since having a family seems to be a priority for Daphne, she's arguably made the best call for the life she wants. Here's an infograph on how female fertility decreases with age. It seems ABC thought Daphne had the goods or they wouldn't have kept her for 6 seasons. While her famous last name probably did open some doors, particularly for the book deal she had when she was in college, she landed a spot on broadcast network TV show and kept the gig for 6 years, while her father hosts a Sony syndicated series. I think The Chew will do fine without Daphne, but I miss her in the mix, and agree with whoever said the show would benefit from another woman at the table. I wouldn't like to see either Simmons or Jinich. I don't think either has the right personality. I would like to see another non-chef foodie. I think the show is really cheap though, and is bound and determined not to replace her. That said, I'm glad they didn't make a quick, ill-considered reflex recast. It will be interesting to see how the ratings are affected over this season. I also think having a parent of young children adds something to the show, because Daph thought of and addressed concerns that Mario and Michael haven't thought of in years and Clinton never has. I'm not sure whether Carla's stepson lives with her full-time, but she seldom mentions parenting him, so it seems likely cooking for a small child wasn't something she had to deal with on a daily basis. Until/unless we hear otherwise, I figure with two children, a third on the way, a book deal, her Food Network job, and her new Facebook Channel, Daphne was probably willing to come back to The Chew, part time, if the price was right. When it wasn't, the parties likely decided to part company. To me, that makes the most sense, considering her departure wasn't mentioned on day 1 and only briefly addressing it on day 2 of season 7. I think The Chew would have been better served by having Daphne back for a goodbye episode. That that didn't happen is what makes me think she was willing to return part-time and they couldn't come to terms on the money and other particulars. Ah well, I'll miss her and am interested to see what she does next. 8 Link to comment
susied2009 September 23, 2017 Share September 23, 2017 I was surprised Daphne was not back to say good bye. I borrowed her latest cookbook from the library and did not care for any of the recipes. She seemed to be in the "pregnancy/mommy" season which doesn't fit The Chew. I do miss her. She did add something to the group. Maybe in time some guest will make the producers add another female to the mix. Link to comment

Lois Sandborne September 24, 2017 Share September 24, 2017 I like Daphne's personality, and I have always enjoyed her on the show, but I don't really miss her in the mix. I think at this point the show is kind of running on its own fumes. Any of the remaining four could kind of come and go and the feel of the show wouldn't change much for me; I didn't miss Mario when he was gone last week either, although he's never been much of a favorite, so that might have had something to do with that. Speaking of Mario, though, I can't believe Carla never finished his Christmas scarf! Kudos to that viewer who sent the finished product in, lol, but if that were me in Carla's shoes I would've been too shamed to even put that on air. 1 Link to comment
