Popular Post susannot December 6, 2018 Popular Post Share December 6, 2018 Re Mike Isabella: anyone who invested in his restaurant empire should have watched Top Chef. It is 100% obvious that he is a gross sexist pig and probable sexual harasser. I can't count the number of times he said "girls" couldn't win a challenge. However, having said that, I am re-watching All-Stars on Bravo waiting for the new season and I totally hate Richard Blais even more than Mike. His dickish poor sportsmanship every time he lost a challenge. His scowling face. His constant dissing of the other chefs offerings, especially when they beat him. And most of all, his refusal to ever acknowledge that Stephanie beat him or even say her name. 32 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6561-top-chef-in-the-media/page/13/#findComment-4898664
Rai December 7, 2018 Share December 7, 2018 I just got through rewatching All-Stars as well, and I do still find Isabella more offensive. That said, the narrative that Richard had built for himself about how he choked and that's THE ONLY REASON why he lost continues to make me so annoyed. You may have choked, but you also just got plain outcooked, dude. She won challenges on her own merits throughout that season. 19 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6561-top-chef-in-the-media/page/13/#findComment-4900466

I think that's true only in the few initial challenges. Of the seasons, where they've had returning chefs, only the Charleston season had the returning chefs (John, Brooke, Shirley and Sheldon) dominating the final 4.
