| | I didn't know Wylie was such a spaz, very entertaining. Funny though how the men saw eachother as competition and didn't really take the women into account. Great episode although I don't know about the host's role - they're not letting her say anything about what she tasted and it's too bad because she has a lot of experience in this arena. Is she replacing Padma?

i doubt shes taking over padma's role, i think shes just doing this 'masters' event and thats it. |

She has also been a guest host on parts of the British culinary tourism show Planet Food, hosting the segments on India and Spain. [13] Her second cookbook Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet was released October 2, 2007. [14] |

Is she replacing Padma? | yeh I found it pretty funny and sort of humanizing to see a top tier chef like Wylie fail at something then start dropping f-bombs all over the place |

| | I had no idea this show even existed! I've been lost without my [illegally downloaded because I'm in Spain] Top Chef, which doesn't return until August. Am off to get copies of this now! Thanks so much for the heads-up.
Btw- I love Padma. But I think my husband loves her more. Sexy girls who love food and all that.
