Great season premiere! I’m gonna miss Joe Sasto. I liked him as a personality on his season with his memorable mustache action going on, and it’s sad that he was the first to go home. I thought Lee Anne was a goner with her rookie mistake of overcooking her halibut on the grill with all that oil. The cast of all-stars is rich and dynamic. This promises to be an intense season, and I’m all here for it! Congrats, Gregory! Establish yourself as the frontrunner to beat in the first episode! It looks like the finale will be in Europe this season. Very exciting! It’ll be nice to see Italy in all its culinary richness before COVID-19 touched down on it and left so much death behind. So terrible.

Find somebody you like on the cast and he will be eliminated first or pretty quickly. But yeah, Joe deserved to go. He fucked up the pasta during the quickfire and then the flatbread.

I don’t know who the guy with Joe and Leeanne is. Something with an M. If you were to tell me he’s the only new contestant on the show, I would believe you.

Happy to have the show back.

Brian Malarkey. He was from wayyyy back in season 3.

Mess that half of my predicted top 4 were on the losing team this week and one went home lol. It’s still early though! At least Gregory and Brian are the ones to beat right now.

I had to look up who Jonathan Gold was. Angelo’s dish looked a hot mess, and Jennifer did warn him that something was off with his broth. Very pleased for Kevin. Poor guy’s health troubles seemed horrendous, so I’m glad he’s recovered and thriving in the competition. It’s ridiculous the level of talent competing in “All-Stars” this season!

They all had really good looking dishes. That was a tough call for elimination though. Stephanie and Jamie seemed like a close call couldhave been either.
