Most foodies know Padma as the host of Top Chef but she's also a former supermodel, somewhat successful actress, and has written two cookbooks. Yes, I'm incredibly envious of her. I'm short, probably will never be in a movie, don't have any published cookbooks, and I don't get to taste all that food on Top Chef. She would be my perfect idol but there's one severe problem. I've watched several episodes of Top Chef, tried to read about her, watched some of her video blogs, and yet I don't get a sense of any personality from her. She seems to be just a gorgeous shell. Anyone else feel this way?

I think you can be guarded and still show a personality, and I don't even mean you have to be charismatic. I feel like you can usually even see something through people's eyes, even if they don't say anything. I agree that Gail isn't charismatic but there's a person there. I almost feel like Padma is not really a person. Do you know what I mean? |

Actually it was Katie Lee Joel who was the first hostess, not Gail Simmons. Gail is still a judge on TC. And I agree, Katie had zero personality. |

Hi Kathy, Thanks for posting! I thought it was Katie Lee Joel but wasn't sure since I didn't watch the first season. She was a pretty boring judge on Iron Chef America too. |
