I actually like Toby fine. He sucked at first but then he grew into it pretty nicely. - Callisto Jun 17, 10:21 14
- Eric is a demi-god to me, so I'm incredibly happy. He is half the reason I was a Jen fan last season. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:42
- never got the Toby hate -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:21 12
  - I've always found him to be a product containing vinegar and water. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:26 2
    - but he admits to being that. he called his book How to Lose Friends and Alienate People -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:28
    - i don't get these Idaho put-downs -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:27
  - I didn't like him at first but found him okay by the end. I wish he hadn't forced the quips so much, though. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:24 6
    - I always considered that his background is as a newspaper food critic, so his quips always seemed like they played better in that format than on TV. -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 17, 10:28 5
      - I think that's probably true. On tv, it feels awkward more often than not. Meanwhile, Ripert's knowledge makes him a genius addition. - David Jun 17, 10:36 4
        
        I would like to see Hubert Keller as a full-time judge one season -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:39 3
        
        That would be *wonderful*. He was on a couple of times as a judge during the first season. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:39 2
        
        Top Chef Master's (one) enduring legacy will be having allowed lots of people to see what a great guy he is. -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:42 1
        
        love Hubert - but it had another legacy to me, every Saturday I tivo Rick Bayliss's show on PBS -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:43
  - (and i read a rumor that Fabio from a few seasons ago was in the running for the new judge's spot) - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:22 1
    - I ADORED him ... he was so entertaining! -- nm - JenBro Jun 17, 11:09
