"Top Chef's" Padma Lakshmi Talks About Objectivity...

I've been watching "Top Chef" from the beginning. Remember season one and the pretty but boring Mrs. Billy Joel [yawn]. Granted she's probably one of the prettier fish mongers around but she was such a flat-liner, she brought no juice to the show. Jump to season two with Padma Lakshmi whose energy comes right through the TV screen. I also like the chemistry between she and Tom Colicchio as well as the chef contestants. I loved the episode this season where she enters the penthouse and wakes up the chefs, C.J.'s comments to Padma were hilarious. We couldn't see Padma's face but if you listen she burst out laughing in response to C.J. remark. It's fun, she brings her unique style and energy to the show. Padma rocks! Watch this behind the scenes clip of her explaining her roll on the show.
