It may be a cooking show, but every episode of Top Chef is an emoional rollercoaster. Here are some of the most common thoughts I have while watching Top Chef…

1. I can’t wait to see Padma’s outfit today.

What will it be? Who knows, but I bet you it will be fabulous.

2. Oh, she looks fabulous. What else is new?

Told you.

3. Brooke is just so cool.

Have you seen her? She is a badass in the kitchen!

4. Can I be Brooke?

She’s almost (if not) a perfect human.

5. This food looks so good. Can I have that?

I have considered changing my whole career path in order to be the food photographer of this show.

6. I wasn’t hungry, but then I started watching this.

Literally ate an hour ago. Top Chef why do you do this to me???

7. GET YOUR FOOD ON THE PLATE CHEFS!

I need complete dishes from everyone!!!

8. This music is so intense.

I can’t say that they don’t make it suspenseful.

9. John, please stop talking.

All of America begs you.

10.Tom Colicchio is my favorite, oh my god.

The sass. The skill. What more do you want?

11. How do you get to be a Top Chef judge?

#DreamJob.

12. They get paid to EAT. CAN I BE THEM?

See above.

13. Sheldon is a TEDDY BEAR.

He is the sweetest!

14.Why does Emily annoy me every time she speaks?

All she does is whine and complain!

15. Or breathes.

Again, see above.

16. She may be the most annoying person on Top Chef EVER.

That’s 14 seasons, people.

17. Padma is literally just wearing a t-shirt and jeans but she still looks amazing.

She doesn’t even have to try. It’s fine. I’m fine.

18. I see that Tom is going casual with the short-sleeved chef jacket today.

A departure from his normal look.

19. I can’t wait to see what Padma will wear in Mexico.

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?!?

20. BROOKE NO. SHE CAN’T GO HOME. SHE IS CRYING. I AM CRYING.

We all just really wanted her to win…

21. Ugh, can’t wait for next week.

I need a week long break from my emotions, anyway,

Always going to be tuning into Top Chef, because let’s face it – -it’s the best food competition show on television!
