Wasn’t Carla in two seasons? I thought she went pretty far once. Anyway, I see Carla in so much media, I wonder if Top Chef worked out better for her than the actual winner.
I don’t remember her being in any other seasons
She was in two seasons - Season 5, where she was 1st runner up (along with Stefan Richter as 2nd runner up) and Season 8, the All-Stars, where she came in 5th place.

Not that Carla. The loud mouth Carla who was married to the guy from Rao’s. She was in season 10 Seattle for about 3 episodes

I had honestly forgotten about her. LOL Yeah, she went out pretty quickly at #15 out of 18 in that season.

I always associated that with the Allman Brothers’ “Mountain Jam.”
Hmm. We’ll see what mountain had in mind,
So, after re-watching season14 I remembered that there is something about Brooke that rubs me the wrong way. I’m not sure what, but I remember feeling that way when I watched it the first time and nothing has changed.

For me, it’s not that she rubs me; it’s not something she does, it’s more like something she DOESN’T do. I think she doesn’t make me feel interested or engaged.
Maybe that’s it. But I also feel like she feels entitled to win. I don’t know, but at least she won’t be a chef testa this again.
