The host of Chipped is gay, hence the rather weighted representation of gays among the contestants in general. If one watched that show and didn’t realize that, you’d think something like 25% of the food industry was gay.
Grr, I mean Chopped.
The one thing that I find “interesting” about Chopped is that the judges really and sincerely focus on the food.
I have seen overtly gay participants eliminated several times. Yes, Ted is gay (or, maybe he just presents himself as such having been the food editor for “Queer Eye”?).
I do cringe when a contestant is over-the-top regarding their “gaity”. It has nothing to do with their prowess as a chef and, for me, makes me wonder about HEP-C and other “queer-centered” virii and diseases.
I feel the same regarding heavily tatooed chefs...do I need a HEP-C booster to eat at those restaurants?
