This relationship still seems weird to me. Can‘t really explain why.

Why does everybody here hate them being together? They are grown ass adults. Yes, he has cheated, yes she is younger. But they are both ADULTS. She's 47 and he is 60, people act like he is robbing the cradle, she's almost 50! This isn't a huge age gap, I just don't get the hate. Get a life!

I hate them being together because I have been a fan of Brooke since her first season on Top Chef and I just thought she had higher standards than to date Bobby. I understand that in person he might be charming, but he gives me the ick and nothing about his personal life indicates my vibes are off.

I liked her a lot in her first season but then her attitude became so entitled and I was over her. Don’t much care what she does now

She’s interesting to me because she’s clearly an incredible chef and an asset to FN. 

My problem with her is that she is limited to brief judging and competing. She’s just too much of a wet noodle to host. 

Dating Bobby is great for job security, but deep down she has to know that eventually it won’t end well given his track record.

Maybe he is great in bed, and she is ok with it? It’s none of my business, but I understand the side eye when they are on screen together.
