GREAT news!!! Can't stand her or Tom or Gail. They are WAY TOO FULL of themselves. Padma ALWAYS dressed so the FOCUS would be on her.

i really like padma and will miss her as the host and the judge. tom nor gail could take over that spot. they will really need a stronger personality. i wonder if they could possibly do former top chef alum and rotate them for the hosting position?

my daughter and i were talking and were thinking nigella lawson, rocco di spirito, ming tsai, jamie oliver?

@sabatini I'm with YOU! I quickly tired of her "persona" on the show seemingly making HER the focal point of every episode. Seemed very phony to me.

The father of her daughter is Michael Dell (computer magnate) and I read that he has financially provided for her and their daughter.

Perhaps that contributed to her decision to leave the show after so many years of having to keep to a production schedule and demands.

I read she has a show on Hulu series called "Taste the Nation" where she is creator and host. She is also the executive producer on the series , which focuses on food and cultures in the different regions and cities in the United States.

I thought Padma did a great job! I am very curious about who they will get.

I hope not, there are too many of them that are over-exposed now.

Well this is sad news for me. I've always liked Padma and feel like her and Tom are the heart and soul of the show. Unfortunately I haven't watched for a couple of seasons. Although one of the better reality series, it seems to be getting a little stale so maybe a new host will inject a new feel to the show. I'd like to see past winner Richard Blaze take over. He's very personable and really knows his stuff.
