Tom is awesome. For realuty tv he is on of the honest and doesn't care the camera is going. He is great chef himself and and even better judge. I like the way he tells it like it is and doesn't take any *$%^# from them. I think when people say he is a hard and crabby I think they are wrong, he is not there to be their friend. He is a judge and he is nice but if you act, talk, to do something stupid I can see why he could get crabby. I am glad he is here again this season, he was a big part in the first and the second season wow need a harda@@ to keep them straight! Go Tom!
