Poor Kimberly, I felt like she had to be rescued by the other hosts since she was not “feeling it” at the Steakhouse–which is probably a place she would never herself go since she is a vegetarian. I felt that the judges were smart in pushing all three finalists out of their comfort zone to see who had the best adaptability, and a good foundation on which to build upon.
She is cute but again even on her MOS segment, I felt she was a little lost and nervous too. She just needs more experience.

Kimberly’s cute, but why did she wait for the last minute to mention she’s a vegetarian? I wonder how the segment would have gone if the other host didn’t come in to save her…

Kimberly is very cute and seems very genuine and sweet…I feel she is just not ready for this job. Maybe after a few more years of experience she would be great! But I feel like she was a little awkward and has a weak presence.

She looks very nervous and inexperienced. I think she could do well, but needs more experience. I don’t think she asked any questions to help me learn more about this place so I could decide whether I’d want to even go there or not.

KImberly came off a bit uncomfortable and loopy to me. Her confidence appeared to be in question. Whether nerves or what, but you have to hit the ground running during these remotes. I think she struggled a bit too much. Not my first choice.

Perhaps not quite ready for prime time, though she’s cute and pleasant.
As the judges noted, if she had turned the vegetarian part around, it
could have made it a more positive situation. Saying that it was
“unfortunate” made it unfortunate. Also, saying “kindof a” seemed
weak to me. I would have liked to have seen something like:
“Like myself, I’m sure many of our viewers out there are vegetarian.
What does Wolfgang’s offer to cater to those customers?”
