Chrissy Teigen may have been judging talent on our TV screens, but at home her kids are the ones being the judges!

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the taping of the season 1 finale of Netflix’s revival of Star Search on Tuesday, Feb. 17, Teigen, 40, shared how her four children have taken her role as celebrity judge on the show and flipped it on her at home.

Revealing how her kids are now judging things around the house — including her cooking — since she landed a role on the show, Teigen tells PEOPLE, “Este, my 3-year-old, her favorite thing in the world, is just running around saying five stars to nothing. My older ones are more judgmental with it. They’ll make jokes about my meals or something.”

And her eldest children —  daughter Luna, 9, and son Miles, 7 — appear to be harsh critics, with the cookbook author admitting that she’s “definitely [had] some four or fives. Mexican lasagna. I got a four.”

“I haven’t gotten any threes yet, which is good,” she adds.

Along with Esti, Luna and Miles, Teigen is also mom to son Wren, 2, with her husband, musician John Legend, who joined her at the taping along with some of their kids.

Though their children have become critics, Teigen says that she and Legend, 47, now both being judges on talent shows — Legend was a coach on The Voice for several seasons and will soon be seen on The Voice: Battle of Champions alongside Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine — has seen their brood show her more “respect.”

“I think the best part about it is that we’re a competition show household now, John and I,” the TV personality and model tells PEOPLE. “I think it’s given us just this look of power in the household. We know what we’re talking about all the time. So our kids, I think they respect me more now.”

Teigen judges on Star Search alongside musician Jelly Roll and actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, while black-ish star Anthony Anderson has been at the helm of hosting.

The classic talent show originally ran from 1983 to 1995, followed by a brief revival from 2003 to 2004. Stars including Beyoncé and Britney Spears all appeared on the show before getting to where they are now in their careers.

Teigen’s latest comments on her kids come after she shared an Instagram clip of her youngest children tuning in to watch her on the series — and having the cutest reaction.
