A next food network star first...

Las Vegas take 2...

Down to the final 3 and the challenge...star in your own commercial and then prepare a buffet to feed a room full of Vegas headliners.  All the commercials were cheesy...but the buffets looked delicious.  I have a question...if the whole point of the food network is to appeal to those of us who sit home during the day with the boob tube on...and it is us TV fanatics that will be cooking this food, why don't they have your average everyday eater and stay at home mom's tasting and judging the food?  Judging panel, quit telling me what "the viewer at home" will want to watch and copy...let me decide already.  I think that I would be a highly qualified member of the judging panel...

So after the challenge...there was no elimination, kinda sad really, I like to see who gets voted off each week...oh well!  Guess have 3 in the final will work just fine!  Next Sunday they are back in NY for their final challenge.  From the previews it looks like they will do an actual cooking show in Rachel Ray's kitchen...should be interesting!  I am not sure who most of America is liking, but my fav is Lisa, mostly be default.  I don't like either Aaron or Adam...I wouldn't watch their shows, but I might tune in from time to time on Lisa's...even it if is too see what she is wearing and how she has accessorized!  Ohh the fun in cooking!
