watching does make me a little hungry...

I'm very confused about this show...they have the pick of thousands of chefs/cooks/whoevers to be on this show...I would love to be on this show...but from all the people that enter...they choose this group?  There is only one in that group that I would actually watch on the Food Network: Debbie Lee

Let's look at the history of this show...this is the 5th season.  Season 1: Dan and Steve won...I saw their show once...holy cow was it BAD. America chose them...not a good choice...thank goodness their show is gone.  Then came Season 2: winner: Guy Fieri....America chose...good choice...I am not in love with his cooking show, but I do love "Diners, drive-ins, and dives"...He is great.  On Season 3...Amy Finley was the winner...again...not a good choice America...and NOT a good show...another cancellation.  I guess FN decided that 1 of 3 were not good enough results for America to continue picking the Next Food Network Star...so in Season 4...they made the choice for us and Aaron McCargo took the prize.  I cannot stand his show...or him really...but he is still on the air, so we shall see.

...and now we are at season 5 and the majority of the kids are not "tv worthy"...On tonight's episode Mama Melissa (my kinda experience...cooking for a family...although I don't really like her) was running behind on plating her food.  She had it all made, but appeared a bit frantic...so "knights in shining armor" Teddy and Brett stepped in to save the day....or help her plate her food.  Which I really don't think she needed...telling them what to do took longer then if she did it herself AND made her look more frantic.  Then in the elimination room...Brett TOTALLY throws Mama Melissa "under the bus" and basically claims that he and Teddy helped her complete her dishes...making it sound like they actually helped make her food.  It was not good...Brett was a total jerk about it...and his reward ELIMINATION!  Thank goodness!

I'm pretty much just going to watch each week to make sure that Debbie doesn't get eliminated!  And of course to watch Bobby Flay, 'cause I love him!

Great recap Dallin. My husband and I are enjoying this series. We were happy to see Brett kicked off last night because of his behavior towards Melissa.

Seriously...Debbie!?!?!? Did you not watch the first episode? Angel food cake and jam? And with her "years of catering experience" she was not able to shop on a budget? COME ON!!! You are such an asian lover! (I mean the food...). My household is partial to Jeffery and Jamika...and even Michael over Debbie! I can not believe we are on such different pages on this...
