They sent my girl home...Debbie...they sent her home...I'm so mad about that. I would NEVER watch Jeffrey's show...ever! I think they made a HUGE mistake. They better not give the show to Jeffrey. At this point all I have to say is "Go Melissa"!
no one is surprised. Even if the selection committee seems to not be the biggest fans of my girl Debbie right now...they still kept her. Jamika has been on the chopping block for weeks and it was just her time to go! Good luck top 3...to be honest, I probably won't really watch any of your shows!
On a side note...I think the challenge tonight of throwing a cocktail party was lame. Mostly because if you are the chef, I don't think you should also have to be the server. Real life cocktail parties that are this fancy would definitely have servers...I'm just saying. So anyway, I wasn't totally impressed with Debbie tonight and her lack of team work...but she did have the best food...which is probably the only thing that saved her. As for Michael, I am not entirely sad to see him go...his personality was a bit over the top for me, especially tonight, and the fact that he continues to say that he can't handle cameras well really, what are you on the show for anyway?! Jeffrey still bugs me and Jamika is kinda blah...but Melissa is really growing on me. I am not sure if I could watch her show, but she does work her little tail off, make some pretty fancy things for a "home cook" and has some great tips...but I still really like Debbie and I think I would watch her...the preview for next week should be interesting since I saw Bobby tell them to take all of her asian ingredients away.
I am typically not a huge fan of Tyler Florence...love his recipes...but typically not his style on his cooking show....however, on tonight's show...I loved him. He was in the grocery store while the contestants were shopping (on a budget) and they had to do a 30 second tv spot on budget shopping...and he had no quams on stopping them and telling them how not "awesome" they were.
Las Vegas take 2...
Dear TV Reality fans and readers of this site,
Today I had a very sad moment, well 2 actually. The first occurred when I realized it was Monday and I had forgotten to tape The Next Food Network Star. What? How? you ask...I know, it is crazy, really. For all of you DVR and Tivo users you may wonder how some one like myself (who watches way too much TV) could possibly make such a mistake, especially since both machines have the wonderful ability to be set up to record shows for the whole season. Well, my previous DVR was becoming a bit unreliable and as we didn't want to run into the same problem as AJ...we turned our DVR in for a newer one and I have yet to take the time to put all my shows into the season pass. Sunday night was the premiere of BB10 and in my excitement to get that show onto the new DVR's season pass, I forgot about TNFNS...I am truly sad, as I missed the final four in Vegas. I will be searching for a rerun so I can see the food competition, however, I have read that Kelsey (our little cougarette from BYU) has left the show. We are now down to Aaron, Adam and Lisa. I have decided that, although, Lisa annoyed me at first, she is now my fav to win.
My second sad moment of today was much worse then the first. It finally dawned on me that I will not only miss the viewing of SYTYCD...but I will also be unable to vote or watch the kick-off show. When I agreed to attend camp with the girl's in my ward, I did not realize the sacrifice I was making in my tvrealitycomp. I am completely devastated, as I had finally moved up in the standings. However, there have been voters in the past that have gotten perfect scores without even watching (AJ)...so I think I will pre-vote....Jo-Dan, you will need to tally the votes again this week! And hopefully I won't fall too far behind. (Bottom 6: Courtney, Jessica & Kherrington/Mark, Will, Gev. Going home: Jessica & Mark)
So to all you fans out there in TV reality land...wish me luck as I spend the next 3 1/2 days without my reality TV...guess I will have a lot of catching up to do come Saturday night!
I love the food network...I mean I REALLY love the food network...it is on my tv pretty much the entire day! I often make dinner from a recipe I see made on one of the shows that day. Bobby Flay is my fav...I love every one of his shows...and I cheer him on whenever he competes on Iron Chef America. I also love Barefoot contessa, Giada, and enjoy the food that Rachel Ray makes (not so much her). The majority of the "original" chefs I think are great.
Now...maybe I am the only one who watches the Next Food Network Star...but let me just say...I may be watching this competition, however, I am pretty sure that no matter who wins...I will not be watching their show. Seriously? These are my choices. They may know fancy food words, but not a single one could do a show. There have been 3 previous seasons of this show and let me just tell you, only 1 of the 3 is even still on the network. The first season 2 guys won as a team and have a show Party Line with The Hearty Boys, of course I have only ever seen one horrible episode, so I am not sure if they are even on. The second season Guy Fieri won...his cooking show is semi-lame, however, his diners, drive-ins and dives is a great show and I enjoy watching (mostly because I love diners and greasy food). Last year's winner was Amy Finley, who I also viewed one of her HORRIBLE shows. So really, I have absolutely no hope for this year's winner.
The other point that I would like to address, while I am talking food...there are a whole lot of new chefs on my network with really crappy shows, and I think, how did they get this job? And, they didn't have to go on TNFNS to get the job....and yet, their shows SUCK too!
A note to all you chefs out there....please stay off of my network unless you can not only cook, but remain uncheesy and annoying while you do it! And also...I don't care if you can cook the fanciest named foods in the world...you still don't have to act better then the rest of us wannabe Bobby Flays!
