From Bob's Blog "We covered her swollen purple bruise with makeup, and I wish you could have seen it. Painful just to look at, so I give her points
for soldiering on (no pun intended). "
The way she was carrying on, I figured something was broken. It was just a bruise? What a baby. Plus, her food sucked before she was whacked. |

I thought she got burned. A bruise isn't that bad.

Okay, while this season is way fun and drama-filled, I really, really don't like anyone left. And that feels weird for me. Let me go down the list...
Jameka: I think she has a fun personality, but like many others have said, I don't want to see another fiesty black woman on Food Network right now. I think the Neeleys can get a little irritating, but I do like Cooking For Real...Aaron has grown up a lot, but his food hardly ever looks like something I'd be excited to eat without feeling kinda bloated about. Oh and by the way, she had the EASIEST basket. Cheddar cheese, sausage, and beer? HELLOOOOO! CHEDDAR BEER SOUP WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE! Ugh, she definitely fucked up a very easy meal. Melissa: Wah wah wah, she's underestimated. I get it. I feel like the judges have babied her throughout this competition and trying to get her extra confidence so she loses the frantic stress she's always in...it has worked, but I mean the way they talk to her is even like praising a child: "You thought about tasting the food before you cooked it? Wow, you're SO smart Melissa, good job! You're incredible!" Jeffrey: As far as how they determined how to do the baskets, I don't know, but he definitely got screwed on that one. I know everyone else likes him, but he annoys the FUCK out of me. He almost has this wave of arrogance like "I'm the best one here this is no contest" and is so smug I can't really warm up to him. Also, the way he was just slashing those live lobsters was really cruel and very hard for me to watch. Michael: I don't get how people find his personality all bubbly and entertaining. His food looks delicious though, but in front of a crowd he would make me uncomfortable, he's just way too out there. I think he is just as obnoxious as Teddy was, so I really think they need to tell him to tone it down a bit, I wouldn't enjoy watching him cook because it's not soothing. Plus, I thought the soldiers would hate him with all of the DADT shit and how hush hush the military is about gays...oh well. Debbie: I used to like Debbie, but she is playing to the pity party a little too much for me. I understand her culinary point of view, but I want something else from her, like a funny story or something, she always looks so upset/angry...and most of the FN bloggers definitely do not like her. Katie: What is there to say about Katie....she sucks, and I think we all know it. She is staying over people with more cooking skill which just makes me roll my eyes. If she was more like Adam and an awesome presenter, I would understand it--but not so much. I have a feeling someone more deserving is going to go this next week, so I just hope that person is Jeffrey. |

Jameka has an unpleasant voice. That is a dealbreaker for an on-air personality.

Well, if she doesn't win, she can always go to Korea, get a show on the Korean food channel and show all kinds of ways to cook dog meat which is very popular in Korea with hundreds of dog meat restaurants everywhere.morlockx15 wrote: |

Okay so the teams for the next challenge are:
Jameka and Jeffrey Katie and Debbie Michael and Melissa My gut is that Debbie and Katie rock this challenge and Michael and Melissa do well but take it too far (essentially, Michael goes overboard). Jameka, Michael, and Jeffrey will be in the bottom...and I think Jeffrey eats it. Haha. |

I don't find the Neely's or Paula annoying either, then again I have a lot of friends in the South and they talk just like them so maybe I am just used
to it.
I agree with Michael's food looking delicious but his sweating and nerves getting in the way. Katie just needs to DIAF. Hate her and her bug eyes. Jeffrey was my pick in the beginning but his forehead (5head) is very distracting. Jameka is OK but we already have Neely,BigDaddyandSunny. Debbie annoys me. Wait this leaves Melissa? I won't watch her. I guess I won't watch any of them. |

So funny. "We alread have enough..." Is there a prescribed quota you can't go over? That just doesn't sound right.

This is how the judges think:
It is easier to teach someone with star quality to cook than it is to teach someone who can cook to have TV appeal. |

I think the most interesting idea for yet another "food network star" is something with a healthy, cost efficient, and an organic bent--but
only if that person has "it" and makes fabulous, delicious, creative, and unexpected food. She does neither.
They are all so forgettable, as is their food. This is the best they could come up with? The only thing I really remember are the strange ingredients, and the questionable behavior. The rest is just noise. |

morlockx15 wrote: X And I think this is the RIGHT approach. You can have producers/consultants come up with the recipes and prep the ingredients and write out the script. All the star has to do is deliver it convincingly and appealingly. Their cooking doesn't even HAVE to be good, as nobody is tasting it. They can even swap out with something that looks good if they need to... I bet Meryl Streep and Amy Adams as their characters in the Julia Child movie will be entirely convincing, whether either of them can actually cook or not. It's all about the performance... |

Did you see Sweeny Todd? Helena Bonham Carter had to make pies sing w/some rhythm thrown in. She pulled it off. In this competition there also has to be
passion for food.

yes.
and i agree with drew. the actual cooking is really secondary, which is why i think jeffrey will not win. he's a pretty good cook, but does not have much of a presence on TV. there are probably a hundred other better cooks out there than him that have the same level of talent for TV, so why pick him? they need someone who really shines as a personality, not so much as a cook. that's why they screwed up not picking adam last year. his food was meh, but the guy can talk and connect to a camera. big daddy had, um, none of those qualities. |

See, now I have no opinion on Jeffrey's food, but I think he's the only one who is relaxed and relatable as a host. Debbie and Melissa have potential.
The others are all dreadful! So manic and awkward!!!
