The Next Food Network Star

Yes, J and I are addicted to the Next Food Network Star. This is totally our crack. With the exception of the elimination of Brook in hte first episode, we've been delighted with the judges' choice of bootee. I did say that there was no God i the evil blonde Harmony went all the way. But she got kicked out in the second episode and order in the universe was restored. The crazy, Greg Bradyish Mike and the incompetent "Reuben Studdard" Eric were both very satisfying bootees. So now that it's down to the final four, what is our assessment? The one sentence answer is - "anyone but Suzanne."

Suzanne - I hate her. I hate her Rachael Ray perkiness and I hate her I'm just a Mom schtick. Fine. You're a Mom. That doesn't make you any less annoying. And guess what you're on the FOOD Network. From your constant harping on the 87 pounds you lost and your constant talk about "good" foods and "bad" foods, we can tell you hate food. Or at least eating.

Deborah - Inoffensive. That's all I can say. While she can is competent tv personality, she's way too actressy for my taste. She's the Paige Davis of this competition.

Dan and Steve - I just heard...THEY'RE GAY. And they can't shut up about it. I find them to be fairly competent when demoing the cooking but if they "show their personalities" they end up looking cheesy. The judges got it right on this one. Cutesy.

Hans - My favorite to win. Low key, knowledgable, and smart. I like his 20 second mushroom piece where he talked about the qualities of different mushrooms. It was great to hear how the actual mushrooms would fit into the cooking.

Dear Blogger,

One of the article groups on my site is recipes ... while searching for details on apple crisp recipes, I came across your The Next Food Network Star blog.

It is widely accepted that a lot of the best articles on the internet is created by individuals who blog ... good quality content without the bias and waffle often found elsewhere.

Judging by your blog title and content I believe you are interested in apple crisp recipes, and will therefore find our recipes category to be of interest. I am frequently looking for individuals to submit articles on their pet subjects and help me to build the directory to everyone's benefit. As a contributor, you get the recognition of having your article published and seen by thousands of web users. The pride and satisfaction of seeing your article published in a prestige directory is hard to beat.

Few of us are gifted with the ability to write to professional standards of grammatical correctness ... as a result, many bloggers don't bother to have their articles published.
