They definitely do a mix of "talent" and "entertainment"

Miss Comedian really choked. Even though I dislike the Dallas, TX Miss Fake more, they did make the right choice. Difficult to get a feel for the contestants in the brief first hour. But they do seem to be a talented group. Hopefully the next few episodes will reinforce that.

Well, at least they really have a variety of view points. Dallas is not long for this world, because she is not likeable.

I think the kid is VERY intriguing.

I want to hit Bobby Flay in the face with BBQ tools.

Caught this one last night too and was glad at who got sent home. She literally FROZE on camera and for someone used to being in front of large audiences, I think she choked big time. The Diva from Dallas will choke soon. She overexplains herself and tries way to hard to impress the judges and falls short every time.

Lisa Garza has the talent to win but her husband is the true chef. I love eating at her husband's restaurant but I have always thought she was a little over the top which will hurt her in this competition.

After watching the first two shows, I'm glad they kept Lisa. I think she's talented but couldn't explain her point of view. Now that she's simplified it, I think people will be able to relate better. The bubbly blonde (Kelsey?) is adorable. I really like her. Should be an interesting season.

I think they only kept her because her focus is Indian food and that's something no one really covers on the network. I would've sent her home for her attitude, too.

After the first episode, I really didn't like Lisa at all, and I think I really waned to hate her. SHe seemed waaaaaay pretentious, but I think either she took what they said to heart about softening her approach, or the editors and producers pieced the show together to make her look a little softer.

I could not work with someone with that nervous energy.

The one they sent home this week, I think was a good choice. Even over Nipa, and her breakdown. The one that went home really brought nothing "new" to the network, or he just didn't express his ideas well enough.

I too adore Kelsey! She has the look and attitude for sure! I'm ok with who went home, but thought the dude with the runny eggs was going. Guess they like his look and attitude and are giving him a chance to redeem himself. Nipa has a massive complex. Hopefully she can hang. Her missing tooth really bugs me though plain

Lisa really impressed me this week! I jumped the gun last week in my opinion of her, but as we all know, week to week they show someone new as the jerk! haahah

Lisa showed some real character in being able to listen to the judges. Mr. Love cook really was lame. Figs and honey = love? Yeah, only if you are feeding each other and playing with it! tongue

So far these contestants are proving quite decent. will be a great season, and definitely higher quality then Hell's Kitchen.

Lisa has shown the ability to quickly adapt and tone it down so far. She did pretty well in episodes 2 and 3.

Can't really disagree with the panel this week. Jeffery was boring. Soul Food without any kick or Sophistication. Throw some lobster or crab into those homefries! tongue

Kelsey is yummy. wink

There is something about Kelsey I just can't get past. She reminds me of Cheri Oteri when she did the Spartans Perfect Cheer on SNL.

"Who's that choking on her own sugary sweetness? It's me! It's me!"



I think we'll see Aaron, Adam, Lisa, and Nipa in the final 4.

Nipa deserved to go. But honestly WHAT do the producers really think is going to come out of a kitchen with FISH AND FREAKING MARSHMALLOW FLUFF???!! Or caramel and sole....that is just GROSS.

I get the distinct impression the selection committee is trying to emulate the foodie snottiness of the Top Chef judges. It falls a bit flat for me. And although I LOVE Michael Symon, that Cleveland accent is ultra annoying.

At this point, Lisa and her Pucci shoes annoy me...in fact, they almost all annoy me. Funny thing though...I found Guy terribly annoying during the competition, but appropriately annoying in his shows..so who knows.

im sorry

but in a kitchen, you dont wear those kind of shoes

and that is why



she should have gone for sheer stupidity trying to be ultra posh in a kitchen for gosh sakes.

you cook in one outfit, you can serve or show the guests stuff in another.

I can't believe Nipa threw out an entire fish. I can't believe she couldn't even touch it. How do you call yourself a cook when you are afraid of fish? I really thought she had a chance because her culinary POV was so different than everyone else's, but she totally blew it.

WTF was up with the heinous ingredients, too? That was ridiculous.

I like Lisa, but the chick needs some friggen' common sense. At this point, Kelsey might well be there at the end. She's very comfortable in front of the camera.

I agree that Nipa cut her own throat with her attitude toward fish. She made no attempt to really flay it. Just took enough off to have a minnow sized piece.

Between stomping off out of the judging a couple of weeks ago and her throwing away that fish... it was time for her to get the boot.

I didn't like Lisa at first but I think she has taken the judges comments to heart and is learning through the process.

Well, so far the 2 successful seasons have had 1 guy and 1 gal win. Lisa is growing on me, but I think she is too close to last season's winner. I was impressed with her this week, but yeah, she needs to be appropriate in the kitchen.

Go Kelsey! Definitely had the advantage winning the presentation with the first pick. And then to find out that the "Iron Chef" style dish was chosen for the menu at Red Lobster! Wow!

Nipa definitely had to go this week. Way to little culinary knowledge. She did have the most unique point of view, but she has a long way to go before she can be considered an expert. Also, does she have any real variety to her culinary cooking besides curries? Yes, I know curry is a huge part of Indian cuisine, but there are a lot of other styles and ingredients.

I think it really is anyone's show still.
Shane is amazing and if he gets comfortable in front of the camera, he could win it.
Aaron started out great but has since choked. I also wonder though if he isn't a single version of "Down Home with the Neelys"
Adam needs to can the physical schtick comedy. He has real talent, but as he said, needs to stop being a Joke.
Jennifer had got to find her confidence.
Kelsey needs to maintain the even-keel she found this week.
Lisa needs to "get real".

I thought Adam should've went last night. Jennifer does lack confidence but she CAN cook. He just doesn't make the right decisions food wise. Like that bone-in chicken last night. Though Aaron should've spoken up, but still. I don't think he'll make it past another couple of weeks.

Kelsey and Shane sure look cute together dancing I'm glad they won. Shane is starting to really come through on the camera.

They are looking for a Television star. This is not just a cooking competition.

Remember, Adam has cooked 1 dish well. So they know he can cook, he just has to do it under pressure. He has tremendous presentation skills and camera presence. He still worked in his great sense of humor without making a completel joke of himself. Jennifer had been told since week 1 she needs to work on her confidence and camera presence. She failed Every time. Aaron was saved because he has proven he can cook and has had at least one good presentation.

Shane and Kelsey were great together. She's a definite Spinner. raised_brow He did seem a bit uneasy about hugging her though when they said they won. lol Unless they really screw the pooch, I can see these 2 being the final 2.

Last years winner, Amy had her show on Sunday's at like 11am or something and it just looked HIGHLY boring. I did not want her to win last year sad I was rooting for the Blue Collar food chick. I haven't even seen a commerical for "Gourmet Next Door" in several months now that I think about it.

I remember seeing commercials that The Gormet Next Door was "moving in" but never did see one of her shows.

I don't think her shows have aired yet. At least, according to Foodnetwork there is no episode list.

Guy Fieri is awesome.

Anyone know what happened to season 1?

I guessed it this week. Shane is a brilliant technical chef. But, as the majority of the panel expressed, his passion does not really manifest itself. If he loves French technique so much, he really needs to go experience it firsthand.

Adam and Aaron nailed the show. Aaron did screw the pooch in the beginning, but did pull it off bigtime. Adam rocked it from step one. Thank goodness he didn't say he always wanted Rachel to pull his meat though! laugh

I am really rooting for Adam now. He has the personality I feel more than anyone. Lisa is too unstable. Aaron needs to shine in presentation form to get ahead, Kelsey still is lacking real authority, and as Bobby pointed out, she could have shown authority by "telling and showing Rachel" how to cook scrambled eggs her way.

I totally agree, Tazzer. I think Adam has the best personality for a show. If he doesn't win, I'm not sure there's anyone else whose show I would watch.

The Gourmet Next Door (Amy) decided she did not want to be away from her family and quit. I think she did 5 or 6 episodes. She went to live in France. Rori should have won by default that season.

Season 1 was the two gay guys who liked to cater parties. Party Line with the Hearty Boys. I think it is still on every once in a while. They are perpetually perky. I think I liked the second place person better.

Guy would be better if he did not wear those distracting "manpris" all the time. He also looks like he overdoes it on the cologne.

Kelsey was ok, but too perky for me at times. Still, I think they would've kept her over Adam if her food hadn't sucked last night.


On another note....

Not only does Guy look like he douses himself in cologne, I detest how he colors his hair/goatee. I simply find him totally disgusting. sick

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dammit. Well, I hope Adam wins. Gee Panel, you think he has a difficult time showing his passion? He already told y'all he is coming off a recently failed restaurant attempt with his family. Of course he is going to struggle showing that passion.

Still better than Bi-Polarish Lisa and Clamshell Aaron on camera though. tongue

I would have had to stab Kelsey had she won. I know she was passionate, but she sounded way too stilted. Can you imagine if she is NOT the most annoying in her group of friends? *shudder*

While Lisa has relaxed a bit...and very well may be the winner, I feel there is NO WAY she will ever be a hit with women. She dresses like the girl you always HATED in high school. Always the perfect outfit, accessories and shoes. Also, real women have bad hair days about 5.7 out of the 7 days in the week. I do not trust that a woman with a perfectly precise haircut has ANY relation to my life. While I will look at her in a magazine,I could not hang in there for 30 minutes, even while hoping I could fine a slip of the scissors made by her stylist. It is the IMPERFECTIONS in people that we find relate-able and endearing. She doesn't WANT to be one of us...and that makes me want to stack her locker. Remember, she was DISDAINFUL ABOUT MAC AND CHEESE!!! SHE IS UNAMERICAN!!!!

Aaron? I like to root for the underdog, and I think he is getting better. But he is a straight up PROJECT. I do admire what he said about being a slow learner, but really getting it when he sticks with it. It is refreshing to see a possible food network star who is not an elitest know-it-all. (See Bobby Flay and his "I have never had a cheeseball what are they like" comment or Martha Stewart with her "I don't like food like that" about Sloppy Joe's). Say what you will, but Aaron is "everyman" who could teach me how to cook...if he learns how to speak.

Adam. Meh. Attractive and funny. I think he has been WAY over criticized for his food. If it has really been that bad, why is he still THERE? But don't they already have him on Food Network? Who is the dude that is a bachelor and cooks for all of his friends on a budget? Isn't that just Adam with a different name? I am Switzerland on Adam.

In summary. No one should win from this group and the second place winner from last year should get a show because she was ripped off by Amy and the network.

The end.

It was the only solution, as they are HOPING an asteroid hits the production during the finale instantly killing all three contestants, but leaving Bobby Flay with a light, perfect sear,

This way, Food Network will not have to try and make a decent show from ANY of them! And you noticed (I hope) that Bob Tushieman echoed my feelings about Lisa...NO ONE LIKES HER!

I think Aaron will take it.

He has proven he can cook, and *can* be a likable, shiny person.

Adam could take it. He does have the polished stage presence, and I like his inventive techniques.

Personally, I could not and would not watch Lisa. Who really needs another Martha Stewart?

Lisa will win. She is building the next Martha Stewart juggernaut and the Food Network wants to latch on to that.

She is also the perfect alternative to the totally insipid and bland Rachael Ray

PJR has a very valid point, but I'm going to give the nod to Adam. I think he has a POV that will inspire viewers to tune in and I think he'd be an engaging host. The other two would put me to sleep, no matter how good thier culinary skills.

I hope Adam will win.


I think Adam will win if he shines both with cooking and personality. He had the personality for weeks, then shifted into cooking and sacrificed the personality. If he can blend to two, he has it.

Aaron could win If he overcomes his stage fright.

Lisa has the lowest chance of winning. Sure, she dazzled the judges with singing, but then she goes and admits she cannot memorize things easily regarding her camera work. Oooooops. I know I could not watch Lisa, her eyes/eyebrows are too bizarre and her personality just irks me.
