Since I was gone last weekend, I had two episodes to watch of The Next Food Network Star. (And I had to avoid all news of the show since I hate knowing the outcome before I watch the show! I like to savor the as-it-happens drama. LOL!) But it was no surprise when Teddy went home. The guy was so annoying on camera, you felt bad for him. This week’s dismissal of Katie was sad but I think it was obvious she was next in line. (Bella is still upset since she was her favorite.)
As for the rest of the bunch, my favorite is still Melissa even though she can be so hyper and spastic at times. If she could calm down and take a deep breath, she is enjoyable and I’d be most likely to cook her food and relate to her. I also really love Jeffery and don’t think he is “too zen,” but then again, I am used to the California vibe. However, it seems that lately there is something missing with him and I hope he can pull it together and at least get to the top two.
Debbie is funny and friendly and seems to be a fave of the judges but I don’t think I’d ever cook her food. Jamika seems so sweet and has a nice personality but she is definitely next if she doesn’t snap out of the funk she is in. Again, I’m not sure if I’d cook her food but she is enjoyable to watch, or at least she used to be. Lastly, Michael is a character and he cracks me up with his weirdness. I don’t think I’d watch a cooking show with him but he’d be fun to watch (at last for a while) on one of those “educational” cooking shows that interacts with different people and places, sort of like Adam Gertler does.
Speaking of Adam, do you watch his Armchair Judge videos. He is hilarious. Love it! Well, we’ll see what happens next week! š

My husband and I watch too. I really like Melissa (I think that is who you like too), but maybe it is the SAHM in me. I would have sent Michael packing before Katie just because Katie seems to be, albeit slowly, improving on her difficult areas whereas Michael seems to have just as much a problem with working in front of a camera as he had since the beginning and, if you can’t work in front of a camera, TV is just not the place for you. I also had liked some of Katie’s ideas, even if she didn’t always execute them well. I do like Jeffrey, but he needs to talk more about himself – lately he seems like a broken record. I like Debbie, but I agree with the judges – give me something besides the fact you are Korean. I’ve liked Jamika but agree with you – she needs to bounce back.
My husband reads Bob Tushman’s blog and it has been kindof interesting.
Looking forward to next week.
Thanks for the name correction, Katherine. (I was thinking of my friend Michele when I wrote that. LOL!)Valid point between Michael and Katie. She did seem to be growing and learning more than some of the others and I liked her personality. When she was flustered it seemed to be more nerves but the potential was there. Looking forward to the next show too! š
