The Next Food Network Star: Season 5 (doctor, show, NYC, challenge)

[bs13690]

Teddy was a jerk. I wonder if he is like that in real life. I think Katy will go next.

The Bring It For Bobby Flay Burger Challenge Recap:

Katie: We get that you make really nutritious food that will literally kill us if we eat it. We ALL get it, we really do. So please stop serving us raw proteins. I would have more respect for you if you made some incredible raw food instead (that's suppose to be raw, not oops, it's raw)

Melissa: WOW, you were not manic this week! Very good! Glad your confidence is showing since the nay sayers are leaving at a fast pace.

Michael: Good burger and thanks for sharing the story. He kept it simple and I think that's what makes a good burger a good burger.

Teddy: Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. What the heck does your burger have to do with Pennsylvania? You would have been better cutting off the image of the Quaker Oats Man and using it to top your burger than the "inspiration" that you gave us.

Jeffrey, Jamika and Debbie - I love you guys but I didn't get your burgers.

And Debbie, what are you doing walking behind someone in the kitchen without saying "behind you"? The two J's (Jamika and Jeffrey) both produced some big beige food. Ick. Nothing like seeing gooey gross food in HD!

And one last thought, see ya Teddy! Maybe you can get a job as a politician now. South Carolina might looking for a new Governor soon.

I wouldn't watch any of these people if they had their own show. That goes for the previous seasons as well - the only decent person to come out of Food Network Star is Guy Fieri.

I agree. I particularly like 3D's.

I too agree with Guy.......I think he is the only one who is still on and has multiple shows Oh, and last season winner Aaron (Big Daddy) is still on. I don't know how that Adam Gertler the runner-up last year is now hosting some shows. I don't like him at all

Amy the winner by default the year before is gone. I think she did 3 shows then moved to France or something like that. She was horrible too.

Haven't seen the two gay guys so not sure if they are still on.

Long story short, most have been losers and I don't see anybody in this season that would keep me tuned in to watch them.

Glad Melissa won the challenge but when I watch her, I see a Miss America not a chef
Michael makes me laugh but I think his humor would get old fast.
Katie, you have to be next to go (I know I said that last week).

Hey Katie, I make turkey burgers all the time. They take no more time to make than beef burgers on top of the stove. Maybe less since they aren't as dense. They need a little more oil, that's all. Someone send her a cookbook please.

Melissa (is that the SAHM?) - really liked her this week. She's the only one I think I'd watch on tv b/c she is the only one who's making food I would eat.

The others all seem to be going downhill at a rapid pace.

Well was really glad to see Teddy go, would like to see Debbie, both of them have lied and that really bugs me. To be honest this year I am not impressed at all with any of the contestants and I agree with others the only one I like watching that has won this show is Guy.

No kidding. The grill thingy wasn't hot enough, so why not just throw them in a frying pan for a couple of minutes.

Seriously, they interview hundreds of people for this show, and this is the best they can come up with? I'm beginning to think the only question the producers ask is, Can you cry on demand? You're in.

ITA too. I can't even remember the other winners.

Did you all hear Bobby Flay say they were the last 7 people to be given this chance or was I dreaming? Maybe it's the last season, but if so why didn't they find more interesting/talented people?
