Just finished watching last night's ep. Michael definitely needed to go! And so did Eric. Both of 'em put all their eggs in the personality basket. And I think I'd get tired of watching 'em for a half hour show. (Paula Deen was right... it really is between the cook and the viewer. Those with whom I feel a connection are, obviously, those whom I like and prefer to watch!) Deborah. Ack. She really does need to go. News anchor. ROTFLMAO! Nail. Meet head. Hans did definitely improve! I really liked his 7 minute segment on Paula's stuff. He did talk WAY too fast on his 20 sec spot, though. Heck, *I* talk fast and *I* hadda problem keeping up with him! Steve and Dan did a great job on their 7 minute segment but they really need to cut back on "cutesy." A little cute goes a real long way! I do like their patter though, when they keep it under control. And Susannah. Good lord, girl. Let it go. We get it already. You lost a lot of weight. You're a regular kinda gal. If you are gonna make fried green tomatos with a hollandaise and bacon, you are not gonna be watching what you eat. Period. I know I'd never eat most of what Paula Deen cooks, but I do like getting ideas from her. And I like watching her. She makes me smile because she DOES talk a lot. But for some reason, I enjoy her. And her not so "Princess bites" kinda bug me but not enough to make me change the channel. So, I predict (and will jump on the bandwagon with the rest of youse)... Hans, and SteveAndDan. Final two. You heard it here!

FYI for everyone who is on the West Coast or other non-Eastern time zones -- looks like they will be showing the final 90-minute episode at 9:00 Eastern, 6:00 pm Pacific tomorrow, which is very good news! That means everyone will be allowed to vote. Well, except me...I have to work a conference all day and night tomorrow, so I will have to tape it and watch Monday or Tuesday Anyone wanna put a vote in for me for SteveAndDan?

I finally got to catch a couple episodes yesterday. All the contestants seem nice enough and mostly knowledgable in what they are preparing...maybe it's just me...but I can't see any of them carrying a 30 minute show everyday.

Nancy, thanks for the head's up! I would've set my VCR to record at 9pm my time (PDT) and would've totally MISSED the finale!

And... no one's watching????? I thought Hans rocked! (And so did Harry.) I thought Deborah choked. Wasn't impressed so much with Susannah either. Can't wait to see the two guys...

Well, it looks like I'll be voting for Dan and Steve, even though I think Hans was the best of them all food-wise.

Wow! They really are doing this live! Not fun trying to get in to the FTV Web site, though!

Yeah, if I can get in, I'm voting for D&S. Deborah? Notta chance! It would've really been a toss up if it had been H vs D&S. They made it easy for me!

I thought the same thing Tishala! They definitely see something in her that I just don't. Has she gotten through any of the presentations without a big screw-up on the technical side of things? I don't know...I just didn't like her nearly as much as some of the people eliminated before her. If she wins, I'm not likely to watch her show. So, I'll be voting for Dan & Steve.

You know what?! This is really really irritating me. How can they have a contest where you vote on line and tnen their site can't even handle the traffic?! It's not they have millions and millions of people logging on a la American Idol.

I think we may be sharing a brain here tonight Tishala. Every time I come here to post something, you've already said it

I'm totally with you Tish! This is ridiculous. They KNEW they were gonna have a lot of voters. They could've added servers and increased the bandwidth. I'm really getting ticked off...

I got onto the website but am getting nowhere when I click on the place to vote. It just stalls. Dan & Steve all the way for me though I really was hoping to vote for Hans. I've liked him from the very first show. But, I like Dan & Steve a lot, too, so it's fine. Deborah just can't hold it together through a whole challenge so I can't believe she'd make it through an entire half hour show.

I can get to the login page, but once I try to login as guest, it fails. Nice, Food Network!

Well, I'm giving up. Can you believe I even registered with the site just so I could vote tonight(of course, that was all so I could vote for Hans!)? Stupid FoodNetwork.com. I just hope the Dan & Steve voters are getting through. If Deborah wins, I am SO starting a conspiracy theory!

If Deborah wins I am so gonna FLAME Food Network. This is ridiculous! (And I feel sorry for anyone on a dial-up, considering how slow this is with high speed connections!)
