I thought Rory should have gone home and Patrick given another week. Overall, could be interesting. The guy with the "mean marine" look and the hat, Jag, reminded me of someone on Top Chef, I think his name was Miguel, the one who lispingly called the red head a sssss ssnake ssss ( thought his hissing at her was one of the best moments that season). Not just because of the hat, he also kept calling BF chef, similar build and attitude. The Wise-guy type will probably drive me crazy, ya kno wat I mean, fuggitaboudit.

The orange team failed miserably. They didn't have constant food out, or people serving, during the hors d'oeurves. The bride complained that the orange teams' veggie options were more like side dishes, something she specifically asked not to do. Nick, they'll probably replay both hours again before next Sunday. I haven't checked, but they usually do, especially right after the season premiere.

Thanks all! I'll keep my eyes opened for an earlier replay.

Here they played part 1, part 2, repeated part 1, then part 2 and then it started in on part 1 again! I think we are stuck with Rory for at least awhile, seeing as how they are having her do so much narration and how they consider her a star already. She should have gone home. I really hope she didn't run the other restaurant in town out of business (that is what many people feared) and now she's ready to take off for the food channel if she wins. I will give her credit for apparently moving to Vega and doing what she said she'd do. Tommy is irritating. As far as Rachael goes, it is almost definite that she'll be on at least one episode. I seem to remember a preview with Paula Dean.. they'll feature their shows and hosts.. Emeril, Wolfgang Puck Vacanick.. it looks like Part 1 reruns Thursday at 9pm, Part 2 at 10pm. And then they repeat again at midnight and 1am (friday)

Actually, Sea, I like everything about Rachel except the laugh. That is dreadful, but I like her food and respect that fact that she doesn't claim to be anything more than what she is - a cook!

Especially the laugh! But I also hate her trying to be "cute" all the time (the EVOO, the "sammies"). And then the laugh. Ack! (My mom told me she's getting divorced again, too. I won't comment on what I said when I heard! )

Costa, your mom's getting divorced again or Rachael's getting divorced again, in which case, I must exclaim, "Again?!?", 'cause I didn't know she was married before! In case it's your mom, sorry to hear that.

I really like this show, glad it's back. The judges are fair and seem to really care about the contestants. They appear to hate it to have to cut someone. Right now I'm routing for Adrien. I like his personality. From the audition videos I expected more from Viven and Patrick. The judges were right to cut them although I wouldn't have been surprised if they cut Colombe. She was not a very good leader and I couldn't believe the way she was so afraid to buy stuff. Not fond of Rory, Michael, Nikki, or Tommy at this point.

LOL Jhezzie. Rachel is getting divorced "again." And along with my snarky comment to my mother, I also said "I didn't know she'd been married before!" (Apparently, her hubby was messing around with someone else and Rachel decided to retaliate and mess around with another man, and well, I guess things ended there. All from my mother... no idea of her source.)

I believe I did see something about that on one of the tabloids when I was at the grocery store the other day. "Rachael Ray in cheating shocker" or some similar headline. I enjoyed the first 2 eps. I like this show. I agree with what others have said...its a kinder show and that makes it fun to watch. I was fine with the eliminations, but wouldn't have complained if Columbe was the one to go. In the grocery store, I didn't get her budget concerns...why not just do some mental math while you shop? Stores usually have prices listed...and for produce, they usually have a scale, so you can weigh your own. And if you can't do mental math, pick up a cheap calculator in the school/office supplies aisle. Keep a running total, if you get the items you need and still have money left, go back and get more. They had, an hour to shop, didn't they? An hour, with a list...and more than one person? It should NOT have been that hard.

Rachel's only been married once, and I hope people aren't basing what's going on in Rachel's personal life on what tabloids write. If there was cheating going on and her marriage is over, that's probably not something to cheer about.

I didn't say I cheered. I said I made a snarky comment TO MY MOTHER. I also said "all from my mother... no idea of her source." Don't like her, never have, never will.

Dropping in to say a couple of things - I admired Bobby Flay even more than I already did when he jumped in and served what was left on the Orange team's table after they had abandoned it. He wanted to be sure that the wedding guests had a good time - Secondly, you NEVR EVER run out of food before everyone is served for the first time. If necessary, you chop and serve one of the kitchen staff and/or the table decorations!

LOL-- serving up kitchen staff MIGHT lead to a rather unpleasant dining experience, but at least there would be FOOD!

Countrydaze stated: Good show, the girl from Texas, can't remember her name with the long blonde hair was on another show about people who lived with different families and the town voted to get rid of one each week. I think her name is Tory or something like that, and I thought she was kind of cocky in that and didn't care for her in this one either. She made too many excuses for her mistakes. Seemed nothing was ever her fault. Right, Country. When I saw Rory I thought she looked familiar and when she said she was from Vega, Texas, I knew! That's where her previous Reality Show was held. She undercut people in that comp and I think she started a rumor about one of the other girls in the competition. She would go around cooking for everyone. She didn't win, did she? She said she's building a restaurant in Vega. Sounds like she is another Reality Show Star Junkie. When she loses this one, we'll see her pop up on another. She must have an agent pushing her. I like these judges and was so glad when the judge cut her off while she was making excuses. I, too, think she should have gone over Patrick. I have a few faves already and hope they make it far.

I was disappointed with the results from tonight's show. What the heck is Columbe still doing there? Two weeks in a row that she's deserved to go and hasn't. And Rory, all those ribs in that little pan for 90 minutes only and they're perfectly done? I don't think so ...

TNT, since I don't really cook, I'm more interested in eating and I don't need the irritation of Rachael in order to eat I thought Colombe would be the one to leave; she was a total mess (but not the only one) I fear Rory is already the chosen one and she doesn't work for me at all. However I'm not exactly the demographic they are looking to seduce anyway. LOL, Ladytex, yeah after 90 minutes they'd either be very cooked and leathery or still rubbery, but that didn't phase the judges, huh? She also got everyone else off their scripts on the first challenge, but she was smart to quickly "volunteer" to go first. I guess in Vega, her fans will be proud of her if she wins and her detractors, and the owners of the other restaurant might be happy to have her pack up her knives and boogie off to New York. I've heard that divorce rumor about Rachael, but I dunno, only recently she was featured as happy as a clam in her marriage in People.

The ribs might have been okay, but she cooked them in the oven, not the grill...and the whole thing was a grilling challenge. Yes, you could cook them on a grill...but grilled ribs aren't exactly new and different...and her's weren't grilled. And if I actually liked her I probably wouldn't care, but... Wasn't sad to see Nikki go, but would have preferred Rory or Columbe. Realized that I actually like all the guys at this point...some more than others, but no guys that I dislike.

Ok, I'm sorry but I have to call FN out on this. FN is being lamented for white washing their network. Currently, there is not one non-white host with a regular program. FN seems to be favoring personalities and the ability to prepare quick meals over real talent and diversity. Heck, even Mario just had his long time show canceled, and he's one of their best chefs. At the start of this series, there were 4 contestants of color. After 2 eliminations, 3 are gone and only 1 remains. Maybe they were the ones who deserved to go. Maybe. But given the current color palette of FN, it really stands out that 3 of the 4 non white contestants are gone. Again, I'm a white male and I'm calling FN out on this. Last season, the runner up happened to be black and gay, and many thought he should have won. I like Guy Fieri, and I'm glad he won; but this...I don't know. It just looks bad. The only time "ethnic" chefs or chefs of color appear on FN is either old episodes from days gone by shows, or challengers on Iron Chef America (and, shocker, they usually lose.) Maybe if FN was a bigger deal there'd be more about it in the national press, although there have been stories here and there. Many famous chefs have also expressed their dismay with FN's current climate. I like JAG, and although I didn't think he'd win, at this point I gotta hope that he does even over my homey Adrien. Although, I will say that come July, Food Network will get their first Latina hostess: http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/news/newsbyid.asp?id=66020&cat=Arts+%26amp%3B+Entertainment+News&more=%2Fentertainment%2F

I think it's subjective if Mario is "one of their best chefs." And honestly, I think the ones eliminated deserved to go. I think hoping that someone who is not white wins, just because that person is not white, is reverse discrimination. I, personally, don't like Jag, and wouldn't watch a show with him on it. His ethnicity has nothing to do with it; his abrasive personality does.

I swear Paul is the son of the guy that is a judge that is the head of FN. They look so much a like to me I thought Tommy should have gone , over the past 2 episodes Adrian & Michael are my favs, but would have liked to see a woman win I wanted to like Niki , she is beautiful, but I don't think she had the personality Jag , wayyyyy to intense. I know a lot of people start ribs in oven and finish off on grill Maybe that is what R0ry did

I thought Nikki would do much better, but the judges were right... she TOTALLY rehearsed everything and came across as cold and, well, rehearsed!!! I don't think Rory had a chance to finish them on the grill... and funny, but yeah, this was all about grilling, wasn't it? Things that make you go hmmm....
