Oh you guys are EVIL!

So what's happened tonight? What was the challenge? Who was the winner? Who was the worst? Did Rory go home? Pretty please, tell me she did! :-)

No, Costa, we may never be rid of Rory!

Tonight's challenges:
1. Make a meal using the contents of an MRE for ingredients (missed the actual instructions on the challenge).

2. Make comfort food for soldiers - meat loaf, pot pie or lasagna. They were divided into 3 teams of 2. I guess Paul had won the 1st challenge, so he got to pick his partner. He picked Jag. He also got first choice of the main course and got to assign the other two. Paul/Jag chose Meat Loaf. Rory/Amy got lasagna. Adrien/Michael got pot pie (because Paul thought it would be the most challenging and wanted one of the eliminated). Each team also had to do a 3-minute presentation of their meal. The soldiers filled out comment cards to score the meals/presentations. The favorites/winners were Paul/Jag. While Rory/Amy's food didn't get great marks (the judges pretty much hated the lasagna and garlic bread), their presentation skills kept them safe. So, it came down to Adrien and Michael, because their presentation was lacking (even though their food was better). And Michael went home. Which, to me, was preferable to Adrien leaving...but why why why why why couldn't it have been Rory?

once again blonde, big boob, bimbo act wins over the food .... unfreakingbelievable.

They went to Fort Dix. 1st challenge was making a MRE edible. Paul won the challenge and was able to pick his partner and the other teams for the next challenge, which was to make the troops favorite comfort foods, remind them of home. He picked Jag for his partner and paired the girls and the other two guys. He also got to pick their meal. He and Jag had meatloaf, the girls lasagna and the guys pot pie. With 30 minutes left, Jag and Paul realize their oven does not work, Jag melts down, but decides to deep fry the meatloaf. They were also judged on their presentation of their food to the troops. Jag and Paul had the best presentation (it really was kind of cute) and the meatloaf was chosen as the favorite food. So they were safe. Michael and Adrian had the 2nd favorite food, but their presentation was pretty bad, the girls had the worst food, but Rory wore this tight t-shirt and during the presentation, she stood up there with her boobs poked way out with her phony smile playing the bimbo role. For some reason, the judges decided the presentation was more important than the food, so the girls were safe. Between Adrian and Michael, the judges chose Adrian to stay.

Oh gah! Michael, though, is better than Adrien going. But I kinda liked him and would've liked to see him around a bit longer.

Why did Paul want one of them eliminated? Because he thinks they are his biggest comnpetition or because he doesn't like 'em? I'm not a Paul fan, and could easily see him wanting to get rid of all the male competitors thinking he'd stand a better chance at winning against the girls.

Funny, I was about to say I'm fairly certain I'd never watch Rory or Amy, and then started thinking and realized I'd never watch Jag or Paul either. So that left Michael and Adrien as the only two I *would* watch if they had their own Food Network show. And dang, one of 'em went home.

<sigh>

We will never be rid of Rory. You're right, dang it!

Tight shirt was preferable to the low-cut one, though!

But, seriously, do you watch a Food show just for presentation skills or do you want to learn how to cook food you want to eat? Sure the presentation was bad, but it was more that they seemed out of sync with each other, I think. If they'd been individual presentations, I bet each of them would have done better.

Did I not call this earlier? This show is less about the food and more about "who's gonna be on TV." And if Rory is pulling the blonde bimbo act again, I am definitely NOT liking her and will boycott ANYTHING that she's on! (Once this show is over.)

Gag! Seriously. She'll put women back into the 1950's!

Cd, I watch Food Network to get ideas for food that I want to cook. I will not watch certain "chefs" because I don't like their personalities. Doesn't matter what kind of food they prepare, how they prepare it, how they present. (Rachel Ray's incessant and loud chatter drives me nuts, not to mention her loud giggle.)

So... I think the food is more important. Obviously, the producers think otherwise. Maybe they should start paying attention to what some of us want now. Back when Food Network was just getting it's legs, personalities made us want to tune in. Now, more and more of us are quite sophisticated, and want to learn more about food and less about what EVOO means!

We do still get to vote on the winner, right? So, if Rory does make it to the finals, we can at least vote for whoever-isn't-Rory for the win. 'Cause I'd take anyone else over her. And if she does win it, at least we have the option of not watching her show. EVER.

Costa, I believe Paul just said he wanted to get rid of a man...that there were too many men still in the competition. I don't remember him saying anything that indicated it was for personal reasons or that he wanted Michael or Adrien specifically, just that he wanted a male gone. So, you are probably correct that he thinks he has a better chance competing against the women (he may have even said so, but I wasn't paying very close attention during a lot of the show!).

Hmm... that's what I thought. Get rid of all the men and he'd have a better chance. Yuck. Nice guy!

Count me in on the bandwagon for the ABR campaign!
I watch the food shows for the recipes more than anything else...I know I would not be interested in watching a Rory Show, as she hasn't shown that she really can cook, just look sexy and that is a matter of taste, I personally don't think she is but I guess men do, go figure......

i watch for recipes. i happen to like RR's personality. The camera work on Giada's show gets to me sometimes, plus she tells you how to make everything in the first 5 minutes of the show, so i usually just watch that.
someone i cannot stand is Nigella Lawson and her sensual food!

Okay, I wanted to do something much better, but it is wayyy past my bedtime and graphics aren't my specialty...

Sometime I'd like to turn it into a campaign button!

Well, I can sure tell you I'll never go on TV. Dang, ya'll are a rough crowd! I don't dislike any of them and if I watched a show only to learn to cook I could read a book to do that. I think Jag has a short fuse but he is pretty good in the kitchen. I liked Michael because he seemed to be a pretty good cook and never got too excited. Rory can't help how she looks so I'm certainly not going to fault her for that. Paul seems to be a nice guy, just gets a little flustered. The rest are kind of background to me. Just my
