BTW, if you have "On Demand" on your digital cable, and you have something called FreeZone, there's some additional footage that Food Network shows. The first two elims actually had some interesting comments from the judges that had been cut for the actual show.

Thomas and Colombe ... Thomas was really home sick and it showed. Colombe was told by the panel that they couldn't see her as a 'food expert'.

Colombe for the challenge to create food for a b-ball game, made nachos .. but used bought chips and cheese sauce from a jar "so [she] could really focus on the salsa." With Josh making his own 3 cheese sauce, the jar stuff looked nasty. She did about half as much work as the others, and it showed. It was definitely time for her to leave.

Yuck! Jar stuff IS nasty! I thought she was really beautiful and the camera loved her, and I liked her vegetarian organic take on things. But ack! Jarred cheese sauce? Bleah! I was wondering about Tommy. He didn't seem to really have his whole heart into this. But, honestly, I would've MUCH preferred Rory went home before Colombe. I dunno what it is. I dunno if I'm slightly biased against her knowing she's already been on one reality show and is now on another (and y'all know what I think of that type of person!). Something about her just bugs me. And I know for danged sure that I would NEVER watch any Food Network show with her as host. Rory would rank right up there with Rachel Ray, Emeril, and Sandra Lee... I'll practically break a leg to get to the remote to change the channel!

I think what bothers me the most about Rory is that she comes across thinking she is much better than everyone else. That's just my take on it.

Arrgh! Rory will never leave. I keep cringing! And she was not only ON another show, she won it, partly by striking up a romance with a local guy. Now she's flaunting her boobs. And yeah, they keep letting her narrate, way too much. I keep being fascinated that she seems to have too many teeth for her mouth or something.

I was sooooo happy to see Colombe go home! ACK! She was on my last nerve! After being told to try to keep the door closed because foods were cooking she walked away leaving it open!!! Rory had to close it behind her. And using jar cheese and bagged chips??? Give me a break!! Salsa ain't that hard to make!

Well, FN got this one right. Tommy is a nice guy but he was the least trained of all the contestants, and it showed. His food was usually a little off, and he showed why even if you know food it doesn't mean you can talk about it on tv. Colombe was probably the next least talented. I like her ideas about natural and all that, but she just came across as a "hippie" who has grandiose ideas but doesn't know what to do with them. Her food always seemed lacking, and the only thing that had kept her this far was that the judges kept saying "the camera loves" her...in other words, they found her attractive. I never found her attractive, and her "yelling" into the camera during the chocolate challenge was the start of the fall for her. I can't believe she used jar cheese! I mean, buy the jar as well as fresh, and have the jar ready in case time runs out, but at least TRY to make it fresh. JAG really showed her up there. Also, I can't believe that Colombe would have just tossed out the bag without asking if it was anyone else's stuff. She is really ditzy. Must have been from taking all those hockey pucks to her head during the filming of Mighty Ducks 2 & 3, hehe. And maybe it was the editing, but when they were going to announce the winner of the chocolate challenge, Amy had that smug look on her face like she thought it would be her. She didn't even finish her presentation, so if that shot wasn't force edited, then she really has an ego issue. I'm glad Jag and Adrien won. I think if Adrien cooked as well as Jag, he'd walk away with it...or if Jag was as personable as Adrien, same thing. Jag's personality can improve (or be faked) but Adrien really has to step up his game. He may have won the challenge, his idea was just perfect for the game "keep it simple stupid" really applied to this challenge, but it was still a simple dish and he still hasn't shown a real flair for food like Amy, Jag and Michael seem to have. And while I don't mind seeing Rory's cleavage, her gums and chompers block out the view.

I was sorry to see Tommy go - nice big, warm, fuzzy guy who knew a thing or two about food. Now Columbe on the other hand was a welcome relief! Either she KNEW that bag belonged to some other chef in the challenge - ketchup and mustard for a ballpark challenge! - or she is too dumb to be interesting or entertaining! I guess ditsy just doesn't do it for me -

I couldn't agree more. I'm glad Columbe is gone. I can't believe she lasted this long. I think Tommy wanted to go home. He was way too homesick, poor big ol lug. I was scared for Paul. He's my favorite, then JAG, then Salmon. I don't like either of the girls left and I was lmao at the previews of Paul saying he needed to get a guy eliminated.

Ack! When did Sunday night become such a good TV night?! Forgot about this completely, between The 4400, Dead Zone, and Army Wives.

Seamonkey, I agree with everything you said. How can they let her be on TV with those teeth/gums? She's thinks she's still in Vega, saying "Vote for Me"...Sheesh! So tacky to wear a low-cut top. She acts so coarse and thinks she's so cute. Ugh! None of her food has been worthy of having her own cooking show. She is just going to be a reality junkie. I can see it now. Look how fast she'll dump the people of Vega to get on TV. Did she actually lie to the judge about the kitchen towel on fire? I thought she said "No" and they showed the footage of the towel on fire, with her saying "Another Rory thing..fire in the kitchen." Wait until July 15th, Prisoner6. There are 2 new shows coming on Lifetime that look somewhat promising, so Lifetime will have 3 hours of shows, including Army Wives.

I thought she lied about the latest kitchen fiasco, too, Cricket. I thought she definitely said "no" when asked. I'm just not feeling Rory at all... I dunno if it's her smugness, or the reality tv junkie aspect, or her looks (and yeah, she thinks she's all that and I don't think she's really even cute -- all she has is cleavage, big whoop!). Colombe's food, in the beginning was good. The judges even agreed. But oh my... jarred cheese sauce? Bagged chips? Disgusting! I loved Adrien's bites, although I wouldn't have eaten 'em. But he thought outside the box, provided non-standard stadium fare that was easy to eat. I dunno if I agree with Amy about her quesadillas. Not everyone here in San Diego is gonna think goat cheese quesadillas are awesome. We have a lot of regular folks here, many who don't know what goat cheese is. I also think her arrogance is a wee bit offputting. I do think she thought she won the chocolate challenge, and that look (smug? yup!) was so inappropriate. Besides the fact that I'm so over her flaunting the French culinary training. Honestly, Julia Child could get away with it. Amy can't. (I just can't get behind my hometown contestant this year, dang it!) I'm still on the fence about JAG. I think he was more personable this time, but I'm pretty sure his intensity would get old fast. And Paul? Good lord, he's a train wreck waiting to happen. They TELL him not to spin outta control, and what does he do? He spins outta the room faster 'n the Tasmanian Devil. Ack!

I think I agree with everything Costa said! Honestly, at the stadium I just wanted someone to tell Rory to "put those things away". Don't get me wrong, I like cleavage as much as the next girl ;) but that is NOT what you watch Food Network for. I liked Tommy, but sad Tommy was just...well...sad. Its strange...the judges seem to like Rory so much, but don't seem keen on Michael. And I'm just the opposite. I think I might actually watch a Michael show (I've found some of his food tips interesting), but I would never watch a Rory show. I really like Adrien and I hope he steps up his food a bit. I like Paul, but I don't know if he even can tone it down. I think its nervous energy that he can't control.

I agree Cdbga... I think I'd watch a Michael Salmon show (as long as he does NOT say "like the fish! <grin>). I would watch an Adrien show just cause I do think he's adorable and he is warm and inviting (and there are far too warm and inviting me on Food Network!) Paul reminds me too much of the hyper one of the Party Hearty Boys (the Season 1 winners). He's too hyper and he makes ME nervous! Really, of those left, Adrien and Michael are the only two I'd probably definitely watch. Of those left, JAG and Rory are two I'd definitely NOT watch. Paul and Amy? If they happened to be on and nothing else was on TV, I'd watch them. Kinda like Guy Fieri (he cooks too much with meat and booze and although I find him entertaining, he's too much the guy's guy for me, no pun intended). Anyone else kinda flabbergasted at the dual elim last night? All I could think was yikes! This season is gonna be a fast one! There are only six chefs left. Almost half are now gone!

Seriously, we've had 3 eps and 2 have had double eliminations? Seems like they were trying to make it seem surprising that they were eliminating 2, but at this point, it'd be more surprising if they only eliminated one person!

I am really surprised that this thread doesn't have a lot more commenting folks in it! I am a MAJOR foodie, and I LOVE this show. It is truly about FOOD and its preparation and presentation as well as the personality factors which give an added dimension to the food! Looking forward to the episode tonight! DON'T like Rory -

Actually, I think Top Chef is more about the food. This show is more about finding the next Food Network "personality". And there are far too many "personalities" on that network that I could do without. I like this show, but much prefer Top Chef. Where the contestants have some real chef chops.

Exactly, Costacat, which is why Rory is still there unfortunately. They keep saying they like her personality. You can't fake good cooking. You have to know how to cook to host one of these shows.

Yeah. I'm definitely on the Dislike Rory bandwagon these days. I really don't think she's got the cooking skills and her personality is right up there with those I dislike most (cough...Rachel...cough). I'd really like to see Adrian on a show. Since he's already got a food show background, I think he's got more cred than some of the others. And a reality show contestant junkie does not give cred!
