I just set it to record, never heard of it, but why not.

LOL, Mocha, you are corrupting me.. I set that one to record too.

Luckily I watch The Sopranos and The Tudors on eastern feeds.

I like this show. There are quite a few interesting personalities. None like Guy's, but we'll see. I like JAG right now and I liked Vivien, don't particularly care for Columbe ...

Make sure you record BOTH hours! I only caught the first one on TIVO (just did record, not season pass), and was HORRIBLY disappointed when it ended in the middle of a challenge! Fortunately, I took a personal day tomorrow, so I'm staying up late to catch the re-run of the second hour tonight at midnight.

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.

Just starting to watch.. could be interesting. But I hopw Rachael Ray isn't too involved in the..

Thanks for the heads up about hour 2.. I didn't set it up for the series, wanting to check out the first ep.. but of course I want to see two.

Hey.. the one from Vega, Texas,, was she in that show where the small city in Texas voted for people and she won?? She just looks familiar to me.

Ah.. Country.. just looked up and.. yep.. Tory Rory. Didn't care for her on the other show.

Rory, not Tory.
I've never seen this series from the start, but so far it's been pretty good.
HIDDEN SPOILERS IN WHITE BELOW!!!
Highlight to read.

The first 2 gone are "ethnic." What a shock!
Although, I have to agree. Patrick was boring, and Viv had too strong of an accent (she was describing something and I couldn't tell what she said here and there) plus she didn't "pop" like some of the others. When she presented at the wedding, she didn't even really explain what her ingredients were. Oy.


End Spoilers!
At the moment, call me a homer, but I really like Adrien. I think he has a good head on his shoulders and seems like a good guy. I don't know if he has what it takes to win, but I like him. Why is Tommy there? I mean, yeah, personality but he's like a bad impression of Emeril. But his credentials, "I cook a lot for my friends." Wha-wha-what? Anyway, I'm going to be watching this, but as of right now, I don't want any of them to win. It would be nice if one of the 2 remaining "ethnic" types won, only because there is such a HUGE lack of diversity on FN right now.
And this is coming from a white guy, hehe.

Rory was the winner of CMT's "Popularity Contest" a couple of years back. The folks of Vega, Texas, voted each week on who would stay and who would leave until the winner was selected. The winner - Rory - got $50K and got to award 50K to the Vega resident of her choice. Seems she did live up to her promise that she made that helped seal the deal on her winning - that she would stay in town and open a restaurant there. She tended to rub her fellow contestants the wrong way in that show, too, but in the end came out OK. It was fun seeing her again. Almost like seeing someone I knew. I was pulling for her, I'll admit. But if she doesn't step it up, that'll change.

This version of NFNS is more Top Chef-like. Kinda cool, but I hope they start focusing more on what it takes behind the camera soon.

Right, Rory, and BLEH.. I was sure hoping she'd go home! Clearly they recruited her for her BIG (annoying) personality, but that may well be what they want for the food network. She's just rough sandpaper for me.

But, I like the show and most of the people (JAG, yeah)

The leader of the winning team seems smart and organized.

And I LOVE the feedback they give; it is very real and clear and supportive, I think.

Thanks for popping this thread at just the right time when I had a really empty Sunday night (lol, not that I didn't have stuff to do, mind you).

Rory, not so much, for me.

Yes Nick, thanks for posting about this show. There are slim pickin's right now. I don't have much time these days for any TV, but I was hoping for at least one other show than the Pirate one that I could record for my semi-occassional late night down time...

A local (San Diego) chef is on again this year... Amy's from San Diego. I actually was impressed with her leadership abilities, but absolutely hated the condescending French BS she pulled.

Seems they've really amped up the show this season. Three challenges in the first three days. Food stars right off the bat. Fancy set. Seems bigger and bolder this year! (And yeah, I hope we have to see Rachel only one time. Do NOT like that woman!)

I really liked Colombe, until she totally failed at leading the orange team.

Not at all a fan of JAG. His angry Marine vibe just totally rubs me the wrong way. I hope they didn't put him on for the patriotic fan club.

Totally did NOT like what Patrick did... not telling Tommy about the chicken broth in the veggie dish. He was willing to sabotage the wedding feast in order to sabotage a contestant? Nice guy! Not!

I kinda thought Rory was gonna go. I thought her fish was appalling as was her cake. I'm surprised they kept her over Vivien.

The rest? Not much of an impression yet.

Not surprised Patrick went home. Nor, really, Vivien. (And btw, I don't think her "ethnicity" had ANYTHING to do with it, or with Patrick's leaving!) Both of them were boring on camera and both made boring food. I know Vivien was asked to do a salad, but it was almost the same salad, just different ingredients. Bor-ring!

Wasn't into Amy at first with all that French culinary stuff, but she did know her stuff in the challenges. Don't know if she has the warmth it will take to be a TV host, though. Seems like she would have been better suited on Top Chef.

As to who I would WATCH, personality-wise, I think it would have to be Columbe and Adrien. If my local girl Nikki would smile more, I'd add her too. It will be interesting to see how things play out once they get them started in front of the cameras.

And, LOL, Sea - guess you saw "Design Remix" and my blink-and-you'll-miss-her run at stardom. My sister-in-law works in a bank branch, and Friday afternoon they had the TV tuned to HGTV. I the east coast feed of the episode came on at about 2:00 pm, and one of the customers in line yelled across the branch, "Hey Celeste - you're on TV!"

I think the second hour was a repeat of the first hour even though it said part 2.

I wish we had a streamer at the top of this thread because I don't remember most of their names.

Nope-- the second hour was a completion of the third challenge -- the wedding meal. If you only saw one hour, they hadn't even begun cooking for the wedding yet.

I noticed it was very similar to Top Chef (don't know how different this is from last year because I didn't watch last year), but since I adore Top Chef, I enjoyed this enough to watch at least another week or two. :-)

that's correct, Teach, the second hour was NOT a repeat of the first hour.

Must have been condensed into one hour here, then because I noticed it was on for the second hour and started watching then and it started with each person coming into the place with their suitcases and talking about their background and meeting Bobby Flay and the first challenge being the pot luck dinner and it ended with the elimination of Patrick? and Vivien after the wedding. Cute dog, too. LOL

Twinkie, I'm not sure how it was condensed into one hour there? It would've been the same in all time zones. Did you see three challenges? The potluck dinner, the wedding cake (most of which were disasters), and the wedding reception?

Yep. From 1am to 2am. I even have it on the dvr.

And those were some butt ugly "wedding" cakes.

That Rory needs a good slap or two upside the head! Own your mistakes, correct them if you can, and move on!!
