She prolly has never eaten SOS, either...what a sheltered life.

I absolutely don't get Nipa and why she didn't get the boot last night. Come on... sugar and cayenne? Seriously? And to call it peanut seasoning, which was obviously confusing since people didn't understand it was to season PEANUT, not include peanuts. I would've much preferred to see her go than Jeffrey (and I wasn't all that impressed with him, either).

I think Kelsey grew up watching FN, and grew up watching people like Rachel Ray (and don't EVEN get me started on her). Rachel supposedly has this perky persona (don't get me started!) and I think Kelsey has that same type of persona. While I think it would be easy to tone down, I'm not sure she's got the chops for a whole season of shows. I mean, really, how many college students watch FN?

I've never been a fan of Martha Stewart, but I thought her comment about "I don't eat that kind of food" was a bit elitist. And um, oh, yeah. She doesn't have a show on FN does she?

I'm still not a huge Lisa fan, but at least she's toned it down somewhat. I wouldn't watch her show, though, as her disappearing eyes bug the heck outta me. And I don't buy that she didn't understand the first challenge (she didn't understand she had to fill the minute? and then she couldn't think on her feet to fill it, which means to me she'd not be doing real well on a live show).

So far, I'm really like Aaron. I think he's got personality and he's got the chops. I would probably watch his show.

The others? Eh, not so much. FN used to have a series where they featured a different chef each week. I think that's where most of the rest of these folks belong. I could stand 'em for a half hour once. :-)

ETA: LMAO Nick! Yeah, I'm sure she ate stuff that was very similar and probably not nearly as tasty during her incarceration! LOL!

I couldn't figure out if Nipa took all that cayenne because she underestimated how much she would need or to prevent anyone else from buying it for his/her recipe.

Cayenne pepper and sugar? YIKES, why didn't Nipa (I always hear "nipple" when they talk to her) stop and think that her spice combo was so simple a monkey could make it? She should have hung her head when Martha Stewart came up to her. Seriously, what a lousy excuse for a product.

And ick ick double ick on Adam's behavior in front of Martha Stewart!

Shane is not going to come out of his shell, it's locked up tight with super glue.

Jeffrey needed to go, he wasn't all that like he thought he was.

Kelsey reminds me of Jessica from Big Brother, and I didn't like her either. Tone it down, you look like a putz.

Lisa is probably well enough prepared, and has the class (sort of ) to pull off a show. She's coming into her own, but like someone above said, what's with the squinty eyes? Maybe the camera lights are too bright? The clip for next week's show, shows Lisa slipping on something in the kitchen. It was good for a bunch of super slow-mo rewinds of my DVR. It made me laugh, so she can stay for the entertainment if nothing else.

Lex, I kinda thought she took it so no one else could. I mean, seriously, how could you underestimate how much cayenne you'd need? Then again, I don't think she's the brightest tool and she may really have thought she'd need it all. (The reason I think that is due to the tumeric incident, which is a very common spice as Prisoner mentioned above.)

And I do NOT see her (Nipa) winning this at all. Even if she starts to branch out, she doesn't have audience appeal, and her dishes really don't appeal much to me either.

I'm pretty sure Nipa made a comment about taking ALL the cayenne and grinned about it too in hopes that someone may need it and it then not being available. I almost expected that she's hand some over but nope she didn't. That goes along with my perception that she's not a very amiable/nice person. I know I know it's a competition but still lets play fair....I know I know fair is relative. ;)

My grandfather use to make a hard biscuit type cookie and sprinkled cayenne and sugar on top. I hadn't thought about that for years. He just took a bit of both and mixed it; he didn't need to buy it already prepared. Honestly that was the lamest concoction for sale.

Was it Aaron who wanted the cayenne? Or was it Jeffrey? I can't remember which guy it was.

It was Aaron. He wound up substituting with jalepeno or something

I would love a vegetarian show. There are lots of interesting recipes out there and to get to watch preparations would be interesting.

Just went to my first Chevy's...and loved their variety of veggie meals. I usually don't get such a choice. Ended having portobello/asparagus burrito and it was good!

Thanks Hukd! That's what I thought. And I did notice Nipa grinning about the cayenne in the store (which is why I thought it was intentional). So her little attempt at sabotage actually backfired. LOL.

There are a lot of people out there who are uninformed about vegetarians. Just last weekend I was in Colorado (surprising my mom before surgery). I went to their local store and bought up a bunch of veggies, steamed them all, and served them topped with fresh grated parmesan and garlic toast crostinis. Their neighbor stopped by while we were eating and was fascinated with the dinner. And then says (and I LOL at this)... "You must save a lot of money on groceries since you don't buy meat." Um, yeah, no. I buy organic produce when I can, I eat a lot of other protein sources that are not necessarily cheap (some nuts, per pound, are more expensive than beef). I guess if you live in the middle of ranch country and you eat steaks every night, you just don't understand how someone could be satisfied with a simple steamed vegetable dinner. (And it was awesome... fresh zucchini, yellow crook neck, corn, baby Yukon gold potatos, green beans, carrots, boiler onions, and a few other goodies I've forgotten.)

That's what I thought (that Nipa took all the cayenne to keep anyone else from buying it), but someone posted above that she underestimated how much she would need. So I was a little confused.

I deleted my episode, but I am almost positive that Nipa said that she was going to get it all so nobody else would be able to buy cayenne. When I watched it I thought it was very early in the competition to start the sabotage stuff.

LOL Hukd...you are exactly right about Kelsey reminding me of Jessica BB!

Personally I wanted to taste Aaron's bacon wrapped potatoes. And the chili cheese fries!

I just went and re-watched that scene. Nipa says:

"So I grab all the cayenne off the shelf. I grabbed more than I needed. I cleared out the store."

And sorry guys, but neither one of those potato dishes with bacon looked appetizing. At least not to me! :-)

That's what I get for watching shows when I'm half asleep...and yes, bacon cheese fries sound wonderful.

But those bacon wrapped potatoes....YUMMMMY! Even Bobby Flay mentioned that he might start serving them in his restaurant.

I'm an affirmed carnivore...what can I say?

Hukdonreality I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears nipple. Drives me to distraction.

I want bacon wrapped potatoes for dinner.

I think I have "nipply envy" since I no longer have any (mastectomies), lol!

I have a friend who has a double masectomy but had (the term escapes me...I keep wanting to say resurrection but I know that's not right...you know what I mean!)...she now officially gets to tell people she has two tattoos. Since she's a very conservative Baptist professional church lady it really makes people freak out when she says it.

What is that term?

I like resurrection! Yes, it's reconstructive surgery. I had implants put in during the same surgery as my mastectomies (a 7 1/2 hour surgery!), but rejected them within 6 months (I have spina bifida occulta and some latex allergies that come along with that). My plastic surgeon suggested that I could have the tattoos, but I was sort of icked out by the thought. Good thing I never had them. After they removed the implants, my "nipas" would be all wrinkly and stuff.

I think Costa should try out for a veggie show on Food Star. She is beautiful and she comes up with some great ideas for vegetarians. I've copied several of her ideas. I'm the vegetarian with the pot of pinto beans on the back of the stove. I do load them up with garlic and onions tho!!
