Let me tell you I would be worried if Debbie's supplier had a good deal on dead rats - such a hugh lack of integrity!

How many times are they going to let Debbie lie to them before they send her packing? I would never watch a show of hers. Last week I screamed at the TV, this week I just sat there in shock. I don't care if she cooked better than Michael or Jamika, from a moral stand point she should have been sent packing. I'm a Melissa fan. I want recipes I can make at home.

I was SOOOOO glad to see them call Debbie or her thrice-told story of the capers. I felt bad for Jamika, but she really just couldn't get past the stressed-out look. Melissa did a great job of actually altering her actions when faced with the unexpected. After directing plays for 15 years, I know there are some people who may understand what you tell them but seem completely incapable of actually changing to give you what you ask for - Jamika appears to be one of those. It's a tough thing to do, but I'm bummed she couldn't pull it off (then Debbie would have been booted for sure).

I think it will end up being between Jeffrey and Melissa. I am so hoping that Melissa wins. She is the most believable to me. Debbie can go next week; I'm disappointed that she wasn't booted this week. I know I wouldnt watch her if she got her own show.

I just don't like Debbie. She's a liar and never takes responsibility for anything. I am pulling for Jeffrey since Jameka is gone.

I like Melissa or Jeffrey. Melissa's show might be better though. Debbie should have been gone a long time ago. She is sneaky and a little creepy!

I was happy to see that Melissa finally figured out HOW to do what they have been asking. I think that Jeffrey probably is the best cook, but "Zen-like" is not entertaining to watch. I can't stand Debbie - yes, she thinks fast on her feet but her total lack of integrity cancels out - for me - anything else that she might do

I think they feel like they have to keep Debbie (at least this far along) because they never can fault her cooking...but her ethics are shady and I still think that she doesn't win because they've shown too many ugly things for the viewers to vote for her for the win...does that mean she makes it to final 2 to insure that the other player wins? Or is this her final week? She just doesn't "get" that she continuously does shady things, does she? I would be happy with either a Jeffrey or Melissa win...I think Jeffrey has a lot of natural charm and Melissa's position as a SAHM turned television host would appeal to a lot of women.

I know Melissa and Jeffrey will be in the F2. This week, it would either be Jamika or Debbie going home, and since Jamika really screwed herself, there was no point in keeping her. Debbie's lies will bite her in the butt next week and she'll be gone. I hope Melissa wins. I will never watch Jeffrey's show. He also needs to rethink the "without borders" thing, since I'm very familiar with Doctors Without Borders and there may be some issues with that. And anyway Bobby is right... what borderS? He only does do one! I think Bob Tushman finally identified for me why I don't like Jeffrey... it's that zen thing. There's no personality, no emotion, nothing. Zip zilch nada. He bores me to tears. He may cook delicious food but his personality bores me. And I have to laugh because they dis Melissa about frenetic all the time and yet if you looked up that word in the dictionary, you'd see a picture of Rachel Ray. And Roxi, I think Debbie knows exactly what she's done. She's not stupid. She actually caught herself out in her own lie last night. Twice.

Okay, I can see that...but although she is smart enough to catch herself she's not smart enough to stop herself from doing it! I think she thinks that she is always right and she gets in her head what she is going to do and then she gets tunnel vision...and forgets anything else...helping other people plate their food...buying ingredients for other people...using the ingredients she is given in a dish...can we dare say that her ego is even larger than her talent? And oh by the way, did you happen to know that she's KOREAN?

I started out being a fan of Debbie's (it's the name, after all). But after seeing how she lies and throws people under the bus every week, and then cries when she gets caught and whines about her "integrity" being questioned, well I'm just over her. At this point Melissa is our favorite. I think she's very relatable as a SAHM. I would watch her show.

NO! I did NOT KNOW that Debbie is KOREAN! <gasp!> I have absolutely no relationship with a SAHM, but I like Melissa. I like the food she makes (I tend to be a bit of a purist, too), and when she dials down her personality, I like that, too. But... Debbie is KOREAN???? NO WAY!!!!

AND . . . did you know she was raised in the South??? (Shocking, I know.) I also like that Melissa was the only one who thought of the vegetarians when they had to prepare a couple of the meals for public consumption.

wait - Debbie is Korean? are you sure? hmmm I like that Debbie is a "cook" not a chef - I also dont have a problem with Jeffery - but I do hate that they have to "brand" themselves - I am so over Debbie for all the reasons stated - but I was over her from show 1~~

This show really has been somewhat predictable this season except for the winner. It has really been obvious every show who was going home. I think it has been obvious for awhile that Jeff and Melissa would be the final 2. I don't think it is so obvious who will win. My gut tells me it will be Melissa by the way it is edited (the whole coming out of her shell thing) but it could be either, I like them both.

Stacey, I'm not so sure it was obvious. Both Jamika and Debbie have been judge faves from the beginning. And while *I* never really saw what they did in either of them (same for Michael), unless someone did something really stoopid, I'm not sure it was always obvious. For example, last week the obvious choice to me was Debbie (for not being a team player) or Jeffrey (for letting Debbie have control and then not ensuring she did her part).

I haven't been watching the show so I'm curious. Why are some people so shocked that Debbie is Korean? What difference does it make?

I think it's a joke because she says it over and over again. And over and over again. Even the judges have told her they are a bit tired of hearing it.

Oh, it is TOTALLY a joke! The judges even called her out on it last week or the week before. Every time she is supposed to tell a story she says the same thing "I'm Korean, but I cook southern." So every single week, we hear Debbie say "I'm Korean." So naturally, we are all shocked to learn that Debbie is... <gasp!> Korean!

even though i find it annoying too, last year the judges constantly beat up the contestants for not talking about their cooking 'point of view' and about their show.

I totally agree with most of the continuing comments about Debbie. As I've said before, the first episode and the shopping incident turned me off from her almost immediately. Don't care for her actions at all. Doesn't she have a catering business? I told my mother that and she said, "Could you imagine getting food from her with the way she lies? Who knows what she would really use and yet tell you something different and would she charge you the right amount for it?" LOL I just voted in the elimination poll on The Food Network website. You can vote once a day. Looks like other people must have similar feelings. Right now Debbie is in the lead with 71% to be the next eliminated. Hope Food Network pays some attention to these polls. Here's the link in case anyone wants to vote. You have a chance to win prizes also if you do. http://www.foodnetwork.com/the-next-food-network-star-fan-vote-enter/package/index.html
