... and I don't know if y'all knew this, but Debbie likes to cook with a lot of "Asian" seasonings, because she is Korean.

You know, that's what gets me too. She just conflates "Asian" as if Korean food had anything to do with Thai, or Japanese, or Vietnamese. It just boggles my mind.

Conflates? Never heard that word before. Had to go look it up on Dictionary.com: –verb (used with object), -flat⋅ed, -flat⋅ing. to fuse into one entity; merge: to conflate dissenting voices into one protest.

Kc thanks for the link - it says that the judges have decided - so that would seem that the whole season is in the can? Or is it live/ (Thanks BabyJ for that information - Tish thanks for expanding my vocabulary... ITA with Asian... <shakes head> )

If you read the voting site fully it says the judges already voted out Jameka. You are voting on who you WISH had been voted out last night.

I guess by obvious I mean that every episode by half way through the show myself and anyone watching in my family has said who was going home and we have been right. In the last 5 shows prior to watching them we have said what order they are all going home and have been right so far. Now, we could just have been lucky of course, but it just has seemed obvious to us. I think that it is subtle changes in editing, they show extreme love for someone and then the next show they seem to show a slightly different light. We have been right so far on all of them; very clear who the final 2 will be but not as clear on the winner is all.

Don't we vote on the winner? Or at least it was like that originally, wasn't it?

I don't think we vote on the winner for food network, but we do for the design star at HGTV.

I think (not 100% sure) that this year we don't get to vote on the winner of Design Star. We do get vote on someone having web show though that didn't win. I think that is how I understood it, I didn't get to see the full show last night.

Actually, Tish, you've got a point. She claims to do Korean cooking, but so far the only thing I've heard her say (and not seen her do!) is that she fries chicken and serves it with kimchee. But tossing fish sauce or soy sauce on a disk does not a Korean dish make. When I think of Korean cooking, I think of hot pot and Korean barbeque... or noodle dishes that are spicy and sweet. She even did something with daikon didn't she? Which is largely known as a Japanese vegetable (but does have a Korean name, mu). At any rate, I'm totally over her. I wanted to like her after the first episode, but she pulled the same unethical crap again later on, and there is NO WAY I'll ever watch any show she's on. And last season, we did NOT vote on the winner. I think the last season we voted was when Amy won, and you all know how well THAT went over. Yup, just checked wikipedia, and last season when Aaron won was when someone at the network accidentally posted the winner's vid three days early. Remember that lovely fiasco? LOL!

According to that link it says that you can vote once a day until August 4th. Maybe it's just to enter your name in the drawing for the prizes they're giving away then.

I think it's voting just for this period though (for who you thought should go). It's not voting for who should win. And because you had to fill in all that personal information (which is b-s, all you need to give them is an email address to contact you by if you win), I decided not to vote.

No, I understand that it's not voting for the winner. It just says who you wanted to go next and obviously Jamika's already gone!

Last night on Top Chef Masters each chef was allowed to select the mystery ingredients to go in the basket of one of his oppponents. Being the classy guys they are, each picked and packed harmonious ingredients for the other. I entertained myself while walking at the mall today by imagining what Debbie would pack for one of her opponents. My final selection was: lime Jello, fish sauce (she is Korean, you know,) and over-ripe tomatoes. Apologies for repeating to those who read both threads!

I have to admit, even though I don't like any of them especially, that I really enjoyed these three tonight. I think I would have totally freaked out when I saw that tasting table.

I would have never been able to speak!! It was good to see Emeril there. I had gotten the impression he was no longer associated with FN.
