Dzintra had already made jealous-sounding remarks about Aria to the camera before the judges even arrived at the table. What a bitter Betty!

Dzintra would never have connected with the FN audience, so it was way past time for her to go.

Paul should be next to go. His condescending comments just totally turned me off. I don't care if he wins, I would never watch his show after having watched him the last two episodes.

I liked Serena but now she's starting to bug me. If she doesn't start to talk more slowly, she's outta there.

I'm still loving Aarti and Aria. And not so much loving any of the men.

The gal that won last time started off as a speed-talker, but listened to what the judges said and was able to edit herself down and win.

Have the judges made that specific criticism to Serena? Maybe I missed it -

Yes, the judges have told Serena that she needs to edit herself and speak slower. And they told Aria that she needs to speak faster...LOL!

I can't stand Brianna. She just seems like such a snoot! Team Sexy my you know what! It's a good thing she can cook because so far her personality has been very off-putting. I wouldn't watch her show just because I don't like her.

I cant stand Guy Fierie - WTH>? OK I will say I liked him during his season on NFS - but he's over exposed and he just loves himself too much - or something that annoys me! So I did not appreciate his snarky looks on that red carpet - and his superiority complex on that is just so small compared to what its REALLY like...

but Dzintra - it was hard watching her implode - I really wanted to like her - she just kept forgetting to show a good side.... no poisonous mushshrooms used, and hairball? ROFLOL I would've like to see what she would've done one more week! (but it was hard enough watching her this long!)

Fieri and Flay are both WAY over exposed (and I say this even though I like them both), and Giada's appearance on NFS seems forced, as if she complained they hadn't given her enough exposure and she wanted some extra facetime. (Not saying that's what happened, but that her appearance seems to be for some reason other than she's an awesome mentor for the contestants).

And while I'm on the subject, I cannot STAND Alexandra Guarnaschelli she is so rude, condescending and humorless as a judge on Chopped. I haven't seen any of her cooking shows, nor do I want to just from what little I have seen of her. I really don't want to see her on FNS.

Once again Food Network Humor recap made me chuckle!
http://foodnetworkhumor.com/

(eta that the2nd post are pictures that may upset younger viewers or parents protecting kids from accidental pornagraphic fried foods)


:quote:It’s episode 3 of the Next Food Network Star! This week, 10 of the creepiest, least talented people on the planet continued their quest to land a temporary job at a network run by out of touch people who actually think Guy Fieri is cool.
Speaking of Guy Fieri, he was the guest judge on tonight’s episode. He rolled up wearing more tacky gold jewelry than Mr. T during the entire third season of the A-Team. And judging by the neon yellow hair and radioactive stripe of chin pubes under his lip, he may or may not have just lost a battle with a bottle of uranium.

Alex Guarnaschelli had a series where she taught people in "her" kitchen. She was condescending then, too. I'm not a fan.

I forgot about Brianna. I would NOT watch her show if she won this thing. She's not all that attractive (and honestly, people who think they are hot end up looking a lot less hot than they think they are).

The judges have told Serena each week that she needs to slow down. She knows she does, but I think her nerves just get in her way.

And Fieri. Ugh. Really, the man is more overexposed than Emeril. And I did like Fieri on his season and wanted him to win. Now I'm sorry I did!

The only place I've enjoyed Alex is on the FN show, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. She is interesting and quite personable on that show.

She also has a show, "Alex's Day Off", where she makes things in her home kitchen. She is fine on that as well. I'd say she is a woman of many, varied personalities!

Lakecat, yes Dinner Impossible is with the guy with huge arms.

I'm so glad Dzintra is gone. She is very unappealing, I would never watch her. I hope Brianna will be gone soon.

I remember when Guy Fieri made the menu for TGIF, I went once and never went back. The menu was basically beef inspired dishes and not good ones at that. I like a salad or chicken sometimes and the menu had only a couple of choices for a light dinner.

I really haven't found anyone on the show that has impressed me this season. Usualy there are one or two to really root for but not this season. They all seem to be kind of boring.

Even tho Brianna is not particularily nice,the judges always seem to love her food-hers and Ataris.

Ataris...those are games from the 80s...LOL! We have an Aarti and an Aria though.

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist!)

I don't usually watch Fieri's cooking shows because they are always heavy on the meat. He doesn't do much that I can convert to vegetarian meals.

I think the judges will figure out that Brianna is not gonna gain viewers for the network, and she won't be long for the show. They've gotten mixed reviews from her several times now, comments about her being "cold," and I think that will play into the "do we want this person to host a FN show?" Great food or not, if she's got a personality that makes people not want to watch her, she's not gonna win this thing. (And while Serena should've yelled out "behind", I thought Brianna's response to her smashing Serena's foot was darned rude.)

I also wanted to like Dzintra and she never wasted a second to say she was trained in the culinary arts. However ~ she was so frenetic I couldn't follow her! Her 'hairball' remark to the judges was not cool...

TY Bomb for the telling me the third chef. Honestly I wouldn't know him. Perhaps that is why my eyes couldn't really see him. (Okay, Okay, any excuse for my failing eyesight.

As for Guy, I didn't root for him on his season. Guy had a built in voter base since he was president of some food assoication in California at the time. I wanted the other guy. How sad that I can't remember his name. But Guy has really built his own empire in FN. Gotta give him props for that.

Guy didn't just win NFNS, he took it and ran with it. He is milking it for all that it is worth. We maybe over saturated, but enough people are still watching to keep him going.

FN gets ratings, Guy gets money. I hope Guy is banking most of it.

Dzintra lost me when she was talking about what planet she was from in the first episode. I don't like anyone who isn't from the same solar system that I live in.

Re: Serenas foot-I know they have the time constraints for the TV drama effect, but perhaps making a chef hurry while wrking with fire and knives is a bit dangerous.

In the other food comps (like Chopped) I hear "behind you" but it does seem dangerous - I imagine there is some of that in a busy restaurant line...

Chefs usually yell out "behind". Similar as to when you're riding your bike on the boardwalk and yell "left" or "right" when trying to pass an (eejit) pedestrian.
