I like watching Robert Irvine work. I wouldn't want him riding up my tailpipe while I was trying to prepare a competition piece on Food Network stars, though.

I love Robert Irvine. I'm glad they brought him back for Dinner Impossible. The other chef wasn't doing it for me.

Well, I know who I am hoping will leave tonight, and she hasn't even heated up a pan yet!

LOL. I think I'll care more later as a few start developing and showing a bit of potential. But yeah, I'm hoping my doorstep will be darkened for the last time by one particular personality.

I love Ina's soothing voice and her way of presenting the recipe... I have to DVR Ina's show, because I can NOT for the life of me stay awake while she's on. Both Ina's and Michelle Duggar's (45 and Counting, or whatever the number is now) voices are better for me than any sleeping pill in the world! It's not from boredom or anything, I'm just soothed by their voices or something. Omg, I have girl voice crushes! Gah!

Lol, Huk, it's probably up to 46 by now... oops here pops 47! Gee, that sounded snarky and I love the Duggars! I also am lulled by Ina and Michellle's voices. Two ladies I'd love to have as friends. I love Robert Irvine too though, and I think it's because he is so... Cocky? Snarky? Unusual for me but then much of the time I cook like him- 90 miles an hour and get the he!! out of my way.

Ha ha ha, I could never have Ina or Michelle as a friend. Imagine going to the movies or something with them... "o.k., I'll drive Ina!" Ina replies, "Turn right here, Lori" (then I'd doze off from her voice and crash).

GAL - I am betting we have the same gal in our "bouncer" sights! SG - You've got mail! I love Ina, but I have gotten the most really usable suggestions for flavor combinations and quick preps from Rachel Ray. I think she has gone a long way toward taking the scariness out of cooking for many novices, and she promotes the idea of changing things up to make them your own. As a former teacher, I really respect both of this characteristics. However, I CANNOT stand her laugh!!

Tag, TN, you're it! Now you have mail! I like Rachel Ray too but I know she annoys a lot of people. I've learned a lot from her, and one of them is to not be afraid to switch things up while at the same time giving some good ideas on how to do just that. Her laugh doesn't bother me but yummO is wearing a bit thin.

I'm not an Ina fan. I do like her voice (and Michelle Duggar's). I like Ina ok, but on her show, to me, she comes across as every single thing she buys is so much better than everything else and it's all so expensive. Like the msg is that more expensive = better. I don't like that msg. She also does things that kind of annoy me like having a friend over and then going shopping w/o the friend to make food for the friend and then the friend goes shopping for Ina and blah blah blah...and of course all they buy is SO great etc...annoying. I love Rachael Ray, but I can see where she would annoy some. Dinner Impossible is such a great show. I've only seen it a couple times w/o Irvine. Was Michael Simon the other DI Chef? It amazes me that Irvine can make SO many different dishes every mission. I had to look and see what thread I am in. So I guess I should get OT. I am looking forward to tonight's show.

Here is Dzintra's bio from the Food Network - she's actually has some respectable credentials as a chef: Dzintra Dzenis

Guy's having a hard time concealing his dislike for most of these folks LOL. Dzintra twirling down the red carpet didn't quite do it for him. Paul is really struggling to get himself over with the judges and it just isn't working. He might actually be more in danger of going home tonight than Dzintra. His snotty comments about being a trained chef paired with a "home cook" (which Serena is) were a bit of a turnoff.

Oh, and Serena doesn't like Paul anymore than that Paul likes Serena.

Oh dear. Aria and Dzintra were paired, and they really don't get along. Aria jumped right in when the judges showed up and talked so much that Dzintra literally shushed her in front of the judges. Dzintra then went on to explain how she made her own dish taste less like a hairball. The judges just stood there looking gobsmacked. OMG and ROFL.

How many times can they feature Serena talking about how she's afraid her foot is broken. Jeez.

Thank goodness, Dzintra is leaving, she was way to wacky for me and I couldn't figure out if she even knew how to cook.

I am sure Dzintra can cook, but her personality for a show on the food network was never going to mesh. She always knew the wrong thing to say. I think she may have done well on Top Chef. Anyone catch the commercial for next week? Three chefs judging. Johnathan Waxman, Susan Feniger, and it went by so fast I missed the third one.

I haven't watched the show before this year, and maybe it's always like this, but they seem to have a highly dysfunctional group of contestants here. Snotty, backstabbing, snarky, desperate, condescending, insulting. I didn't care for Aria or Serena last night, and Aarti is even starting to bug. Guy had a "what the hell?" look on his face for three quarters of the night, and that pretty much summed up this group from my point of view. Glad Dzintra's gone for sure the shushing thing was unbelievable. Loved Paul getting jackslapped by Guy, I was amazed to hear that he actually had been smack talking in front of them about the trained chef/home cook thing. Guy put him very firmly in his place, which is pretty much at the bottom of the pile right now.

I can understand the shushing from Dzintra.Ive been in that same position-Aria jumping right in talking first and going on and on about her dish that by the time they get to Dzintra the judges will be ready to move on to the nxt set of contestants.She wanted to be heard too. I think Serena was alittle cranky because her foot hurt.
