I’ve attempted this before but without much success…
Either I didn’t use enough oil or I had my over too hot. I’ll try this style later this week, thanks Adam!

The Food Network Is just finishing up the seasons edition of the “Next Food Network Star” and I really hate to say it but… this year was much less enjoyable that last years show. The season just seemed “flat” and lacked luster. Maybe it’s just me but there seemed to be less shows this season and the contestants appeared to just be humdrum.

Next Food Network Star, Competition for Cooking Show, Videos and Finalist Profiles: TV

The competition has boiled down to two finalists: Amy and Rory.

Until Tuesday July 17 at 9am/8c, you can vote once a day online and again with your cell phone.

Well here it is… down to the virtual wire… it was down to 2 people and then one of them dropped out, so the runner up was asked to return; the players…

Amy here did ok in my humble opinion during the comp. She had some issues about being away from her family and did a bit of whining, well to be honest… she whined and cried and tried to suck up more pity than anyone could stand, probably should have gone home after the second or third week… but then thats just me. Half the time I wanted to yell at the tv “There isn’t any crying on Food Network Star!! But then again whom am I to complain… lol

Jag here was also ok, but I had some points that I did and didn’t like about him. Good points are; he isn’t the same ol’thing and he seems to have the ability (if he calmed down) to present some ideas of a different (at least for me) style of cooking. He was on of the finalist but had to retract do to some “discrepancies” he had made in his application when he joined the contest. Part of the things I disliked about him was how he kept pushing the nickname he wanted to use “jag”. It was as if to make a mark as in Pirates of the Caribbean and the pirate Jack Sparrow… “But you have heard of me…”

Rory is the other finalist for the comp. She is also ok… she pushes the program she wants to have on the Food Network, which is good, but I really didn’t see any real flair with her cooking. Maybe she’ll push that if she does win. For me, I don’t really want to see a gourmet next door but something I can make myself, without spending 20 dollars for materials.

Notice how the finalist are all just “ok”? The season could have been so much better but fell down on (at least) my expectations. Previous episodes (last year) showed the different Network personalities work with the contestants more and the mistakes of the up and coming stars. Maybe there were more commercials this year so there was less air time for the actual show…?
