Stay at home moms usually stay at home, because well...they have to..

She has 4 young ones. I know that childcare costs are more than what ppl earn, so it actually more cost effective to stay at home.

Didn't Melissa mention something about a nanny raising her in that same sound bite about Spanish being her first language. For some reason I got the
impression that she came from money. Either way I can't stand the frenetic twit.

That is another reason she should bother me. And she probably raises her own kids because she was raised by a nanny. All of that would normally make me like
her less... and this time I find it causing me to like her more.

She said she didn't learn english till she was three because her nanny was hispanic.

Remember Lisa Garza looking sleek, sexay and stylish? Where are the beautiful basics now? All I see are bloated faces and chemical peels.

Does anyone else think this is the best Food Network Star so far? As in, the most entertaining. I even got my hubby hooked on it. Melissa is going all the
way. Unless they decide they haven't represented the Asians enough. Remember, there was a lot of complaining about how white the Food Network had gotten
and suddenly old whats his name wins last season, and they have the happy black couple show now also. (That show is soooo irritating, BTW). Anyway, if they
needed an Asian host, I wish they would have gotten someone more attractive. That Margaret Cho moonface Korean fat girl look kind of kills my appetite. That
was really mean, I'm sorry. But she's gross. If you want to be a TV star, you need to be better looking. I can't even watch Mario Batalli
anymore, I feel he's going to sweat in the food and keel over with a heart attack.
Anyway, great season. Melissa is a lock, I think they want a cross between Sandra Lee and Rachel Ray. Mommy will show you how to make a white sauce now! |

"Momma will show you how to make white sauce now!" - Nope. Too easy.

Melissa is a lock, I think they want a cross between Sandra Lee and Rachel Ray. Mommy will show you how to make a white sauce now! That is probably right. If indeed this is the end result of this show, I won't be watching. I don't need some Mom talking as if the audience was a child in need of remedial cooking tips. I don't think she has the originality to sustain a show. Debbie, may not be the most attractive contestant yet, but I find myself more drawn to her flavor profile. Jeffrey may be boring, but he is more creative. Having said that, I think Debbie will be the next to go, Credibility > Skills. The battle between Jeffrey and Melissa will be interesting as Jeff has won the most challenges vs Melissa the underdog. My gut tells me in the end Jeff will win, by producing better dishes under adversity. |

Is anyone else annoyed by how they give Melissa a tongue bath only to reward Jeffrey the winner of the challenge then fool us into thinking Debbie is going
home only to have her stay.
Editing hate. |

Tuchman's not gonna stand for Debbie. He's the boss and doesn't like liars.

Debbie could have been a likeable character/villain if she could have owned her subterfuge as part of the competition. But she's all coy and shit.

On Guy's show (D,D&D), does he ever even COOK anything? In terms of on-camera watchability, Debbie>Jeffrey>Melissa>>>>Jamika>>>>>>>>Michael. So far, the eliminations have worked for me. Let's hope that continues. |

I agree that Melissa will probably win, because the FN seems to have decided that they must hire the most annoyingly perky sorts of people in an effort to re-create the Rachael Ray phenomenon. I'm not saying Melissa isn't good or doesn't know what she's doing. I just personally find her insufferable. I would rather watch Jeffrey a thousand times over. |
