apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I felt badly for Shane. He's only nineteen and Bobby Flay made him cry. At least Flay seemed to connect with him by acknowledging the shared feeling that when you put food before your customer and it isn't good, its a very personal failure. His accomplishments at 19 are fantastic, but with professional chefs with years of experience in the competition, he's not likely make it.

I do not like that Lisa. She's full of herself and I haven't a clue as to what she was talking about when she goes on about deconstructing. At least she had Alton Brown and the others mystified, too. They should have sent her home first, just for being the most annoying person in the competition.

After last year's debacle with the near winner misrepresenting himself, I daresay they must have been a lot more careful about background checks. As for last year's winner, Amy was good during the competition and then her show was a yawner. I watched three episodes and gave it up.

Guy Fieri isn't bad, but I didn't discover "The Next Food Network Star" until last year.
