The Next Food Network Star Ep 4

This episode was the best this season thus far. I was surprised and a bit saddened to see Tedd go this week. I think it had a lot to do with last week's drama. His food was better [cooked] than Katie's on the burger challenge. True, he froze during his presentation on the Intrepid but I felt so bad for him. While he was fumbling for the right words and looking at his palm, I was cheering for him.

Jamika. Wow. Definitely not a hit on the Intrepid. I guess she cannot be stellar every week. It was sad to see how awful her food was received. Saving grace this week had to have been her presentation on the Intrepid. I am still rooting for her overall.

I was lukewarm about Jeffrey this week. I felt bad that he received the oddest combo of ingredients for the main challenge. Blueberries and lobster? Plus, he had a great disadvantage having to deal with the lobsters, cook them in all less than an hour and a half. Had he been happier with his dish, I believe his presentation would have been more enthusiastic. You could tell even he was having a hard time trying to find a way to present his dish in a positive light.

Michael - I still like him a lot but think he could do a whole show in s Martha Stewart style. Maybe in front of a live audience? I was so glad he won the 1st challenge. He truly deserved that win. He will be one of the final three contestants.

Debbie - HAHAHAHAHA! I admit that I had to rewind the part where she got hit in the face and watch it a couple of times before moving on. First of all, anyone with any kitchen experience knows that you never walk up behind a cook who is taking something out of the oven without announcing your presence. We always did that at my house growing up. Secondly, she blamed the blandness of her chicken on her injury but her chicken was almost done before she got hit. She milked it for what it was worth and then some. Finally, I am sick of hearing her talk about her southern/Asian heritage. Same story every week. blah blah blah blah blah

Katie is still pretty unforgettable to me. Only now when I think of her, I just think of raw meat. The lamb a few weeks ago and now the turkey burger. I honestly think she should have been sent packing instead of Teddy this week. And, to be honest, her tears do nothing but aggravate me.

MELISSA! She was so awesome this week. Not only did she win the main challenge, but I believe that she has now earned the respect of the other finalists.

Who I think should be in the Top Three:
Melissa
Michael
Jamika

Who will probably be in the Top Three:
Debbie
Melissa
Jamika

Hmmm...the judges, ooops I mean Selection Committee, love Debbie more than she deserves. Either it is the editing - which I highly doubt - or she had dirt on each one of them.

Ha! I was able to catch up on all the episodes this week...so I can finally comment!

Totally agree with you on all this. My favorites are Jamika, Michael, and Melissa. I thought Debbie really overreacted to getting hit. Sure, it probably hurt, but her injury didn't even look that bad.

Michael would definitely do fantastic in front of a live audience.

We don't have cable anymore, so it looks like I'm missing a good show. Drama in the kitchen, what could be better than that?
