I’ll admit, I don’t watch much TV! If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you’ll know that I don’t talk about TV shows much, except for the Twilight Zone!However, every time the Food Network has the Next Food Network Star competition, I just have to watch it each week! I want to see who’s eliminated and who has a chance at being the Next Food Network Star. The two that are still in the running are Jeffrey Saad and Melissa D’Arabian. My vote is for Melissa. I think she’s been a better cook than Jeffrey throughout the competition. I also think the Food Network could benefit having a mother of four (a home cook), who’s never been to culinary school, heading a Food Network show.
Jeffrey is charismatic, and he’s looks pleasant and likeable, but I don’t think he’ll win! I guess I’ll find out who wins this Sunday!
Do you watch this show? If so, who do you think will win this Sunday?
I’m rooting for Melissa, too. :o)
I missed some of the earlier episodes but got hooked a couple of weeks ago. I fell asleep right before they booted off this week’s candidate, which obviously was Sandie. I thought she did well during her three-course meal and Jeffrey not so well, but because I missed those earlier shows, I don’t have a good feel for their overall performance.
I’m voting for Melissa (although FN already has a mom with no formal training…Rachel Ray!)
Rachel Ray is a mom?!! I had no idea! I assumed she was childless! Shows how much I know about the Food Network Stars! Anybody reading this comment, tell me what kind of Food Network shows you like the best. I prefer the ones where they’re in the kitchen, actually cooking, like the Neely’s Rachel Ray, Tyler Florence, Big Daddy, and Giada’s show. I also like Paula Deen. My second favorite type of FN show is when the FN stars travel to different cities to explore the food.
I don’t care much for the competitions like Iron Chef or the cake competition…BUT, I LOVE the Next Food Network Star competition. Why? I’m not sure!
I love this show and these 2 were my favorites although I’m rooting for Melissa too!
Pssst, Cecelia. I found your blog when I was googling around… I’m a born-again Christian who is applying for Season 6, Next Food Network Star. Pray for me! God’s will, according to His plans! If He wants me there, I want to be there. If I actually get accepted, you can say, “I prayed for her.”
PS I didn’t know Rachel Ray was a mom?!?!
Blessings,

Hi, again, Cecelia,
Got your message- oh, about the foods I like to cook: Pretty basic foods (with healthy ingredients, but of course)… classics but with shortcuts. You can see a lot of them at my website… It’s convenient to be able to cook with basic ingredients, with techniques that make them tasty!
Maybe they’ll call me. I’ll know by December… Even if I didn’t win, it would be an extraordinary opportunity, just to be amongst the contenders!
