If you&#8217;ve been reading this blog long enough, you&#8217;ll know that I don&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;Arabian. My vote is for Melissa. I think she&#8217;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&#8217;s never been to culinary school, heading a Food Network show. <\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey is charismatic, and he&#8217;s looks pleasant and likeable, but I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll win! I guess I&#8217;ll find out who wins this Sunday! <br \/><strong><br \/>Do you watch this show? If so, who do you think will win this Sunday?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll admit, I don&#8217;t watch much TV!
