In fact, it didn't seem like he gave a crap. Is he afraid someone will win who will upstage him? I don't know how many of you have seen South Park on Comedy Central, but sometimes when Guy says "OK" (which he does quite a bit), he sounds like Mr. Mackey, the school counselor. "We're gonna take these shrimp and put them in the oil, OK? And fry them up until they're golden brown, OK? Then I'll try not to wear flip flops in the kitchen all the time, OK?" <BR/>Bobby Flay was really supportive and encouraging during Aaron's TV promo spot.<BR/>I read on this blog and in your messages about the FN screwup in accidentally publishing the TNFNS results/exit interviews.<BR/>I also agree that Aaron is not the best candidate for a show. It is really surprising that he lasted as long as he did. I would even say the same about Adam to an extent.<BR/>AlexAlejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926188357711914515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-77794079163459136792008-07-24T02:58:00.000-04:002008-07-24T02:58:00.000-04:00And isn't it convenient that we're not allowed to ...And isn't it convenient that we're not allowed to vote this year and screw up their plans?

He's easily the most entertaining and comfortable in front of the camera. Even when he presents badly it's not so bad because of his charisma. (except on the show with the coast guards.. although that crowd was waaay too serious. Honestly, not even a chuckle??)<BR/>Lisa - ok presenter, great food. She was so bad in the beginning but she works hard and has improved the most<BR/>I think it's really close between Adam and Lisa with Adam barely inching her out.

If you're looking for someone who definitely suffers from the same strain of untreatable diva-itis as our fine Miss Lisa, look no forward than Martha Stewart, Dr. Laura, Ann Coulter, Nancy Grace or Victoria Beckham. Their patron saint, of course, is the late Leona Helmsley. If you don't belive me AND you're brave enough- copy & click here and tell me who this is... http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/timewasters/art.leona.jpg I'm sure Lisa has a place in our culture- but please Lord, can in not be on my TV? And just so you don't think I'm "mean", as a treat for all the Lisa Lovers, I've uncovered (after an exhaustive search) this exclusive, photo of Lisa's husband working in their exclusive (her word's not mine) restaurant. Enjoy. http://members.aol.com/gamzemenali/private/vulcan.gifAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-88070974271388859222008-07-22T13:41:00.000-04:002008-07-22T13:41:00.000-04:00My fav contestant Kelsey has already left the show...My fav contestant Kelsey has already left the show so I really don't care about the last three but I noticed that at one point Lisa commented that each time Adam leaves his 'Comfort Zone' he messes up his food. I am just wondering how true is this for Lisa herself ‘coz when she was asked to make "Macaroni and Cheese" with the recipe in hand, she couldn't even make it for the judges to like it, in fact they plain hated it. So how good is she at cooking anyways if she can't make plain mac and cheese, or probably anything else other than what she's practiced on a hundred times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-63795418981163821732008-07-22T13:29:00.000-04:002008-07-22T13:29:00.000-04:00Ya!

Only one other time have I felt uncomfortable watching NFNS and that was in week 4 when Aaron out of the blue started talking about his runaway kid, WTF!! I'm not heartless but the timing and awkwardness of really turned me off :P I hate feeling like that. He really sucks on camera and I can NEVER enjoy a show hosted by him because of those failures. And maybe I'm thinking too much into this but on the RR challenge, did anyone else notice that he conveniently had the most adorable brownie out of the bunch? I also don't think he really rocked the first vegas challenge so much as Kelsey just tanked it. And we didn't see her getting a free pass despite her great past performances. Whether you believe it's affirmative action or not, Aaron has definitely been shown unfair favoritism this whole series.

I think Adam should win. He hasn't gotten AS emotional as Lisa or Aaron. They're supposed to win a FOOD show, right? Lisa cried over meeting Martha Stewart. I laughed so hard. I would not watch a show hosted by a person who thought Martha Stewart was some sort of role model. I was hoping Adam would make some jailhouse rock lobster sauce or something to commemorate Martha appearing on the show. Everyone is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too serious about this. The lesser of three emotionals would be Adam and some of his recipes actually sound really good. Go ADAM! Oh, and I also made the spock ears comment to my husband.
