No matter whether Adam deserved to win, his idea should have gone home with him. However, I'm in the legal field and FN must have made him sign away his ideas as property of FN. I have to now go cold turkey from FN - I no longer respect their integrity.Yorkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871219532634028797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-23662459481022221232008-07-28T09:57:00.000-04:002008-07-28T09:57:00.000-04:00Wow, nice to know you're basing the fact of him be...Wow, nice to know you're basing the fact of him being funny on whether or not OTHER people think he's funny.

I know a lot of people don't stop to consider how edited reality TV is. I try to always keep this in mind. But mostly, I just ***LOVE*** Lisa. I think when she’s not under the pressure of a competition her style & true star quality will shine through-as well as her food knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, she is the only contestant who I can see myself tuning in each week to catch a show with. She makes me want to learn more about fine foods. Each episode she grows on me and I come to admire her more & more. I think she can do great things.Jennifer Coomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144695641505947308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-87293083483469038082008-07-08T21:38:00.000-04:002008-07-08T21:38:00.000-04:00Oh, please.

They probably edited OUT the part where she froze and TNFNS showed it. Didn't Lisa herself say that she froze up during the episode because Rachael is such a strong personality? As for Adam, didn't notice much of a difference - he still interacted well with the host, brownie, camera, and audience and was quite at ease.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-17580678229577393022008-07-08T12:49:00.000-04:002008-07-08T12:49:00.000-04:00yeah, right: thank you for the opportunity to be o...yeah, right: thank you for the opportunity to be on the lamest show ever and make me look like an idiot......<BR/><BR/>what is anyone EVER thinking when they sign up for this crap anyway??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368617.post-67583982087796255322008-07-08T12:31:00.000-04:002008-07-08T12:31:00.000-04:00Anon 9:16: It was TNFNS that edited in the laugh, ...Anon 9:16: It was TNFNS that edited in the laugh, not <I>Rachael Ray</I>.

Riiight... <BR/><BR/><BR/>Look, people, TFN uses a process called "editing" to highlight the best and worst moments of EACH contestant. They do this to, you know, make the show more interesting. If it was some kind of conspiracy to make Adam look like Seinfeld, then they would have edited out his Coast Guard trip. Likewise, we've seen Lisa in rare (very rare) moments of something approaching sweetness and humanity.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm still rooting for Kelsey to win and do a show with puppets!!
