I've switched to Food Network Star, but I have to say I'm much less interested now that Mary Beth is gone. She was far from perfect, but I was really interested in seeing what she could do with a whole show.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

I'm sure Mary Beth will end up with a show on the Cooking Channel or the Style network or something like that. I think she'd be far better off with a show where she eats rather than a show where she cooks though.

I agree. And they've done that with other people who didn't make it to the final (or did and didn't win). I was thinking even a show about "finding it fresh" or something, where she could travel all over and spotlight local markets or whatever.

Yeah, that's why I said it. I've seen previous runner-ups all over the place and in some cases their shows are more interesting than what the winners come up with. Find it fresh, is a good idea. Going around to farmer's markets and local specialty food stores around the country.

I'm very disappointed with the results of NFNS. I hope that the other two end up with shows somewhere as well.

Yeah, out of the two finalists, I really would have preferred Suzi win.

I would have enjoyed Suzi's (Vic's probably even more) but I think the concept of the winning show is interesting and not something that's out there right now.
(I have to say I was starting to get tired of the "things my father did/did not anticipate when he crossed the border" theme.)

Vic was my favorite. I always thought Suzi's food looks delicious. I'm just not interested in a show about sandwiches, plus I find what's his name is annoying.

Yeah, I was surprised Vic didn't make it. He was adorable.

I just had a brainflash of Jilli on NFNS. Note I've never seen the show, and I have no idea if Jilli can cook, but the image was pretty stunning, I must say.
