Really? I find Guy kind of adorable.
I was surprised they went with Aaron, honestly. There doesn't seem to be anything new about his show. He was great, very personable, but it was just sort of predictable.
I loved Adam's approach -- having the webcam and the person to talk to was perfect for him, and I liked the idea of him taking tried and true recipes and tweaking them to suit callers. But then I've never watched Ask Aida, so I don't know how similar it would be.
Lisa was good -- I could see her doing a Barefoot Contessa or Giada type show, sort of understated and much crisper natural light (rather than the very saturated, in your face colors and light of Rachael's Thirty-Minute Meals, let's say), but they have shows like those. She was good, but she still wasn't as friendly and relaxed as I like.
Ask Aida is brand new - I think it starts next month. (That's why I wondered.)
Yeah. Well, I hate Guy.
I can see that. He strikes me as a love him or hate him kind of person.
Apparently "America" loves Guy, so I can totally see them looking for the next Guy as opposed to the next Ina or whoever. Although I can totally see Lisa getting more of a lifestyle show on another network.
(I am amused thinking about this in the context of the class discussion in Natter -- I want classy, "America" wants regular folks!)
Maybe - but last year was the last time that they allowed "America" to vote for who they wanted to see and instead of choosing who FN wanted, "America" picked the one that we thought could teach us something. I guess it's too bad that she decided she didn't want to do tv afterall.
True, true. Someone must like Guy, though -- Applebee's or whoever must have done market testing before hiring him!
No, people voted for Guy - and FN loves him enough to allow him to have other shows. They (FN) just no longer trust America to choose the ones that FN wants them too.
Sam Talbot - has pieces about eating as a diabetic on the Food Network. Does this mean that he has a show there?
If you get sick of the Olympics - Animal Planet is presenting an alternative: Puppy Games!
