Ivan's the only one who has a series that could work long term because it is so damned generic. Honestly, I don't see any of these people being break out stars if they are stuck with their own initial offerings. Justin might maybe be able to break out, maybe if he won Chopped or something. Michelle could also work outside of the confines of her own POV, but honestly, how would she be any different than just about anyone else already employed by them if you did that? Justin is basically the only interesting personality left, whether his food looks gross sometimes or not.

I'm telling you, he comes off as too creepy to possibly get voted in by Food Network Star viewers. They've put him over very well over the course of the show but his camera presence is very unappealing, and not in a quirky neo-Alton Brown way, but in a "gonna cook your babies" way.

I don't necessarily disagree, but that kind of is the nature of the beast. He might seem creepy on camera, but the only alternatives are going to disappear within a year of being on the air, not because they are horrible, but because they bring nothing new to the table what so ever.

Justin seems like he's kind of interesting but his title is too wordy and he feels too Alton Brown-lite to me. Also I don't think I was blown away by congealed chicken stock on burnt lettuce either. Michelle's my favorite because I love her appearance, manner, and warmth. Yvan's "family style" doesn't really feel like a POV, and Martie is sweet but there's too much of a generational gap there for me. Edit: Justin should call his show "Food Rebel" or something. "Rebel with a Culinary Cause" is just a really unappealing title. messagemode1 fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jul 18, 2012 |

My partner said "he's got the sexiest lips", and I almost left him after 12 years together. If he thinks that's sexy... what does he think of me?

Let's up the ante on CAESAR SALAD bros I still stand by my assertion that it was awkward, and weird, and I have no idea why someone would waste time in a shortened pilot by sitting and watching Alton Brown while doing a quasi mst3k "look he had hair" bit or whatever.

I can't STAND Anne Burrell. She just had a loving meltdown because she didnt like what the chef on this show gave someone who ordered a veg dish at a STEAKHOUSE. She annoys the piss out of me.

Oh thank god, they're doing reruns of Sweet Genius season 2 again. All is well, all hail Israel.  Also it's the middle of baseball season and I just realized his initials are RBI. From now on that will play in my mind every time I see him.

A note about the lips: I used to work with the good J Money waaay back and his lips are just like that some times. He may have metro-ed out during his hipster incubation in Bedstuy, but I am dubious as regards such lip rumors. Secondly: If he gets a show it will have some gross looking poo poo on it that tastes heavenly. Dude comes from circumstances, as they say, and as such has a somewhat skewed understanding of what you are allowed to eat. He served me horrid sounding things that made me strangely happy. Also, once tried to scratch a blt on his turntable. It is very strange to see someone I used to know being, more or less, themselves - on television.

I want a circus cake, that would indeed be good times.

I love Bitchen Kitchen, but drat all of Nadia's recipes are always so complicated and/or expensive. She had an episode where she was making hangover cure meals. She was making sweet potato poutine and I can't even imagine trying to make her recipe with a bad hangover. Also, I agree with what most people in the thread said about Sweet Genius. That show is the best.
