The Next Food Network Star - Season Finale

[mallyrose87]

I was surprised that Aaron won. Lisa was my favorite of them (and I disagree strongly that she was snobbish), and Adam was my second choice. I thought all the demos were very good though.
I am happy for Aaron, and will give the show a chance of course, as I do most new Food Network shows. But I would have gone with Adam or Lisa.

I'm sure many agree with you. I, too, really like Aaron, but the pizzazz and on camera sparkle went to Lisa and Adam for me.

With producers and professional coaches, Aaron will shine. He is so likeable.

I like Aaron -- the ONLY thing that bothers me is that he BOMBED last week and he should have been kicked off then. If I was one of those chefs/performers watching this week, I'd be like "huh? he won??"

Adam would have been hilarious to watch and I think would have worked on FN, as would have LIsa. I'm worried Aaron may not get much of a following -- while both Adam and Lisa had a chance at a "loyal following", which I think is the key for any success -- having a base. If you just look on thte net, Lisa has the best core following -- sophisticated women.

If they are smart they will take Lisa over to the Fine Living Network.

agree

I was happy with the winner and will be looking forward to his new show. My second choice of the three was Adam. Just never could get warmed up to Lisa. As some have said, she would be a good match with FLN.

Aaron got more comfortable with the camera as time went on and hopefully he'll keep on improving as his show progresses.

I have to say, the three finalists this year reminded me of the three finalists 2 years ago -- Guy, Carissa, and Reggie. All were quality and you could imagine all having their own show. I don't really remember season 1, and season 3 was a disaster -- the three finalists were all average at best, and then they totally screwed Rory by bringing back Amy after Jag left. Then Rory embarassed herself with her shenanigans when Amy won.

Reggie was on Sandra Lee's show after he lost. So maybe we will see the others again.

So hard to watch Aaron's presentation from last week. OUch.

I have never been a fan of Adam (nice guy, but didn't like watching him) but I thought his pilot was really good. When it came down to it I thought all three had shows that I would watch. I thought that Adam would win, was surprised Aaron won (in a good way), but was also sad that it wasn't Lisa. I have a hard time picking between people I like. I am happy Aaron won, and look forward to his show - I can't believe its going to be on next week.
