I guess this is a testament as to how well the food network has done. I just want them to do it better than the others. They started this trend, they need to keep setting them if they want to stay on top.

Bravo has the luxury I think of making Top Chef much more edgy than Food Network can make their shows. If Food Network let some of the stuff that Bravo lets go through on the air we'd all be shocked.

Well I hope Food Network doesn't take that route. One of the things I love about Food Network is that if I fall asleep on the couch and my kids come in the room it won't have something come on later that I wouldn't want them to see.

They always have to bleep the chefs out on Top Chef. And most of them don't have that friendly Food Network look (of course they're not trying to get their own show, which makes a big difference). The one season they all flipped out one night and tried to shave the jerky Marcel's hair off. I can't see Aaron waking up in the middle of the night and trying to shave off Adam's hair.

Marcel would have drove anybody to that, well not anybody but most. I could not stand that guy. I just do not see Bravo doing much beyond Top Chef, that network seems more to the Adult type shows, as to Pada, I have seen as much from Giada as from Pada on the tv shows. I think it is on how you view, do you look for that type of adult stuff, look at Paula's party sometimes a soap opera in itself. I do not see much more coming from Bravo, seems like what they are doing is creating interest for cooks to get a start with their own place. Adding the cookbook, I thought was a good idea, I liked some of the plates they have done. And for a competition Top Chef IMHO far outdoes any of the other chef shows like that, where unknown chefs compete. And as far as the bleeps go, Ramsay, has them all beat, but even at that look at some of Bourdains shows even his has bleeps on them. I am not worried about Bravo replacing Food network, but am worried that food network will put it self out. They have have gotten away from the premise of what has made them. I will give them this, that they have added some new shows that seem to be headed in the right direction, and when we see a new show we like we need to let them know, email, to the shows, emails to the sponsors, that in itself would say a whole lot. I know I have already sent email the show with Anne B, and going to add the sponsors to the list as soon as I see who sponsored the show.
