Rep Power: 1 | I really enjoyed watching Aaron last night. He did a great job. Also, I like Lisa more the past few weeks than I did in the beginning. She just needs to take a chill pill.
My goodness. Adam was good as well. Poor Shane I really liked him.

I bet Adam is much better than they make him out to be....only time will tell. | Maybe but he did cook raw foods and that's bad, and hasn't seem to object. Also, he was a total tool job in that segment with Martha.
I'm a Lisa fan for now, then Aaron, then Kelsey, then Adam. Lisa's by far the best cook, but she's got to seem less arrogant. though, by her complaints to a blog, seems like she didn't get it. |

Rep Power: 1 | Anyone think, by the way, that Lisa could do well as an Iron Chef? The woman can cook but doesn't have the Sandra Lee personality to be smiley-home-cook woman. If anything she's a throwback to the old FN days.
My prediction? Aaron wins. |

Rep Power: 10 | I don't think Lisa is an actual chef. I kinda feel for Adam, if he really tried to have the flavor he wanted and it took time the limits placed on them time wise are what kept him down that's rough. If you think about it there are a lot of things they fixed where they didn't like any of the completed dishes that much. We know it's because you need more time to get some things to come out right. |

Rachael is a cook with a quirky personality and Anne is a trained, experienced and professional Chef and restaurant owner.
The fact the Mario has the best record (by far) of anyone on IC speaks miles about the work of Anne (and Mark Ladner).
I don't think Rachael is in that league or even in the same "sport".
But I do hope that Anne's show has some of Rachael's success.

Hey, I'm not mad at 'chu, but I was talking about personality, not experience. Both ladies have similar voices to me. Maybe they're both from the same area, I don't know. |

Rep Power: 2 | and now for the next food net work star, notice I did not say chef, because I am not sure we have any, nor am I sure about star, could be a deal like Amy, who is no longer with the network nor a star. but I have noticed at the viewers comment section on the web site for the judges blogs, that they have continued to get more and more comments, like the last I looked it was well over 1400, and when it started I believe 200 was around the number on their first blogs. After reading some of the comments looks like everyone is up in the air on this, and any one of them that is close, have both very positive and very negative things said about them. Wonder if I can vote to bring John Besh as the winner of a new show ?
