I hope Lisa does read our post here, I think most of us are intelligent enough to know, that the network edits these shows to fit their needs, not the other way around. Given the complexity of last nights competition, I thought most of the contestants did all right. Not to many people I know can handle doing what they did, first of working with RR whose had many years at doing TV and now in front of a live audience, I can remember watching her first show I was not really impressed. It seemed as though RR could have done something to move the conversation back to Lisa, she just seemed to take control and Lisa had no idea how to get it back, and that only come from lack of experience. Lisa just needs to remember, these host are people and put their pants skirts whatever it is on the same way as everyone else in the morning, and theirs jobs just happen to be on TV, no more important than the grocery clerk that rings your groceries, or the person who delivers your mail, its a job hosting a TV show nothing more nothing less. I think if Lisa would just think of it as that she really would have a chance, if she doesnt and continues to think of it as her whole life, she will get the hatchet and her TV chops will end but not her life and there are still people who need help out there.

Maybe they are trying to censor her because they think we WILL assume that, and they don't want her to give away that she doesn't make it to the final 2. Don't they sign something to that effect saying they can't reveal certain things to the public?

Wow, I had no idea they weren't doing a public vote this year. Not sure if that's a great idea or not. Is that the anti-kelsey strategy?

Personally I think Lisa is the best all around of the remaining four, and it's not particularly close. Not that she couldn't lose or should win it just because of that, but Kelsey, Aaron, and Adam all have significant more drawbacks:

Kelsey comes across as quite phony.
Aaron has shown his personality once.
Adam can't cook.

Lisa is interesting, CAN cook, has a story, and has a stage presence. Hello FN!

That said, she should be SHUTTING up, as her emails seem to indicate she was not chosen.

That would make the most sense. Also, from reading the comments on your blogs, apparently there isn't a vote this year?

The final two will compete in the season finale. There isn't a mention of a vote this time. This is the description I was given of the final show....

Quote:
Episode 9 – July 27 at 10pm ET/PT>>
Season Finale!>>
In the season finale, the final contenders face off at Food Network, performing pilot presentations of their dream shows. Then, all the finalists return and join a live audience to find out who will be “The Next Food Network Star!” >>

Maybe they realized the popular voting system wasn't what they thought it would be. Rory would probably still be on the FN, had she been chosen. I don't think Amy really wanted it..I mean, she did ask to go home and then they brought her back. It seemed so botched up last year.

I think any one of the remaining four could have their own show. Would I watch all of them? Probably not.

I think Adam has a lot of TV potential...he's an entertainer and can cook a bit. A winning combination and I'm sure, if he is directed, could do a great cooking show. Most of the script is written by someone else, isn't it?

I do like Lisa, though. Her style is different and she can cook. Should be interesting to see who ends up with the big contract!

You are right with the vote. Maybe because of what happened to Rory? That was the ULTIMATE screw job in my view. They felt they had to have a vote when they should have just given it to Rory. I mean, if a Super Bowl team forfeits, they dont go get a loser in the conference championship to play.

I think Lisa would have the show that olds, though I agree they all have talent.

The most talented season so far was Season 2, when I thought Guy, Nathan, Reggie, and Carissa all were top notch. Nathan actually has his own show now on FIT TV or something.

Lisa and Adam will be in the final 2. That is my prediction.

I think it will be Adam and Aaron based on this. I don't think Lisa would be upset about how things went if they went well for her.
