My top 5 favorite FN shows
Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian. She's a lovely breath of fresh air.
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Guy is fun and entertaining.
Iron Chef.
Good Eats. Alton is a food science genius.
Everything with Bobby Flay. I consider him a "Food Magician."

My least 5 favorite FN shows
Anything with Giada. Her recipes are too simplistic and repetitive. Giada's personality has dramatically changed over the years. I find her to be quite conceited and "full of herself." Her new makeup is ridiculous.
Anything with Paula Deen. I can no longer watch her making a fool out of herself. Her sexual innuendos, loud mouth, heavy makeup, and overall phoney personality are distasteful. In her early days, she was humble and "real."
The Neely's show. After a couple of minutes of listening to Regina's loud and annoying mouth, I change channels.
The never-ending cake shows...Ace of Cakes and cake challenges.

My top 5..

1. Barefoot Contessa
2. Anything Giada
3. Anything Sunny
4. Anything Paula Deen
5. Iron Chef

Sorry, must add a #6. Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives.

Bottom 5..

1. FN Challenge
2. Ace of Cakes
3. Unwrapped
4. 30 minute meals (she just talks waaaayyy too much)
5. Semi-homemade. I'd like to someday count how many times she says "super simple" in one episode.

And yet another #6 - Chopped. I find the concept of the show very entertaining, but something about Ted Allen's attitude gets to me. I have a dislike of competition show hosts that are too cocky.

Top 5:
Good Eats
Chopped
FN Challenge - not all of them, but for the most part they're fun to watch
Iron Chef America
Throwdown

Bottom 5:
Anything RR - enough already, how many shows does one person need???
Anything Guy Fieri - I know, I know, everybody loves him but I am tired of FN jamming him down our throats
Giada - something about that "rounded" smile & the way she talks really annoys me & I have no idea why. And can you put the cleavage away, please?
Semi-Homemade - I'll admit - I watch it solely to see the train wreck.
Will Work For Food - Seriously, he needed a show? I just find him incredibly irritating.

I will admit that I do like Bobby Flay now. Years ago he seemed soooo cocky but now I really like him & enjoy watching him on Throwdown - his sense of humor seems to really shine on that show.
