Is the first "job" Adam Gertler trys out on his upcoming show Will Work For Food that of a binge drinking college student?Somehow I don't picture Ina Garten making a video like this. Maybe after...

Some how a binge drinking college student does not seem like a JOB, but more like an idoit stunt that some fool would pull. IF this is going to be the preface for the show, I do not believe the Food network would be the place for it, in fact I can not think of any network that it should be okay for.

Maybe Adam is going to have the FN's equivalent of "Jackass"

There was nothing remotely entertaining about this piece.

It looks like it's just someone filming him goofing off. Doesn't seem like anything for a TV show.

Well, if that is what his show is all about, I won't be a viewer. That clip looked like some of those videos you see at TMZ.

Adam is a hack, i am still amazed he got a show

Shane (?) from tnfns would have been a much better young person choice.

PicBuddy is an unknown quantity at this point
There's no evidence that this footage has anything to do with his new show. Just another example of how wired the Internet is these days. Is it even him? Well, it sure looks like it. But I see no evidence that this has anything at all to do with his new show.

As far as being surprised he got a show, I am not. The last three finalists were very different. Take the one whom "so called won", well that was a marketing decision that existed before the "show" even started. Take Lisa Garza, the Romulan, she is getting picked up by another network, and take Adam, well, people liked him. He's funny. He's a lot more better at comedy than Aaron. Aaron seems to be good at showing how he makes food, but I am glad to see Adam get a show too. And Lisa, who knows, could be a good show too.

See, regardless of what us fans want, it's all about the money and what sells best on Scripps Networks shows. If they can sell shows with Aaron, Adam and Lisa, hell, why not? Sounds like to me this 4th season of Next Food Network Star was the most successful program this company has ever assembled. So whoy would they not use multiple "entrants" if money spending consumers would watch their programs? They would be negligent not to.
Take a looksee at Scripps Networks site... They claim to be "The Leader In LifeStyle Media". That'sa very bold statement.

This footage that looks like Adam has nothing to do with his new show.... I will watch his new show, for sure. Because after getting sucked into Next Food Network Star like a lemming, I want to see more of him. But I won't buy ANYTHING from ANY advertisers that contains too much sodium, and doesn't even tell the country of origin.
