I was kinda surprised at Tuschman's speech too. This is exactly what Amy Findlay did. Well.....almost. She proclaimed that she didn't want to be there anymore and won the contest. Is Nipa going to be the winner? Since when did they abandon the diverse cook idea? Why do these people keep contradicting themselves?

Booby Flake lol lol lol Great name for him!! Too much competition in the romantic fella. Not only did he tell him he didn't beleive in his style, he booted him out the door. Booby is a network pioneer almost. No way can anybody upstage him.

That raw egg thing was a total joke. What was the judge looking at when she plopped the slimy mess into her mouth? I saw a piece on her tongue and thought I was going to lose it. Gross!!!! I know everybody had to see it. Wouldn't a chef have some idea as to how long an egg should be cooked before serving it? Apparently not??

So far, I find the challenges pretty dumb but entertaining to see just how much they can mess up. 30 minutes for prep time is almost impossible. You're right. It's totally unrealistic to what the network needs. If the chefs don't entertain me for 30 minutes to an hour, I turn the channel. Amy Findlay had no appeal at all--no wonder she's gone. They have 30 people in the background preparing everything for them so why is this such a focus in the contest? Makes no sense.

Personality, knowledge, performing in front of a camera, are what it's going to take. Who knows if those dishes they prepare are even edible? They may look great but nobody can convince me that every single dish prepared on every single show is absolutely delicious. In my opinion, most of them are half cooked. Booby Flake is a master of raw chicken.

Guy Fieri: Holy Cow!! I could write a book on that guy. His cholesterol must be 435, triglycerides 1002. He eats like he has a garbage can behind his mouth. He is a slob and some of his handling techniques in the mom and pop restaurants is despicable. He actually cooks and serves food to people

Let's look forward to more stellar performances from some of the network's brightest stars. Can't wait!!!
