I watched the whole season of The Next Food Network Star, and thought either Lisa or Adam deserved to win. When Aaron won I was blown away. His first episode was lousy and not innovative AT ALL! At least Lisa and Adam brought something different to the table...Lisa's class and expertise and Adam's fun-loving goofy-hip talent. Lisa is the kind of person I would watch, just to aspire to her level. Sure, she's a little odd but interesting and intelligent. I like the quirkiness of her fine clothes and super type A personality. I'd also watch Adam because he's so darn entertaining. I hope the FN doesn't stomp out his personality by giving him a stupid show concept. I think he had the chops to do a cooking show, even if Bobby Flay didn't "believe" in his culinary knowledge. (Bobby is the self appointed all-knowing food God or something!) Go Adam! And as for Lisa, she' probably too classy for the FN anyway.
