The Next Food Network Star - are we watching?

I watched the first 2 seasons of TNFNS but missed the third one. I can't believe that if it's going to "change you life forever" you would put a winner like Party Line on at 4am!!! Oh and that's doubly confusing because FN here goes to infomercials until 7am.

I just watched the season opener of season 4 today and I'll probably keep watching it just to see Lisa go. She just isn't someone who seems like she can work with other people and/or be a part of the FN "family". (Plus I can't wait to see her biff it in those heels too!!)

However, what I really want to say about all this is WHY aren't they giving the challengers from Bobby Flay's Throwdown their own shows?????? Most of those people are already being fooled into thinking they're on a FN show and they do great, right off the bat! Offer them the shows they thought they were going to be on in the first place and we could avoid all this silliness and maybe get some good new shows! (Like the Muffaletta challenge that was on this afternoon. A sandwich show, like they thought they were on would be great and they were naturals!)

@chiffonade - Yup, chiff, 'tis true; Sandy was a judge. Methinks she finagled a spot on the panel to give herself credibility.

Can't believe Jennifer got the boot. I thought it would be Aaron. I was a tad annoyed by the little stunt he pulled, telling the judges that his son ran away before the comp started - lame and majorly manipulative. Brotha lost points with me at least. Nipa needed to go, how can you be a chef or cook and not want to handle fish?

I caught part of the new contest - only watched because of what I read here. Lisa wants to be connected to the 3C's, but I think of her as the 3P's.........Pretentious Pompous Posh. Cooking in heels is hilarious. OTOH, can you see her flopping around in Mario's orange clogs? I hope they keep her around for awhile - it would be fun to see her knocked off those high heels and breathe the same air as the rest of the population.

We have all learned that it makes absolutely no difference who wins anyway. FN is SO dumbed down and it's such a shame. Shamdra is a judge????? Holy Cool Whip! I'll watch the "STARS" (GAG) if I happen to run across it, but it's not high on my list. Only a few keepers left as far as interesting cooking shows are concerned and that's all I'm interested in seeing.

It is so bad that I can't stop watching it!. Lisa needs to come out in a french maid's outfit to complete her look. @vivianne, great idea about Bobby Flay's challengers.
