Anyone watch last night??

Anyone watch last night??

DVR'd it, but haven't watched it yet. Hopefully tonight.

Was excited to see two of the Top Chef Masters participants - Jonathan Waxman and Susan Feniger - in the coming attractions.

Spoilers don't bother me, so spill away!

Anyone watch last night??

I did. Sorry that Das went home. I like him although he has been pretty medicore the last few times.

I don't think there is show next week (4th of July) but then there is a 90 minute episode the week after that.

 

[Metsfan520]

Yeah, I was kinda sad that Das went home. I was hoping this was it for Serena.

 

[kaytieeldr]

I was actually hoping Breanna would go home. I can tell you right now, I WON'T watch her show if she wins - and I even watch that "Party with the Hardy Boys" or whatever it is in the middle of the night when I'm awake! Heck, I even watch "What Would Brian Boitano Make?" and he's SUPER-annoying, and I still couldn't stand a show hosted by Breanna!

In no particular order: Brad, Paul, Aarti, Tom. Although one of the first two - the self-described "Pro" chef - he's going to HAVE to change his plan for his show.

Aria is too obsequious, Herb is too serious and he's got to lighten up on his healthy food attitude, Breanna I've already given my opinion, Serena is too... well, Serena is just too perky

 

[DizBelle]

Wasn't Eric Greenspan the first one eliminated from the last Next Iron Chef?

 

[nikkistevej]

Yeah- I would have liked for Serena to go home before Das too. I don't care for Breanna either, although last night she was a little better. I'm glad that Brad won for their group too. I like him, Aria, Tom and Aarti. And does anyone else think Aarti has a really pretty smile?

 

[luvmy3]

I'm glad he went home. As nice as he was to look at, he was painful to watch and listen to. I'm guessing Serena or jerk-o will go home next.

I remember him from Next Iron Chef!

Yep he was the first one out! WoW!

I'm kind of glad Das is gone, he was painful to watch on camera -- even though Serena and Brianna annoy me MUCH more. I cannot WAIT to see Brianna fall off her high house.

Last night was like a marketing campaign for Herb -- way to go FN!

ITA with you about Breanna and her high horse. I think she was taken for a loop when Brad won for their group too- did you see her face. LOL And don't get me started on Serena.

 

[Robinrs]

I also think Das shot himself in the foot with that steak statement. They constantly harp on the food expertise of the FN stars and not knowing Prime was the top cut put the nail in his coffin.

Yeah- I definitely don't think that helped his situation.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I hope Brianna goes next. She's just not a favorite of mine and as someone said before me, I won't watch her if she does win.

 

[Aimeedyan]

I was glad Das went home - I didn't like him from the beginning and the prime steak comment made him look completely ignorant even in comparison to the home cook. But, Brianna was/is at the top of my go-home list. Man, she thinks she is hot stuff. Gak.

 

[wdwiala]

Man, she thinks she is hot stuff. Gak.

Pride is one thing, arrogance is another. She is a snoot.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Agreed, wdwiala! A curren Food Network Star could get away with that behavior - but wouldn't try . A potential star? Nope.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Seriously, she's so full of herself. I shutter to think if she wins, what she would turn into if she already possesses the diva personality. Yikes!

 

[Lanshark]

Besides Guy F have any of the winners of this show had successful runs on the food network? By successful, I mean a show that actually airs for those of us that work by day and sleep by night (at least before 12:00am). I love Guy but he is becoming oversaturated much like Rachal Ray. I don't care for Melissa or Big Daddy. I know Adam Gertler (sp) was not a winner but at least he has a personality.

 

[FergieTCat]

I thought I was the only one who can't stand Brianna. I'd like to strangle Ms. Diva. I don't know who is going to win; no one is a stand out at the moment.

I wish they would either re-run the season with Guy Fieri or put it on DVD. I would love to see how he did throughout the whole thing.

And here's my odd admission -- I facebook-friended Michael from last season. I thought he was personable but didn't have a chance of winning. And he is very nice outside of the show. Someday I have to visit his restaurant. (He's a chef a Chop House in New Rochelle, NY, I believe).

I hate Indian food but am rooting for Aarti anyway. She seems very genuine.
