The Next Food Network Star

I end up watching the Food Network a lot on the weekends, and this evening was the first episode of the third season of the Next Food Network Star. I have watched the past two seasons and have enjoyed it so I was looking forward to this season too.

Now I'm not a chef, I don't cook much, and I can't taste their food so I just sort of watch to see who I enjoy watching, whose food looks good and sounds good. Its sort of like American Idol, I know nothing about music so all I can do is watch and try to feel my way through who to like. In the case of American Idol the four I really liked ended up being the top 4, we'll see how it turns out for this show.

As I was watching it I wasn't really seeing anyone I liked right off the bat. But I did notice some people I didn't like. While I initially liked Paul, when he saw Tommy putting chicken stock into his vegetarian dish and not only didn't say anything, but was laughing and joking about it, really turned me off. Adrien, who I can't say I even noticed on the show ended up saying something about it and that made him stood out to me. I guess some would say it's a competetion, why should Paul have said anything, but it just didn't hit me the right way. I also wasn't a fan of Patrick, although I can't point to a specific reason why.

Overall I thought the challenges were interesting and its good to see a diverse set of characters to watch.
