Recap Food Network Star S9 E9
The latest season of Food Network Star is underway and the latest round of wannabe TV chefs have begun their quest. We’ve seen first impressions and heard what the judges think but what the world really wants to know is what I think. Let’s do this.
If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode STOP! Watch it HERE first and then come back. It’s a frickin recap, yo!
Doing the Impossible: A Food Network Star must be able to offer tips and solutions for any culinary situation. Guest Robert Irvine leads the finalists on an “impossible” challenge: They must rehabilitate failing or outdated dishes on a restaurant’s menu. The least successful finalist is sent home.
Last week’s episode was a complete waste of time. Nothing, and I mean nothing was accomplished. The producers brought a contestant, Lovely, who had already proven to be less than Star material and guess what? She still is. Stacey is still the clear favorite despite a rocky week. I’ve seen this show enough to recognize when editing is manipulated to make a contestant look better or worse than their actual performance. I don’t believe Stacey’s performance last week was all that bad but without the benefit of seeing all of the footage we have to take the Network’s word that it really went down that way. Sorry FN, not buying it.
So with last week’s episode being totally devoid of entertainment this week’s couldn’t help but be better could it? Wrong! This week marked the return of what is traditionally the most moronic challenge each year – the use-Kellogg-cereal-in-something-other-than-a-bowl-of-milk-challenge. This is never any good and more to the point does nothing to help establish anyone’s creativity or expertise. It is simply an hour long commercial for Kellogg Cereal. This episode can always be summed up in word – sucks.
Now for my take on each:
