LAST EDITED ON 06-02-08 AT 03:19 PM (EST)I think so far, Guy F(whatever his last name is) is the only one to have been really successful. I like to watch him. The 2 guys that won the first season? - I think I've seen one show (I never did think it fair to have a pair/couple compete against other singles). I can't even remember who won last time! OK, I found the thread from last season.
Copied from my comment after the winner was announced:
There are others who I thought would have been better w/ their own show. I don't think we'll see too much of Amy. Guess I was right! 
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the bug's kitchen!
Agman? It's getting hot in here!!!!

LAST EDITED ON 06-09-08 AT 04:17 PM (EST)They decided to a "Where are they now?" with some of the finalists of the past 3 seasons..... Tummy, here's the one for Amy. She went to France! She actually was the one to turn down making more episodes, partially out of guilt of how she won, and partially because of her desire to move to France with her family. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_nf/article/0,2495,FOOD_20096_5840178,00.html Here's the page with the others that they did interviews with, including the Hearty Boys (Season 1 winner) and Guy Fieri (Season 2 winner) http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_nf/article/0,2495,FOOD_20096_5840920,00.html ETA: (it helps if I post the link.........)

Is Cory just trying to get on every reality show she can find? I've got her at three now, and that's just counting the ones I know about.

The preview for tonight gives an indication that this had to have been taped either late last year or early this year, because the now disgraced Food Network star of Dinner Impossible, Robert Irvine, is hosting one of the challenges and it appears to be themed on the Dinner Impossible episode where Robert had to cook on a train.........

Love and Romance boy is still there, he had the fig and bleu cheese salad. The guy that was sent packing, he served the "poached" (in reality, mostly raw) eggs on top of the steak that was determined to be one of the ones deserving of the USA Weekend prize......... Nipa had better shape up and get herself together, or she will be eliminated sooner than later, regardless of the desires of the Selection Committee to get some ethnic flavor besides the Italian (Giada, Mario on Iron Chef), Latino (Easy Delicioso), French (Barefoot Contessa), and the various American regional flavors already on the network............

But it's the ratio of cayenne and sugar that made it special. Sure, any of us could put cayenne and sugar together, but only Nipa knows the exact ratio that makes it great. /sarcasm

32. "RE: When Shane saw Cat..." |
LAST EDITED ON 06-30-08 AT 08:41 PM (EST)Bebo, agree completely with all your comments! I thought Aaron showed promise, but I'm disappointed in him. Think it might come down to Shane and Kelsey...too bad they can't use both of them together. I thought they were great in their paired challenge. Our biggest complaint is the unrealistic time constraints they put on the competitors. On a "real" show, they would have all the ingredients prepared and might even do an "Emeril" approach where as one dish goes into the oven, refrig, etc., the "finished" dish comes out because it was prepared in advance. Are we the only ones who think the two Food Network VPs are terrible judges???? I can tolerate the "real" chefs and their critiques, but those two come off as being just unbelievable.

35. "RE: As I have said before...." |
I just happened upon the remaining contestants doing a 4 minute cooking segment on Rachel Ray's show on Thursday (I thought she was in re-runs all summer, so was surprised to see a new show). All of them did really well. Even Aaron was very relaxed and personable. The judges were there, but did not critique or name a winner. That will happen on the next new show I guess.

36. "REToo bad this doesn't have its own forum!" |
It really DOES deserve it-more, say than HGTV Design Star, at this point in time!!
Last night was the continuation of the Rachael Ray segment that aired on Thursday, I believe. I couldn't wait to see how the judges decided! And they were right on, as far as I felt about the entire show. The only thing that confused me, was that the chefs were shown in reverse order, but that's no biggie, and some of the things that were done were edited out, but, again, not too big of a deal.Adam was AMAZING! He was the most natural of them all! And Aaron? WOW! Who knew? He shown like never before there, with that adorable, ADD little girl (ha!). She was adorable, especially when she grabbed that pizza and ran off the stage!! Aaron and Adam were definitely in their elements. Shane, Lisa, and dang-is it Leslie? Her name is escaping me at the moment, were just NOT. Lisa started off well, and then the whole deer in the headlight thing took over. And instead of 'dummying down' her dish for the kid, she really put the dish over the kid's head, so that even some of us adults had NO idea what she was talking about! Not good, Lisa! You are NOT Martha, yet! And even Martha knows better. So, anyway, Shane got the boot, after his speel about French cooking (to the judges), even though he's never been to France. They doubted his sincerity, his true 'chefery', if you will. And he's on his way to Hell's Kitchen for next season. To own his own restaurant in San Antonio, if he can handle the heat long enough to deal with Ramsey's mouth. I think it was one of THE best ever episodes, and I'm looking forward to next week when they hit Vegas and do whatever they're planning on doing there. This show has grown on me, and as of now, I'm rooting for one of the "A" men!! Amen!....is that how Aaron spells his name? I dunno....

Okay, interesting challenge - Throwdown!
I was glad Aaron got it right. I like him - hopes he learns quickly to ignore the camera and just relax.
I could watch Arron or Adam in a show.
No way will I watch the Dallas chick - Lisa?
Those squinty eyes? Her make-up/blush doesn't help - just makes her eyes look even more squinted.
And horrible hairstyle. So unbecoming.
Snidget put me on the cover!

41. "RE: July 13th" |
I was really sad to see Kelsey go home. She was a little too perky for me at first, but I don't think she was fake at all and she just seemed like a really sweet, enthusiastic person and she grew on me. I would have watched her show.Of the remaining 3, I really, really want Adam to win. It might have something to do with the fact that somewhere around 2 episodes ago, I seem to have developed a crush on him.  Come on, a funny, cute guy who can cook? Yes, please! Aaron seems to be a good cook and a nice guy, but his personality does nothing for me. I find him rather boring. Lisa, as mentioned, is just way too spastic and is not enjoyable to watch. And I just don't care for her style of cuisine-- it's a little too fancy for me. Or maybe it's just the way she presents it, it makes me feel like she thinks she's better than everyone else or something.

42. "RE: July 20th" |
WOW-all three next week! I had a feeling it was going to be a three-fer play off. They all have so much to offer. I know many of you don't like Lisa, but she has grown on me; she has shown many of her weaknesses, and her strengths, and I think she is incredibly talented (WOW, what a VOiCE!), as well as an amazing chef. Who knew Guy would be so hard on these guys last night, huh? I'm so used to seeing him scarf down all that food on "Diners, Dives, and Drive-In's", I thought he was just a regular guy with a food fetish! But he wouldn't be there if he didn't know his food, and how to present himself to the camera. Felt bad for Aaron at the buffet, but he really should have listed to Guy about the pastas, and he should've worked on a different presentation, or that presentation a different way...Poor dude! Adam, as always, gives me a kick, and always seems to come up with something that makes you wonder if he's going to be able to pull off, but in the end, he does. THAT will be his greatest challenge-staying off the edge next week. Am I correct in that WE are going to vote for them? Or do I have that mixed up with Design Star, or are we voting for both??? I dunno.....my brain is so full of fake reality right now!! Someone help me-Is there a rehab for all this at the beginning of fall?? NO, JUST SURVIVOR AND TAR!!!!

As far as I recall, "we" don't get to vote on these folks. It's purely a network decision. I felt SO bad for Aaron last night. He just looks like a deer in the headlights sometimes...yet, I believe he can cook and would have a lot to offer as a host on his own show. I'd watch him. ;) Adam is a hoot. I get so tired of the overly fake personalities, or the lack thereof, on Food Network. He would be fun and interesting...and some of his recipes sound like something I'd try. DH likes Lisa. She just doesn't appeal to me, but I will certainly give her praise for her singing and her personality presentation last night! When you do something really well, you need to be recognized for it...and she definitely did it last night. But, would I watch her? No. Would I ever attempt one of her recipes? No way. Way too fancy for our taste...but I know plenty of folks would. I'm with Guy. I want all three! Each is unique, talented, and yes, "human"! I think with coaching, training, and on-camera time, each one could nail it.

I thought we DO get to vote on the finalists. I recall voting last year, I think.I would watch a Lisa show. Reminds me of Barefoot Contessa, though, so I'm not sure it's a "new" enough style for Food Network. Adam could produce a fun show. Guy is hitting it big because he's so different than anyone on there and he's entertaining. I think Adam DOES have skills and knowledge, he just lacks some serious confidence. I hope this week really boosted his confidence for the finale. Aaron had a really good promo. I was happy he did something for the camera that turned out well. I MIGHT watch a show he did, but doubt I'd stick with it.

Did my research, and yes, we "should" be able to vote on the final two, which happened last year--even though there was controversy and the final two changed. I think I was so disgusted with the whole mess last year that I didn't bother to vote...or my old age is causing me to forget which reality shows allow viewers' participation and which don't.

52. "RE:Well, you got THAT one right!" |
Although I don't have a problem with Aaron winning, it was spoiled and let out of the bag-which is a VERY BAD THING!!I thought the finale would be live, also, so shame on them, and shame on us for trusting them!! I'm sure they'll hear from some very unhappy fans and will lose some in the process. You're so right about the quality of their show-I've noticed that most of the people they choose is based on personality-all of which I thought Lisa, Adam and Aaron had, but the food?? Come on! If Guy doesn't drop over dead soon, he's a lucky duck! My husband has had high cholesterol since he was in his early 30's, and believe me, if he even DARED what Guy does, he would be DEAD! And Paula's cooking? Even Racheal? They just don't tone it down for those of us who need healthier foods for whatever reason. Not all of us can indulge in grease-soaked, wavy gravy, pork chops, deep fried twinkies, and/or glazed sweet potatoes! Sure, they may be fast, and the personalities of these people may be fun and energetic, but I'm really watching Guy, and waiting to see where he's going to be in 5-10 years. I'll wager a quadruple by-pass, and a week in ICU. Not that I want that on him, but I've been there, with my husband eating healthy, so why do this to the public?? It's redundant!! Nothing wrong with BBQ, which is Aaron's forte, but how far can you go with that? I do like his personality, but I think he may be burned out quickly. As Lisa said last night, SHE is not a 'one trick pony'. I fear Aaron and Adam were. Only time will tell...I wish him all the luck in the world!! We have to remember, it was not HIS fault that any of this happened, and I for one, want to respect that, and support him as best I can.

54. "RE:Well, you got THAT one right!" |
All three promos were good.Lisa: She related to the audience really well with her stories. Made me smile. And I'm glad she admitted the sauce was really simple, just had a fancy name. Aaron: His food LOOKED beautiful, I must say. And it sounded good. I still just don't really get his culinary point of view. But I was impressed with his fun demeanor. Adam: Ok, I have a little crush on Adam, but his food IS a bit of a one-trick pony and there's already Bobby Flay for bbq on the network. However, I still think he had the BEST, UNIQUE concept for a show. I have a feeling we'll see that in the near future on Food Network. I would watch an Aaron show, but I'm still pretty unsure about what kind of food he'll be cooking.

Yeah, the season that just concluded was the fourth season. Guy did have a cooking show, Guy's Big Bite, before he did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives I think. And, as you noted, the other two winners so far have just faded into obscurity.
