PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
I was rooting for Adam during the finale, and was rather disappointed when he didn't win. I thought he came up with a really brilliant pitch and then executed well. As you said, Lisa & Aaron's demos have some overlap with current Food Network programming.
What I really found galling though, is that immediately after Adam's segment, during the commercial break, Food Network had a promo for 'Ask Aida'. And it's basically the same concept that Adam pitched. Viewers e-mail the host for help and then she spends the episode answering their question. After I saw the commercial, I had a sinking feeling Adam wouldn't win. No need for two shows with basically the same idea. I guess the Food Network execs liked Adam's idea - just not with Adam as the host. I suppose it's possible FN was already planning and developing the show - and Adam had the misfortune of stumbling upon the same idea - but the whole thing still leaves a bad aftertaste.
