Random Sunday Observations.

Ok, if you don't watch The Next Food Network Star, excuse the next paragraph. I've become addicted to this show, and I'm calling Herb as the Mr. Shizzle for this season. I mean really, this season above all others, I'm literally looking at 85% of the contestants going, SERIOUSLY??? SERIOUSLY. Who was nursing a hangover when they chose these people? I mean, yea, throw a few wild cards in there, but really?? I'm still upset that Melissa Vanilla (my pet name for her) won last season when CLEARLY Jeffrey should have won. 

I just have to call this right now:

• Aarti: ADORABLE. Obviously a great cook, she just needs to get that self-confidence UP, and I totally see her doing it. Her point of view is not represented on Food Network at present, she makes you want to hang out in her kitchen....she's #2 in my book.
• Brad: He is about as interesting as toast. He's a bit too cocky, needs to go tanning and maybe eat some more cheeseburgers. No one trusts a skinny chef. Plus he just seems.....clammy. 
• Aria: Great personality. Nothing bothers me about her, but nothing STANDS OUT. She's very camera friendly, she can cook, but what is remarkable? Nothing. 
• Brianna: Gorgeous woman. Apparently she is a good cook but she is AWKWARD on camera and in front of crowds. I don't see it happening. Watching her is PAINFUL.
• Darrell: Right off, men that have given themselves a nickname like "DAS" make me think they probably drive a Mid-Life-Crisis car and go clubbing every single night. That said, this guy apparently can cook but he's far more confident/arrogant about HIMSELF than his cooking. He seems to be hoping to get a modeling career from this show rather than a cooking job.
• Doreen: My God, I was so glad for her that they eliminated her. She has no idea what her food specialty is, how to cook or how to have a personality. She always looks like she has a stomach ache. Again, how did she make the cut?? 
• Dzintra: This woman is painful to watch. She is like nails on a chalkboard. Everything she says or does makes me more uncomfortable than sitting in a dentist's waiting room. What she should be trying out for is a reality show for hippies on an island dropping a lot of acid. I mean, she's already talking to herself in 3rd person. 
• Paul Young: This dude is like the over-confident guy in the bar, who won't take NO for an answer after he's bought you a drink. You know the type, the guy that will say "Come ON!" when you tell him you have a boyfriend. Every time I see him do anything I think LEVITRA COMMERCIAL. 
• Serena: Beautiful lady, obviously can throw it down in the kitchen. Needs to drink some wine and chill out before talking. I'd rate her TV potential as up there. #3.
• Tom: He just seems out of place. He seems like that 10 year old boy that's been dragged into the women's restroom with his mommy and is clammy and nervous. Sweaty. 

So, clearly I should be working for FoodNetwork as their commentator right? If I have time. I do what I can people to bring you what is REALLY IMPORTANT in life. 

That said, please enjoy this gripping vlog story below. Bring a tissue.
