i hate penny on the bext food network star i hope judges have sense enough to det rid of her soon i don't even like watching the show cause i hate her so much
I think that Bobby Flay should have done a throwdown at Vic's on the River in Savannah insteasd of Rosebud in Atlanta. This was a throwdown for the Green Friend Tomato BLT sandwich. Vic's served one of the best freid green tomato BLT sandwiches (also had cheese on it) I've ever had!! Delicious!!
I hope I did not hear correctly when Penny said she has it in the box, and that she has nothing to worry about. Please don't make me correct in my feelings that the winner has already been chosen and you're going to waste our time with watching her nonsense. She offends me on so many levels, that watching you let her pass when she obviously has a problem makes me seriously doubt the credibility of the contest.
I love the Food Network and watch alot of your shows, but lately the contests and challenges seem to be pre-determined. Otherwise, if it is not as it appears to us viewers, perhaps you should be more careful in your editing and show us actually why you choose the winners you do.You show us their mistakes then keep them, and the ones you send home seem to not be as bad as the winners…
I think penny wont ……
huggies coupons
amen!! I will NEVER watch a show with her on it. I've watched and cooked with the food network for a couple of years now, but if Penny is what they think is talent, I'm out… What the hell with Suzie telling the other contestants to basically tolerate her because she's "aggressive"!!!! She's an insufferable mean girl with questionable, at best, cooking ability….
Okay, seriously?! They kept Penny because her "performance was weak but her food was good". They sent Justin home for the EXACT SAME THING last week and he's way more talented than Penny, not to mention a hell of a lot more likeable! This is Debbie from 2 seasons ago all over again. FNS, you need to stop being so wishy washy and hold all the contestants up to the SAME standard. If this is the kind of person Food Network thinks is the face of their network, then I'm not watching it.
exactly. If the panel has decided who's going to win, what's the point? there's no real competition; but know that putting it on air doesn't mean that I'll watch it. I guaran-damn-tee you I won't watch that Penny beeyotch!
