I loved Giada! They seemed to be having fun.. Lighten up everyone. I want to know where she got that blouse???? The food looked fantastic as well.
God…….What a train wreck it was. Ree and Sunny were the only two I thought had acted professionally and civilly. Bobby Flay, was as usual, completely full of himself and Alton just thinks he's the greatest thing to ever grace the flat-screen tv…..Give me a break Alton……And Giada……She just thinks she is so so very cute and loveable that no matter what she says, she will be adored…..No wonder her husband said at one time that he hoped Jade would have as much patience with her mother as he did. Sadly, Aaron and Sunny did not get much air time…..They are very talented and overlooked. Rachel maintained her cool, relaxed and down-to-earth persona, altho with a condescending tone at times….Giada….get over yourself…..you are not THAT beaurtiful…..
