Funny Business by Grant Dudley in Food Network Star, August 1, 2011

Brevity can be a good thing. With that in mind, my overall summation of last night's show is this: They laughed, Whitney cried, she went home — and we now have our final four!
Jeff, Mary Beth, Vic or Susie: One of them is going to become Food Network's next star. If you were a betting person, who would you put your money on?

How lame is this show that the leader is only 2 percentage points ahead of someone who was eliminated weeks ago. Looks like Jeff is serving up an Apathy on Rye sandwich. Hold the suet, please.
I'll miss you Whitney, but this was the week the judges had to get rid of you before you cleaned everyone's clock in the Iron Chef challenge. I think if it was solely up to Bobby he would have kept you over Mary Beth. Hopefully you will end up on Cooking Channel where you can teach me how to cook the awesome four-star food that you prepare at Per Se while FN gets a guy who can make a sammich. If you are good enough for Thomas Keller, you are more than good enough for me.
Vert2013, thats an excellent point. Get yourself Susie F's job would ya!
Just a thought and I don't know if FN pays attention to these boards but maybe they should consider having only 10 finalist and cutting the weeks to about 8 . WE are faithful watchers, have been for 3 years but i think 3 months is a little to long. It semes like the producers run out of ideas for the challenges.
Why does FN put Bobby Flay on TV so much when he's widely hated?
Susie Fogelson has a face for radio. Get her off the TV!
There is a troll on this comment board who obviously has an unhealthy obsession with Whitney and won't stop posting racist comments about Susie. I'd be scared if I were Whitney (and possibly Susie).
