Please get rid of Debbie, She has no ethics, she thinks she is above everyone else and fibs to make herself look good.
Have you heard that Debbie is Korean? I think she said that she was Korean. Oh…PLEASE boot her. She lies and then tries to cover it up. P L E A S E…I won’t watch the show if she’s the host. Oh…and have you heard that Debbie is Korean?
I am currently watching the Sunday night segment….love Melissa: authenic, loveable & good cook. She’s a keeper! The average American woman, be it stay-at-home OR works in the business world, can relate to her.
I can’t believe you got rid of Debbie, I think she would have offered something different to the food network, I think Jeffrey is incredibly boring and Melissa doesn’t move me at all, she acutally annoys me. Another housewife, how new and different!!!!! I think the food network has become an incredibly borning station, yours shows are safe and generic. I miss the old food network, I enjoy top chef much more and think this is it for me – PBS, travel channel and Bravo – thats the way to go.
Debbie is fun to watch! When she smiles, she
looks so beautiful! She is a perfect host and
she can cook. People who loves food will definitely
watch her shows. We want
some varieties, more internationally represented.
Anyway, whoever has the best cooking talents
and tv personality should win. Not because
“she is Korean or not!”
I think melissa should win she has been threw a lot and her life style has a story that can draw u in wanting to know more
Melissa has shown flexibility and has run with every challenge that you’ve given her. She has much more well rounded experience than Jeffrey.
Melissa plans well and she is very organized. I would enjoy watching a program that features her.
It seems that each time you throw Melissa a curve she rises to the challenge. Jeffrey keeps going back to his one claim to fame.
Melissa has learned from her life experiences and is able to bring those experiences to life.
Jeffrey acts as though he’s doing us a favor by his very presence. I would not watch a program that features Jeffrey.
I am so relieved that the “experts” did not fall into the rut of looking for a “what don’t we have” star? I lived in S. Korea for 7 years, and cook Asian cultured foods. Have NOT been impressed watching Debbie! (Yawn!) Sorry to say, but when I tune in to watch Food Network, I will NOT want to watch a man with an artificial smile, who wants you to believe he is comfortable cooking in front of millions of fans! Jeffrey needs to be eliminated now. I cannot think of a better personality for a new, HIT show, than to tune in to watch Melissa, who radiates sunshine, confidence, and a genuine LOVE to be in the kitchen, cooking!! What a thrill she is to watch. Her personality is infectious!!!
One more comment, while I am at it, “panel of experts!” I believe that facial expressions say a lot about what you are thinking and feeling, when you sit and judge the candidates on your “looking for the next Food Network Star.” Something tells me, that there are some things said and done, by candidate Jeffrey, that you are not necessarily impressed or thrilled, with. Go with your instincts. I would wager that you can visualize yourselves with the sunny personality of Melissa, cooking side by side with you, rather than Jeffrey, who I am sensing does not extend a sense of kinship, with you! In this case, Melissa is the best bet for high ratings! And, she can cook!
Finally! you got rid of Debbie, she should have been gone on the first show for shorting her shopping partner.
Debbie could have taken this competition hands down!
She is such a liar,I’ll bet she’s not even Korean!!!
Ha Ha AAAAAAAH!!!!!
I give Debbie (is she Korean or something?) a lot of credit. She went out on a limb and tried to show the world that she can cook anything, with that Korean inspired menu last night! My goodness, what an annoying, worthless human being.
Extremely disappointed that Jefferey was not crowned the Next Food Network Star. I think you should re-visit your decision and somehow find a place for Jeffrey. He is extremely captivating and has a glow in his eyes that can hold anyone’s attention.
Very poor decision with Melissa. I don’t think she will have the following that Jeffery would have had and Jeffrey’s followers would have been loyal and there every week for his show.
Extremely Upset!!!!!
Get rid of Debbie. She has now “obfuscated” the truth three times! A team does not need this kind of personality.
