FOOD NETWORK STAR
I think the next star is going to be the
african american heavy set man. He has a great personality, and puts on a good program. The two guys that work together are good too. After that the Caribbean girl would do a good program too. Harmony was just abit to sixties for todays show. And the one with the bandaged finger should go back to acting school for afew lessons. Its all a tough.....but the heavy set black Negro will top out. Master chef Charles Gilead Lake Kitchens <html><body bgcolor="black" text="white"></html> |

But I watched a funny/embarrassing moment as a speaker was introduced at a large function (1300 people). He was black and from France. The president of the organization said he was a "distinguished African-American..." to a room where all conversation abruptly stopped to create the quietest quiet I've ever heard in a crowd. It only works in the U.S. and only when the person wants it to. I think of myself as Italian-American. One denotes ancestry, the other citizenship. Pastorio |

Yeah. My grandparents were born in Italy and I refer to myself as Italian American. Nobody has a problem with that. |

He was eliminated. I'm hoping for Hans, or maybe Dan & Steve, which would be a funny show. Anyone but Susannah. (The bandaged one.) She annoys the living daylights out of me. Not sure why, exactly, except that she is one note, and strikes me as extremely phony. Also, they have enough "diet" shows already. kimberly > |

Exactly... why would they need ANOTHER show telling you how to make fat-free flavour-free food in miniscule portions? They've already got one of them and her recipes don't seem to be any different. But she might well win because people are obsessed with diets. -- ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com |

Hardly any personality shows, at all. She's "on" when the camera's on her and instantly "off" when it isn't. I like Hans - don't know if he'll relax enough to make it - didn't like the really heavy guy, and don't like the black woman very much - she's just sloppy or something. I like the *** pair. I was glad to see the Afro-haired jitterbug gone. He was just too over the top. I liked Harmony, and am sorry she didn't get very far. N. |

In my lifetime, I've heard negro, colored, black, and African-American insisted on as proper by black folks (I settled on number 3). A black lady friend of mine prefers "black". A younger black cow orker chastised me for using black and not being PC and using A-A. I told him I didn't get the memo. nb |

Absolutely flawless, but you couldn't call it brown. His name was Charles and he had that wonderful South African accent. He was absolutely gorgeous, but the problem was, he knew it. Sigh. kili |

I thought of that after I sent my post last night. Black, black, black. And I think it's gorgeous, too. Too bad about Charles. Carol -- Coming at you live, from beautiful Lake Woebegon |
