I can't stand both Bob Tushman and Susie Fogelsong. I haven't really liked any of the winners either (especially Big Daddy's House guy).

Me, me, me!

I enjoy most reality shows where the contestants are actually trying to accomplish something (not just backstab and lie).

Project Runway & Top Chef top my list, too!

Seems like a show I could become a fan of. Think I'll give it a go!

P.S. Why do so many posters seem to have peace symbol picture-thingys (avatars?)...any particular reason apart from generally being a peace/theatre-loving tribe?

I don't who started it or why, but I liked the motif and jumped on the bandwagon with it!

Ah, I see. That is so nice. I guess it doesn't mean much coming from an anonymous stranger, but I also add my best wishes and good vibes to iflitifloat.

They need to sexy out the kitchen, through the back door to the alley where it belongs.

Love this show too! The only bad thing is Bobby Flay. I cannot stand him.

I like Susie (although I think when you become an executive you should drop the "ie") and Tushman doesnt bother me.

I was disappointed in Jess Kagel who came off just bitchy.

Also will dvr Masterchef tonite.

Interesting as in 'I speak Pashto'?

or interesting as in 'You should see what I have in my crawl space'?

This show is NO Top Chef. But I'm kind of obsessed with Alysha and Penny and their hate parade. And I kinda want to bounce on Justin D's belly.

For someone who's trying to "bring sexy back", Penny is the least sexy cook I've ever seen. That first take where she tried to look sexy over her shoulder was hilarious.

I think they are both plants, robbie! Liteally and figuratively.

I love them both and want t-shirts with their faces on them. I don't care how fake it is. I actually started to applaud when Alysha started crying!

I was truly shocked when Orchid was eliminated.

orchid was less than impressive the last FEW weeks. My son said the same exact thing about Whitney -- I would think that would actually hurt her in the long run.

I don't have a favorite, yet...but I cannot WAIT for Penny to get kicked off -- damn her good food.

Penny may win this. They need a personality, and she and Vic are about the only memorable people left. Orchid was an early favorite, but she never progressed. Penny would fill a gap in their spectrum of food styles. The Mexican chick is also OK, but they already have someone similar in their schedule.

I was not surprised to see Orchid go. She was cute, had a great smile and was always pleasant and likeable. I think she'd make a great sister-in-law. But not a great star.

I'm rooting for:
Suzy - good personality and food I'd like to learn to make.
Jeff - fun to watch, easy to look at, he made tofu taste good!
Mary Beth - funny, but in the way you like your friends to be funny. But she needs to step it up on the food. Otherwise, she's just a smart ass Martha Stewart without the talent.

The rest can leave any time now, preferably in the following order
Chris - why is he even still here?
Penny - watching mean people is only fun when they're being mean and you can love to hate them. If she were alone on a show. I'd just have a vague memory of hating her and wouldn't watch. Maybe they should pair her up on a show with Mary Beth. That I'd watch!
Whitney - like watching food cook itself. Is she even awake?!
Jyll - Like they've been saying, good food, but too fake. that may change though.

Vic is fun to watch and he keeps improving. Penny may have good food, but her look and demeanor are so harsh and unappealing, I would never choose to watch or listen to her do anything. Mary Beth's personality is okay, but like Jyll, she often seems forced and insincere. Whitney is boring and clueless. Jyll bugs me to no end. She's a Rachel Ray wanna-be and the world does not need any more Rachel Rays. Cris has improved a bit, but he's still too immature to handle the job. Jeff has good food and bad ideas. Susie is pretty consistent and I think it will be between her and Vic.

I wasn't surprised by Orchid's exit. She fell apart every time she was asked to speak and her food wasn't much better.

The camera doesn't love Penny, so I can't see people ever wanting to watch her show.
