Chica

What is the point of having a competition with points or how many stars a kid chef has earned if it doesn't secure a win? In the real world, those points count for something like being top of the class or a promotion. Maybe, next season, teams could win team stars---that way the stars represent team work and the competition could be anyone's game! I thought Gibson was a good contender for the win, but I didn't think he would win because he didn't earn the most "stars." Also, he is overweight and typically, TV shows only select cute and good-looking people. Although, lately, it seems that Food Network has been selecting people who are round. I applaud FN for selecting people from all shapes, sizes, and color; however, I still think the male gender dominate in many industries including food and TV. I would like to see more female gender and non-white people selected as winners during the first season of a show. Gibson showed creativity, talent, and spunk, but I don't think Gibson should have won because he seemed "coached," did not earn the most stars, did not cook the best meals, and he criticized his fellow competitors. He only appeared to be a team player towards the last few challenges. I wasn't impressed by his Philly and Egg roll on a stick. I think FN wanted to select someone to win from the East Coast because Coastal Cuisine lady didn't win Food Network Star and they wanted a kid chef to represent White All-American Boy who overcame bullism. Most importantly, Gibson was selected because he was Guy's favorite. Please, I'm tired of all the sob stories from victims who get advantages in competitions. Maybe, next season, the audience can choose the winner just like the Food Network Star?!
