Tregaye's challenge was the worst. She could have used the 15 seconds she took to say "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" (or whatever it was) while pouring on the dressing to explain exactly what it was. But as usual, it's not about the food, it's about Tregaye being cute. This challenge was supposed to be based on that challenge only. In that case, Yaku should have beat her. Just looking at the glances between Bobby and Giada said it all. But I guess the judges still find her "poppin'", "on fleek" and overall sassiness to be hilarious.
I've tried to warm up to Damiano...I really have. But he is so charmless and full of himself. I will say that his pilot was-a pretty good-a.
When she did that "Gaaaa...", all I could think about was that Madea movie where that annoying baby mama of one of the children would make that sound all the time. I'm sorry that I cannot think of the specific movie or character, but I guess my point is please let us move on from this train wreck of a show. bobby, Giada, Tregaye...please put out your torch and leave the building.

I wonder why neither the Tennis Channel nor ESPN showed any of todays doubles matches (or maybe I just missed them). But I've been watching tennis off and on all day, and every time I turn on the tele, it's the Roger match or the Andy Murray match. They've each run 3 times already, and they're scheduled to run at least once more tonight.
ESPN did show some doubles, which was nice for a change.

Well, it was a CT machine, not an MRI, so no big magnets. I don't know enough about breast cancer staging to call foul at the "Stage 0" diagnosis with a bilateral mastectomy treatment plan ("They want to cut my tits off."). Seems extreme for Stage 0.
The wife of a guy in our office was diagnosed at Stage 0. I know she had to have the lump excised and go through radiation. I am not educated on all of this, so it's the extent of any "real" knowledge. I felt like it was Abby just being overly dramatic.

Yeah, that red and white outfit looked like he bought it at Lane Bryant. (women's plus-size store).
Those pants. SIT. DOWN. SIR.

What the fresh hell did I just watch? It seemed like a mash-up of "Chopped," "Cake Wars" and "Cutthroat Kitchen."
First of all, with the exception of "The Kitchen" (and I'm really stretching here) none of the existing FN shows address food trends, which I guess now involve food art. My point being, other than throwing a few presentation tips here and there, none of the other show hosts go to great detail to create masterpieces on the plates. I also thought that having Duff as the judge was an odd choice. I've watched many of his cake shows and it seems to me that all of his employees do the hands-on creative work and Duff just delivers the final product as his work. So for that challenge, FAIL.
Next, those two hipster doofuses could leave at any time. It make me a bit weepy that Matthew didn't survive the comeback show to throw him in with those two losers. They could have all tried to out-douche one another. Yeah, I also didn't get what was causing Bobby and Giada to giggle so hysterically during the assignment of the horrible food combos. Giada's squeaky giggle is working my last nerve.
The disappointment on Bobby's face that Rob wasn't the second coming of Guy Fie"dd"i after all was truly heartbreaking. Dude deserved to go. It was the second week in a row that it was clear that he was disgusted with and lacked enthusiasm towards whatever he made. If Sandra Lee could taste some of her horrible concoctions with a straight face (most of the time) and proclaim "sodalicious," then the big lug could have sucked it up and at least pretended that whatever he made was worth trying.
I fail to understand why Ana keeps sliding by. Bobby seems very enamored with her cooking (and maybe her ... she's blonde after all.) She has zero camera presence and I'm still shocked that she was on a Real Housewives franchise show. Those women have some moxie and are major fame whores. Not this one.
Seriously. Joy had never heard of kimchee? It seems like she has a very narrow exposure to food as well as major fear and disdain of anything new, especially them "fer-in" ingredients. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for a "food authority."
Damiano is an arrogant jerk. It was pretty funny (and embarrassing) to watch him interact with the YouTube dudes. He either doesn't have a good enough grasp or English to comprehend the challenge or he's just dumb. Either way, he doesn't belong in front of the camera hosting a show, especially if nobody can understand him.
"On Fleek" can go at any time. The problem is, she actually seems pretty good on all fronts. She just needs to tone the cutesy sass and catch phrases WAY DOWN. "Love Chef" and his not-so-subtle sexual innuendos can also hit the door any day now. I really don't care to watch somebody prepare food where every dish comes across as having aphrodisiac potential. Thirty-two kids? No thanks and I don't want to get started by following one of his recipes.
I get the impression that having one's own show is no longer a done deal, so why not make the hoops to jump through as ridiculous as possible? I can also see on the other side why people like Ana, aren't trying that hard to win. As somebody else mentioned, this show just seems like entertainment these daysand injects a huge much needed boost into FN's summer ratings and advertising revenue. Seriously, this year there is not one rootable contestant.
They're interjecting too much influence from social media into this season. I don't care that everyone is Instagram'ing pictures of food. There's also a lot of IG posts with people's feet in a pool but that doesn't mean I need a food show built around it.

Good Mythical Morning + watchable Food Network Star. Will it? The answer is "No."

Giada, time to put out your torch and exit the building.

Can someone please explain to me what was so freaking funny to Bobby and Giada this entire episode? It was bordering on total absurdity. They keep throwing these contestants into randomly abnormal situations where guests hosts are doing nothing outside of trying to sidetrack them. Is this a cooking show or a "how we be better than 2 YouTuber's?" show? I'm okay with Rob going home since he has not done that great with his presentations (again, caveat to ridiculous here), but Anna has got to go at some point. And FNS, stop stealing from Top Chef - Salvation Kitchen? Ok, rant over. Thanks for playing.

My favorite show ruined, as others have stated above. I also don't like the strong presence of "seasoned" kids on this show who have already been afforded many opportunities, even if on reality TV. If you're going to trot them out and have them be emotional and cry, let's at least feel genuine about some of them who haven't been out on various TV shows. Not meant to belittle anything that has happened to these kids, as bullying and such is abhorrent.

Thanks for the summary, SoCal Mema. I imagine Ellen has a say in which guests are booked, so inviting him in the first place still seems very weird to me. I genuinely believe the guy's mentally ill.
Be interesting to see if she ever invites him back.
She did not seem particularly bothered about his rant...she just sat quietly and let him go on and on. Perhaps it's because she knew they could edit and filter what was needed. It was almost as if she was pacifying him. I've been to previous tapings and none of them ever had such an awkward guest.

I was at the Ellen taping with Kanye. I have to admit I was disappointed when I found out he was the guest. I am not a fan of his music, or anything else. His connection with the Kardashian's is an automatic NO. Ellen seemed really uncomfortable having him on. I am kind of curious what she expected. I will say that during the breaks of the taping, she did not show any displeasure or anger, albeit she did seem rather quiet and stunned by his going off. The first part of the interview was awkward when she was asking about the family - having to pull answers out of him. Then he started his cursing (used the f-bomb a lot), and Ellen's comment that it was going to be interesting to see how the show was edited to view his portion. He also sucked at that 5-second game. The majority of the audience hated his appearance and most were asking WTF.

Chiming in for the first time on this crazy express, as mentioned above. So happy to have a seat. I'm so done with Kelly. I don't watch the show, but she has just displayed nothing more than mean girl behavior since this whole thing played out. Ok, you were hurt, move on. I'm sure there are a lot out there who like Kelly. The continued tension on set, the back-handed jabs and other such nonsense is just demeaning to her as an adult. Sitting back down on the back row now.

Holy crackers on the Air Force Cadets episode! I had no idea. What was even more stunning and unbelievable to me was when the stats were revealed post all these incidents. From 2012-2014, rape in the Air Force Academy jumped by 40%.

Whoops! Well that clears that up. Since no one else in this thread mentioned a particular one, I thought Alcatraz was the only one. But, now that you mention it, I have heard of the other one.
While I guess the answer would be clear if the kid was shown with one or no shoes, I didn't notice it. I guess it could have been his shoe, after all. So, I guess that would sort of make the porch decorations ironic. Kinda.
I believe the prison referred to was not Alcatraz, but Pelican Hill.

It looks like Zeke's hands/shoes in the forefront of the picture, so not totally buying into him being the one at risk.

I'm just SO ready for CNN to drop the "BREAKING NEWS" that sits atop every single storyline, every single minute, for every single story that is...well...NOT breaking news.

YES! Thank you...killed me all night trying to remember.

Who is the actor that played Simon, the ex-boyfriend?

I can generally watch an episode in 15 minutes or less when using the fast forward button on my remote. That means whizzing by all Katie Lee-commentary. And is it just me, or does she have beaver teeth? I just cannot take her and she adds no value to this show for me. Zakarian has had a few good recipes on this show, but he has to be taken in small doses.
MSNBC: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Vaulted)
in Political Network Talk
It really isn't much of a story. He always felt he was thrust into the limelight after his father's death and he was being called to speak so much right afterwards and it morphed into a position at MSNBC. It was never his intent to follow in his father's footsteps. He left to go pursue the things he'd always wanted to do, travel, and felt bowing out right before the convention was the best time. I read an article on this and did not get the sense that there was any deeper underlying story or gossip around it. I think it was pretty much known that there were some who were rankled by his ascension, and he had always been up front that he never intended to go into politics/journalism.
