I'm glad Nikki's getting a show but I don't like Mr. Deen. He needs to take smizing lessons from Tyra. In ads for the new season, there's a young man who could be Chad's son. Hair is just the same.

Also, Russell.... don't give FN ideas, they'll run with them and leave you in the dust. "Guilty Pleasures", his show idea, is now a show. Without him.

The biggest problem I had with Nikki (which was highlighted throughout her season) was her lack of general food knowledge. Not knowing what a rice pilaf is. Not understanding merchandising of her product. She was an internet food blogger and we all know there are a million of them out there.

I know I remember thinking it was a major upgrade. IIRC his kitchen was even nicer than his 1st set. One reason why Jeff was allowed to do that may have been because part of the show premise was him visiting different Chicago eateries then recreating some of their dishes.

Snarklepuss August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 As much as I liked Dom, I think he got on the show because of his connections with Bobby. I still think Bobby must have found him at the Saratoga track, where Dom takes his food truck every summer. When there are so many deserving candidates, it often comes down to "who you know". Then again I often wonder at the reasoning behind the choice of contestants on this show. I think a lot of them are "filler" in that the network knows in advance that it has no intentions of considering them for the win. There are probably only a small handful that are "real" contestants, if that. On seasons when they pick the winner they could very easily know in advance who they will choose.
