So there’s Christian on The Kitchen and judging on the Thanksgiving competition, but where’s Jess?

So far she's been to the New York City Food and Wine Festival in October as Her blog with photos shows.  So I expect she'll turn up on some judging show like Christian has sometime in the future.

Justin has shown up as a judge on Guy’s Grocery Games and that program where Guy has his friends cook at his ranch. 

It wouldn’t bother me if Jess was not on any other program. 

Right but until he got into Guy’s cliche he was no where to be seen after the hour long special in his visio.

I really had no idea in which thread to post this so I'm probably going get a citation from the Mods!

However, I need to unload something that has bothered me for some time. I constantly hear the judges telling contestants NOT to use the word "delicious" when describing food. I get it.

But why is "ooey gooey" ok to use over and over and over again? Especially Ms. Twig (Giada). Everything she describes is ooey gooey and any contestant who uses "ooey gooey" does not ever get chastisted for using this stupid, gross term for describing food. What exactly IS "ooey"? Is it an Italiano word? No. Is it even a word?  Sometimes I really hate this stupid show. Thank you for letting me vent.

Remember Linkie? I don’t know who this guy is, she and her husband split after her time on this show because she started traveling all over the place. She cooks on yachts or something .... but should she be worried about her hairline?

Wow! Yeah she definitely has a hair loss problem. 

Christian was a "permanent" judge on the Thanksgiving cook-off show (all of 3 episodes).  He had been a guest judge on Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay prior to being on FNS.   I don't believe Jess has been seen since "co-winning".  

 Last season was the worst yet.  And that's saying something with the Lenny season out there.  It's consistently one of their highest rated shows, but last year they shortened the season to 9 episodes.  Normally they would add contestants and make a popular show longer, not shorter.  Maybe even FN can't bear to sell the sham that one of these people will become a star and decided to drop the show.  That would be fine with me since it's become such a redundant charictiture of itself.  But I suspect we'll start seeing promos for it any day now after the Spring Baking ones are out of rotation.

When a “winner” is delegated to the background, you have to wonder how much backlash they got from viewers. I’d love to be a fly on the wall for those letters and meetings to discuss how to fix it.

True, it had to be bad with Jess Tom for them to put her on one minor thing then forget about her.  The public clearly did not like Tregaye Fraser and yet they still tried to shove her down the public's throat for a couple of years.

But then people liked Jason Smith and he was in a few things about a year ago and then disappeared.

One does have to wonder what they're thinking sometimes.

I won't admit how I know this, but Jess was one of the judges on the finale of Worst Cooks in America last season.  Apparently that's the one and only time she's been allowed out in public.

 As I was typing that, I had an inkling she had been seen somewhere post-win but couldn't figure out where or if she really had.  I do remember that now and also remember thinking how embarrassing it was.

Season 14 aired in mid June last year. I can find nothing on it being cancelled or airing at a later date. Maybe they are still making up their minds? Last season’s cluster with co-winners made me not want to watch again.

The Great Food Truck Race is airing Sunday’s at 9 starting in June. I think this show is finally dead!

Sorry don't remember who Aaron McCargo is. What season was  he on?

He won the 4th season of Food Network Star.  He had a show for a few years on FN called "Big Daddy's House" and has appeared occasionally on "Guy's Grocery Games" when Guy has FNS alums compete.  I haven't seen much else of him.  I guess now he's doing infomercials.
