However, I think he'd be a great host of a show more like Emeril's last show...one with an audience and party atmosphere. His food always seemed really yummy and he interacts so well with people. I think I'd watch a show with the blonde chick the most.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss Debbie's still there because Jamika crumbled. It doesn't matter if Debbie lied or forgot to use the capers...she's good on cam and can take the pressure. Jamika clearly could not take the pressure, and it affected her psyche and her performance.

A lot of other people have said as much in the comments on Bob's blog (<a href="http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/07/20/the-capers-caper/#comments" target="_blank">http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bo...comments</a>).
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Before the show last night, I said I would watch a show with everyone but Debbie. I was sad to see Jamika go as I really thought she had great potential. She just really crumbled. Debbie really needs to go next. I still think Jeffrey will win. He just has such an ease about him.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 We just watched the show last night and man I don't like Debbie.

With the clips they have shown of her, I don't see how she could win, who would watch? Very cool that your DD and DH saw Melissa mele A "celebrity" sighting is always fun.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Oh, just thought of this. I saw an episode of "Big Daddy's House" from last season and Aaron had Adam Gertler (one of the other finalists) on his show. It was really nice to see them cooking together and they said they were friends. Adam has his own show now and it's pretty funny to watch
Originally Posted By mele Debbie really irritated me when she said that everyone was ganging up on her. They called her on lying but it wasn't exactly what I would call ganging up on her. A couple of questions isn't "ganging up". I'm tired of her saying she's Korean mulitple times an episode. She also said something like "I hope I can prove that I can cook" (badly paraphrasing). I think they know that the people there can cook, it's not just about cooking, especially at this stage of the game. I don't think she intentionally lied about the capers to be sneaky or even that she left them out on purpose. It's the fact that she so instantly lied to cover up her mistake instead of just copping to her mistake. That's a seriously awful character trait. She's always got an excuse.
