Good News!

Remember when I watched the fourth season of The Next Food Network Star?  And how I really wanted Kelsey to win because she and I could totally be friends?  And then Kelsey was eliminated?  And then it was down to Lisa, Adam, and Aaron?  And Lisa was great but too perfect and Adam was funny but relied too heavily on his humor?  And remember when I was upset that Aaron won?  (No offense, Aaron fans.)

Well, in my heart, I’m going to pretend that Adam did win because he has his own show on the Food Network.  For all my fellow Adam fans, it starts in January and is called Will Work for Food.  I’m not going to lie:  I feel kind of avenged.  I feel like Food Network just wrote me a letter that said, “You were right.”  Obviously, I’m very excited for Adam’s new show, especially because right after he didn’t win, Food Network debuted a show that was suspiciously like the one he pitched.  You may know it as Ask Aida, and I may know it as, “That was Adam’s idea!”

While we’re on the subject of people who should have won but didn’t, can someone hook Kelsey up with a TV show?  Please?  I need my just-out-of-college demographic represented.  I know Dave Lieberman had his own thing going on at one point, but where is he now?  I need more Daves and Kelseys, more people who probably understand what it’s like to be twenty-something with a college degree and a tiny apartment and student loan payments and a budget spreadsheet (oh, yes, I did) and cooking for one.  Sorry, Rachael Ray, I don’t think you get me … and I certainly don’t get you or why you abbreviate and explain what it means (defeats the purpose) or why you think selling a bowl specifically for garbage for the low, low price of twenty dollars is a good idea.  I mean, Dave Lieberman probably isn’t going to sell me anything that’s twenty bucks.

I probably watch too much Food Network for my own good, don’t I?
