Summer is certainly the time for your C level reality shows and one of my favorites returned over the weekend in the form of The Next Food Network Star. While it’s a poor cousin to Top Chef it will definitely satisfy the foodie in me if the premiere is any indication. This year’s group of TV wannabees includes:
• a boy genius who served raw pork in the premiere
• a Rachel Ray style cheerleader fresh out of school
• a fashion plate diva who want to make a cooking show about community outreach
• an Indian immigrant who doesn’t know how to spice curry
Yes while it’s not quite the bottom of the barrel like Hell’s Kitchen, Star does tend to scrape together some rather untalented or uninteresting folks. The previews also seem to indicate this won’t be quite the love fest that previous seasons have been. In the end the challenges are always fun and the judges table always features some quite moments. Oh yeah and Giada is always about too
Sundays 9:00pm CST., Food Network, Premiered June 1st
