There's that "inspires us" phrase that seems to be a staple of some who would argue that Melissa's show is not for them. Well, Beuhla. You are certainly an observant person. Even recalling the color of Amy's set. That's impressive. I hope others notice this gift you have. Maybe you should come out of the shadows and "login" so people like myself who are incredibly impressed at your recollection powers can follow your comments closely and be "inspired" by your great wisdom. Please. Do me a solid and "login". I would hate to be let down and find out you're just another fly by night person who just posts comments under a variety of different names just to antagonize people. Please say it ain't so.

You know who might agree with your comment? The following people might: SueAtkinson Foodie too Manny rosesherwood Cheft As well as a host of other people who think and post comments just like yours.

See first hand what it's about and then make a determination whether it's a show for you or not. If it's not then the solution is to not watch it. On the other hand if what you enjoy doing is belittling things you know nothing about then continue expressing your opinion. You're revealing what you're all about with your rage. Jack B Numbnutts, you need to simmer down. It's only television. If Melissa strikes you as a phony, don't watch her show. What will all this ranting and raving accomplish? Change the network's mind? I think you over estimate the power your ramblings have. And I also think you over estimate the importance of you opinion. It is after all, only one of many. And it appears you fall in the minority on this debate. So your opinion of little importance is even diminished all the more by the sheer number of opinions that outnumber your puny little sad numbers. Your opinion is of no consequence. Maybe you need to resign yourself to that fact, little one.

None of us know who voted for Jeffery. It could have been Bobby. We can only make silly assumptions. And it's not outrage that I'm expressing. I'm lampooning the absolutely ridiculous vindictive statements being lobbed at the Food Network and their roster of people for no other reason than to undermine Melissa and her supporters.

Interesting. Coming to the defense of SueAtkinson. Hmmm. With the very same type of writing style and language she has a penchant for using. Hmmmmm. To quote Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that." Fri, 7 Aug 2009 14:47:48 +0000 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/susies-answers-finale/#IDComment29941740 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/sneak-peek-melissas-new-show/#IDComment29941141 The voting is legitimate. What's not legitimate is the dialogue here. If one is to follow certain people here you'll notice they gush all over each other's comments: "Great comment! Well researched! We think alike." Their spelling errors seem to be the same. They continually find each other and concur on a sickeningly sweet level. It's like watching "synchronized swimmers" in action. My suspicion is that some of these people trying to push our buttons are but one individual. So luvcookin, don't let these silly people/person who spend more time blogging than they do actually cooking in the kitchen rile you up. They're just playing at a silly game that doesn't have a positive outcome for them. They're just embarrassing themselves over and over again.

Or are you one and the same? Well nevermind. If one's comments are contrary to yours does it mean we are young and lacking knowledge? It would appear from your condescending words (and not just here in this comment) you're implying that the world at large is not up to your standards. Perhaps that's the reason you find such fault with the Food Network. Maybe they'll never live up to your standards. You might want to try life from the stand point of us lowly people out here in the "real" world. If not I'm sad for how lonely life is there in your castle.

I just replied to this very same comment elsewhere. Sue are you obsessing posting duplicate comments all over the place? What gives? Anywho, if you want my reply to this it's over at . . . geez louise. I forget where it is. Oh well, I'm sure you can find it. Fri, 7 Aug 2009 08:39:06 +0000 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/sneak-peek-melissas-new-show/#IDComment29883106 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/susies-answers-finale/#IDComment29882587 Toodles! But I'll be running into you as one of your other aliases I'm sure. I think there are at least three to four names you've been using. You may try to avoid the same spelling errors across the board to make it easy to spot you when you're "incognito".

What problem? Bully? Acid comments? I have only been replying to the over the top ridiculous comments. I find a perverse amusement in giving people a taste of their own medicine to see how they enjoy what they themselves dish out. And so far most of them just don't care to much for the recipe they resort to time and time again. You talk about variety on Food Network but all you offer in your comments is complaints about how awful the Food Network and the judges are.

I think you hit it right on the head. You've got a handle on Melissa's world. Yep. You're so smart you know what someone else's situation is all about. Geez. I wish I was as smart as you. If I was as smart as you I'd probably know just how to get on a blog and tear apart someone I had no clue about. Someone who got themselves a dream job while I sat home crying the blues about the Food Network. Crying about their choices for shows that I watch sitting on my big rump while not even visiting my kitchen once. I'm such a loser I wish I was you Barbara. You sound spiffy keen smart and successful. Golly Gee. I wish I was Barbara the blog poster wonderful person. But alas I'm not Barbara.

You seem paranoid. This web site is apparently not working to well for your well being. It's causing you much too stress. I recommend you listen to Alton Brown's advice and "Walk Away". It's not good for your health to deal with the high stress of posting on this blog. You may need a vacation from the Susie world.

You're far from done. You'll post opinion after opinion after opinion after opinion after opinion . . . . . . Fri, 7 Aug 2009 00:24:09 +0000 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/susies-answers-finale/#IDComment29835922 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/07/ask-susie-finale/#IDComment29783693 Perhaps I can help you with his question Lisa. Let me put it another way so you might understand where he's coming from. "I wanted Jeffery to win!! I wanted Jeffery to win!!! Why didn't he win?? No Fair!! Why didn't he win??" I think that about sums up what Jack_B_NumbNutts was trying to say. Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:52:45 +0000 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/07/ask-susie-finale/#IDComment29783693 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/sneak-peek-melissas-new-show/#IDComment29778915 I never said that! What's the point of voting? Game Over Man! Voting is a moot point at this stage of the game. I think you're mistaking me with someone obsessed about the results. "Get your Friends to vote"??? What the? My friends have better things to do with their time than vote on a contest that's finished. I would make myself a laughing stock if I did that. Geez! Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:41:42 +0000 http://stageblog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/08/sneak-peek-melissas-new-show/#IDComment29778915 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/fn-dish/2009/07/ask-susie-finale/#IDComment29745326 THAT'S IT! It's fear! Bobby Flay is trembling in his boots about Jeffery. Why didn't I think of that? I know why I didn't think of that. It's a far fetched desperate attempt at undermining Melissa's win. Maybe that's why I'm not promoting these conspiracy theories. "Susie, Bob. I have to vote for Melissa. I'm just so afraid Jeffery is so good at making steak sandwiches he's going to cause my eventual demise on the Food Network. Sorry guys. I just can't have that happen." I did some research and found a set of transcripts from the deliberations. That's where that quote comes from.

I may start a blog on this here conspiracy. I better round up some of my redneck buddies and see what we can com up with. Don't worry wkaren, marybeth, SueAtkinson. I'm on it!!

Not everyone is as wonderful and adventurous as you. I bet if you were a bit open minded you would have the capacity to hear other's opinions without feeling you have to better it with rudeness. Maybe being just a teensy bit open minded would allow you to assume that Melissa's show would most definitely not be just about chicken. Or are you just being sarcastic because you're sad and depressed because Jeffery ended up as the loser? I think you're Mo depressed than Jeffery is about being a loser.

It's your husband I pity if you're married. You must submit him to some annoying complaining if you take these liberties with strangers. I would venture to guess you have been divorced at least once already. Am I right Leyla?

While oceanbreeze can improve her cooking with cookbooks, there are no books out there to help rude and immature people like yourself to improve your dour personality.
