Katie Cavuto Failed her Mid-Term


Well, episode 5 of season 5 of The Next Food network Star has come and gone, and contestant Katie Cavuto is gone with it. They called this week the Mid-term, and they gave Katie a failing grade.

Once again, I have to say…the judges blew it.

If they were going to eliminate Katie, one of the weeks that she served raw food would have been the time to do it. She had one of her best weeks this week, and now they decide it’s time for her to go. What got me the most was the criticism that her exaggerated facial expressions were too scary on camera. although they admitted they were fine in front of the kids. Why the judges believe they can breath life into contestants that are complete duds on camera, but can’t teach someone how to tone down their exuberance is beyond me. Katie, you may not have been the best, but you certainly deserved better.

FAVORITE MOMENT:
OK, I’m being sarcastic. Bobby Flay mentioned that Debbie is wearing thin the “I’m Korean”-thing. First of all, the challenges the contestants are put through every week have them in front of brand new audiences that haven’t heard that. Sure, the judges have, but that’s not Debbie’s fault. Second, what if someone asked Bobby to get through a cooking segment without using the words ancho, pablano, or blue corn? He might not have anything to say at all! “Hello, pot? This is the kettle”.
