Food Network Star Recap: POV MPV DMV KFC ASAP


As consequence for Martie running way over, Frenchie needs to condense her section and basically she says “Can and Jam” and “it’s great on pancakes.”  And Guy is, kind of, a dick to Frenchie.  The judges love her sauce, and feel she maintained her calm, and they recognize that she got the shaft.


Frenchie’s Apple Sauce.  A trick or a treat?  I think we both know the answer to that one.

Here is the timing breakdown:

Justin presented for 2 min 5 sec

Judson presented for 2 min 55 sec

Martie presented for 3 min 15 sec

Frenchie presented for 1 min 45 sec

Susie notes that they didn’t rise to the occasion, personality-wise.

Team Bobble Head is up next and they are all ready for Football.  They even have the “sun glare” stripes painted under their eyes and they enter the set tossing the football around.  They look super sporty and manly… until they show Ippy with his hair in a ballerina bun.


Can I borrow your bump-it?

Yvan starts off the “Game Day” festivities with his little brother’s favorite boneless wings… with a side of bones.   Instead of de-boning, Yvan will show the audience how to make beer batter.  The Judges thing he has good energy and he’s not acting like he’s on meth this week.  He is warm and his wings are good.  I’m guessing no one got the chicken bone.  He hands it off to Ippy, the stoner ballerina.

Ippy demonstrates how to make his teriyaki sauce, and he hands Guy his “teriyaki slider.” See?  I told you there would be a burger…  The judges note that is not there favorite dish.


I have sun glare stripes to match my, seemingly, endless array of hideous shirts

Martita makes a Vegetarian Quesadilla.  The Judges love it and think she is very warm and welcoming and it doesn’t hurt that her jugs are, practically, falling out of her top.  


Need help juggling those ta-tas?  I mean, Tacos?

Linkie demos her football shaped cookie- that she has “elevated” into art.  I’d like her to elevate that cookie INTO MY BELLY- it looks delicious.  Linkie stumbles a little, but the judges think she was successful.  Susie is all over that cookie like a pit bull on a ham bone.


I’m famished.  I only had a small hyena for lunch.

Overall the Judges like Team Bobble Head and think they were super-interactive with Guy.

It’s Team Bobby’s turn to take the stage for “Cooking for Kids,” and they have divided their segment into Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.  Nikki is up first and begins to demo her smoothie.  She puts all of the stuff in the blender, turns it on and then looks at Guy like a dumbass.  The blender keeps going and going… finally Guy says “Ok, moving onto lunch…”  The Judges like her pizza and smoothie although they don’t think the kids will like the Smoothie.

Gangster greets Guy with “Are you my brother?”  Everyone laughs.  Gangster shows her healthy Italian turkey meatball with spaghetti squash.  The Judges loved Gangster and thought she was a star!


She’s my brotha from another mutha

Malcolm, I think, made chicken skewers.  He is so busy painting the plate saying “Play with your food” that we never see his chicken or get to hear anything about his kids.  (Malcolm has kids, who knew?)  The Judges like his fun sauces and presentation- but wish that he has used the “Dad-Angle” a little.


Isn’t she a little young to be your prom date? 
(Just teasing’ y’all, that’s Malcolm and his daughter… awwwww) 

 They bring in a bunch of kids- and hang onto your seats…. They hated Nikki’s Smoothie.


Poopie ka ka

As the contestants await their results, in walk Gigantor and Bob.  They say that there were some good presentations and some bad presentations.  They had such a hard time deciding who won that they’ve pulled a switcheroo on us.  There will be TWO WINNING TEAMS, and everyone on the losing team will compete in the producer’s challenge.  And the lowest scoring contestant will have to scram.  Team Bobble and Team Bobby are the winners… and Team Alton is on the chopping block.

    Alton Brown showed heart twice this episode. When he hugged Martie, I had the same reaction as when Sheldon hugged Penny. It was almost like he was a human boy. Loves Alton and sorry that he lost a team member. I hope he wins but I think Bobblehead’s team has it in the bag.

    Great recap! Curses, Team Alton, foiled again!

    Really, Martie? Got to half of what you wanted to say? What did we miss? Recap of season one of Downton Abbey? Analysis of the Pacquiao v bradley decision? Because that blur of words coming out of your mouth was enough. What is going to be her POV? “The best thing you never made because it took too long for me to get the ingredients together because I was telling you about the time my momma and her sister Lou got drunk and burned some cookies and fire department got called in and…”

    Please let Nicki be next, if only because of that smoothie ( Kids of america – sorry!) and her girl doing a grill or grill me, baby POV. Watch out, Flay – you could be getting your own brand of searing if she corners you. :)

    To be honest, I gotta say I’d like to see Ippy win, ballerina bun or not… he would be something completely unique to the Food Network, I don’t think they’ve ever had a Hawaiian chef before. I was in Hawaii once in 1992 where my family and I attended a luau, and we thought that the food, the culture, and everything about it was absolutely awesome. Usually, I’m not a fan of those shows where it’s just a person cooking and talking, but I think I would actually watch one of those shows about Hawaii. :-)

    I think the forced the FF ( formerly fattie) POV on Pickle. He was trying to avoid being ” that formerly fat guy chef.” but they wouldn’t let it go. I liked him and would have much rather seen Meemaw martie and her nonsensical ramblings gone.
    Frenchie FTW

    I really like Judson, and personally – I thought the fact that he was “ashamed” of being overweight in his past would have added a great element to his POV. Allowing him to GROW into that was a great storyline AND I think it would have made for a good show in the end. Plus, he did WELL in the challenge, while Martie screwed Frenchie over in time!

    Martie drives me CRAZY. I mute the tv when she’s one. I cannot stand to listen to her, because I can’t even make out what she is saying half the time. It’s just ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble.

    This episode did NOT make me happy… Just saying.

    I totally agree that Martie should have gone first, but Judson was a short-timer – his food just wasn’t very inventive. I am totally on Team Vampoor (Justin). He is so creative and imaginative – I would love to see a show about unusual ways to team/present food. I like Ippy, as well, but I just think Justin brings something fresh and new – IF he can work on his presentation skills.

    Justin is definitely an early fave, for me. Linkie and Martita also seem rather cool.

    Ippy, as much as I like his carefree-ness, I believe would promptly put viewers into a boredom-induced coma LOL.

    Good to see I’m not the only one who hits the MUTE button when Martie opens her mouth. It kills me that Bob T. and Alton encourage her. Hoping that they get rid of Granny panties soon and that Justin and Emily continue to do well…

    I’m on Team Vampoor. He would really be a hit if someone would wipe the blood, er lipstick, off his lips before airtime.

    I cannot stand listening to Marti, looking at Marti, or imagining eating anything by Marti. I want to close my eyes and hum lalalala until her part of each show is over.
