She pretty much sums up everything I wanted to say. Hey Food Network, you can do better than Amy!!!! I don’t think I can improve on what Sue(comment #15 2/12/08) said.

Honestly--look at who is still on food network.Sara Moulton or Paula Deen? Viewers look for personality first--not sophistication! If I'm making profiteroles I'm turning to cookbooks, not tv.

Rory should have won by default. Rory has more personality and livelier than Amy. Big mistake to bring Amy back. Come to think of it, had that guy not been kicked out, Amy was actually only placed third. What a big mistake to bring her back. Really poor judgment by Food TV. The show "Search For the Next Food Network Star", lost any credility with Amy. I don't think it can recover.

Her wardrobe is horrendous. Her recipes are boring. She was voted off the show and she should have stayed off. She sucks. Her wardrobe is horrendous. Her recipes are boring.

Every time I watch I keep thinking she looks like Medusa. Sorry, call me shallow but that's what I see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa She needs to cut her hair short, then I could pay more attention to her cooking.

Her recipes are practical, but fun, and she explains things clearly. She has a nice voice, not loud like Rachel Ray. I like Amy very much.

It's a low budget show - basically 6 test pilots. Future: I'd love to see them put her into a different kind of show where she is more in her element of personal chef. Maybe going across America as the Gourmet Next Door - your personal chef for the day! Food Network already has a dozen shows that teach us how to cook in a fully stocked studio kitchen...I'd like to see more of it happening inside our homes.

One pet peeve: she says "Okay" way too much; maybe that's being petty of me, but nobody has a right to a TV show. On the other hand, I'm no fan of Giada or Sarah Lee or Rachael, either. I think she's a better cook than they are. Dunno if she will last. I don't see much effort by TFN to promote her; probably they're just letting her play out her string and then bye-bye.
