Okay, so last night Brian and I finally got to watch the season premiere of The Next Food Network Star. We enjoy calling out our favorite chefs after only watching the first five minutes of contestant introductions. Then we watch as the weeks go by to see if our favorites rise to the occasion or make a sad exit.

After the intro my three fave guys were Brad (cute kid with hat), Herb (former chubby guy with muscles) and Das (Dr. Smoooooth.) My fave girls were Aria (teary eyed mom with 3 yr old) and Aarti (perky flower-haired girl. Brian's fave guys were Tom (big guy with hair like Andrew when it's not cut), Brad and Das. His fave girls were Aria and Dzintra (off-the-wall blonde - that pick caught me by surprise since she annoyed me right off).

By the end of the show I was loving Aria and hoping sweet boy Brad gets a bit more confidence. Herb and Das can still do well if they channel their energy and let their cooking do all the big talking. By the end of the show Brian still liked Tom (who reminds him of his fave last year, Adam Gertler) and he was bummed that Dzintra's "quirkiness" was getting a little bizarre. (I told you, honey!) Looks like an interesting season! :-) So who were your faves??
