She's not on the competition to be a caterer. If I had been in Jeff's position I would have been in back helping to plate things up when food wasn't coming out. Instead he just wandered around and then blamed Debbie for everything.

I like what Debbie has to offer. I don't want another Mexican cooking show. I don't want another Sandra Lee.
I thought Adama should have won last year - Instead foodnetwork stole his show idea and gave it to some chick- and he still gets a show.

If Debbie doesn't win- I hope she gets a show anyway because it'll be better to watch than Jeff or Melissa - bland.

I'd rather know what's in the sausage than be suprised with the preservatives later

I have to say that Debbie does seem shady at times, but so does Jeff. Did you watch the longer arguments section that went down after the Miami fiasco? Jeff basically laid all the blame onto Debbie and tried to act all holy than thou. "I got my dishes done a half hour early" - Oh yeah, then how come they had to set them up all evening. Also - Jeff tried to control everything throughout all the 2hrs of cooking and stuff and then he and sheman ran off together to play at the party and gave some brief 3 min instructions to Jamika and Melissa.
I mean seriously, that's how you're going to play it? Jeff assigned the biggest part of the night to Debbie and he went and shmoozed. It takes a lot of "talent" to hand food out to people. I mean... who loves you people... Jeff and Mike didn't even show Debbie how to "plate" their nasty food anyway.

Her food though, has been amazing for the judges. I'll watch the show if Debbie wins to see how her food goes. I hate Guy and everything he does, but I like Big Dadd's House.
However, if food network wants a really fun to watch Korean cook, recommend Maangchi at http://www.maangchi.com. She is awesome.

Debbie's caper incident is sad, aye. However, she forgot them and then tried to cover it. I've done that with my wife... yes she sees through it, but it is human nature to not want to get in trouble.
The only time where I really thought that Debbie was acting really crappy was when she didn't own up the crap dessert. She tried to pawn it off as a group thing.
If you managed to read through this whole post, then I congratulate your diligance. Debbie needs to stop making excuses for everything she does. I think that is the most irritating part. If she'll just admit a mistake and move on, then it wouldn't be so bad to watch. However, her excuses make everything drag on and get more and more confusing and sad to watch.

I have a lot to say, but it won't let me post a lot, so get ready for a multi post.

I'm Korean, no really I am. I'm also American; unfotunately, here in America, we are pigeon holed into our "ethnic" identities much too often. I personally would love it if the other contestants were like - I'm white, that's why I use salt in my dish.
That being said. I cook a lot of Korean food and it is super heavy on garlic and red pepper. When she's talking about using a ton of garlic in her recipes, it really is a ton. It's not the little bit that Emeril did and then goes "bam." And the audience is like.. oo garlic...
I could totally picture Debbie having a show where she's like adding Garlic to a pot and everyone's like... cuz I'm Korean... haha.
