There couldn't be a better time to put this show on! Can't wait :)

I've watched and tasted Rachel's... not a fan. Look at how much Melissa grew and accomplished on the show. From never using commerical equipment to making it to the end. Like I said, I think Jeffrey is great - but give Melissa a break.

Yeah... and don't really get the anger - wouldn't exactly call Melissa the 'rich girl' - have you not seen the out-takes? Sounds like she had to struggle to get to where she has gotten...

While I really do enjoy watching Jeffrey - I'm psyched Melissa won. What she has to offer us is more practical and usable. Her 'survival guide' will help me in the kitchen, as I have no kids but spend too many hours in the office and usually grab something tasteless on the way home.

The 4-step chicken already gave me ideas about shopping ahead so I can make something healthy at home after work. Again, Jeffrey is great, and I love watching him - but where would I actually be able to find his 'smuggled ingredients.' Hard enough just making it to the grocery store.

Was this something you considered in your decision-making process?
