Nipa Bhatt Is A Liar
 |
Remember Nipa Bhatt? The Indian contestant with the boring personality from Next Food Network Star Season 4? These days, she’s desperately clinging onto her last 30 seconds of fame by doing overpriced cooking presentations at Indian supermarkets in her home state of Minnesota. And oh yeah – she’s lying:
Nipa is bragging about being a finalist on NFNS4? REALLY? That’s funny, because I specifically remember her getting eliminated in week 4 of the 9 week competition. Jennifer Cochrane and Shane Lyons lasted longer than she did, for heaven’s sake! Aaron McCargo and Adam Gertler were the finalists, and yet Nipa is circulating this greatly exaggerated photo everywhere possible – including her Facebook page. Stop the insanity!
And now, the top 6 photos we’re most likely to soon see on Nipa Bhatt’s Facebook:

What is it with people in Minnesota getting caught in lies? That’s the fifth time I’ve heard of this year–and we’re only four months in. Still, though, at least as long she’s shilling there, she’s not shilling in my neighbourhood!
That is too funny. I never liked her on NFNS. Finalist my arse!
Actually, she could be considered a finalist in that she was one of the few picked to be on the show. I think it’s semantics.
Picked to be on the show does not equal FINALIST. Picked to be on the show equals CONTESTANT.
Actually…the people on the show are all “finalists”. Picked from a group of close to 10,000, the casting director then picks 25 “semi-finalists” to try out in NYC, then from that pool they narrow it down to the final 8-10.
So, even if they don not win or make it the final two, they are indeed “finalists”.
I know, because I went through this process..
I have to agree with Alex #1. She was a finalist in the auditioning process, but so what? That’s OBVIOUS, and therefore that picture is implying she was a finalist on the actual show. Hogwash. They threw her off the show faster than Bobby Flay could say “poblano.”
Alex, i think you are delusional. nipa was NOT a finalist in the average viewers eyes. i think that term is mis-leading. if thats what you ego stroking “cooks” need to tell yourself to make thru another day… then so be it. but i would never pay to see or eat nipa’s food. ever.
she was a contestant.
the photo insinuates that she was a finalist on the actual show and I don’t agree with that. It should simply have said “contestant.”
She’s an attractive lady though.
Sorry Jillian & Alex (#1). Alex #2 was right in that it’s all semantics. Nipa is considered a finalist. On the Food Network site it calls all the final 10 “Finalists” — “Ten new finalists compete for the biggest prize on television: their own Food Network show.”
They never use the word constestant for next food network star for some reason…..only finalist. Weird.
Food Network can call it whatever they want – and so can Alex 1, Alex 2, Lauren, and everyone else reading this article. But TO ME, and to the average person who has no clue about how the Food Network labels their contestants, the term “finalist” INSINUATES that she was a finalist on the actual show.
Again, the average person has zero knowledge whether Food Network uses “finalist” or “contestant.” Simply looking at a photo of someone with the word FINALIST heavily implies that she made it to the end.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course. That’s just the way I see it.
I see both sides but I agree with FNH on this one. Like Jillian said I have no knowledge about which terms Food Network uses to define their contestants and simply looking at that photo, the first thing I thought was that she was a finalist on the show. But she was not even close to being a finalist.
It seems dubious and deceitful to me frankly
I think it’s interesting that you are calling her a liar. When you posted the article about the new cast for season 5 of NFNS, you called them all “Finalists”. She is only using the term that FN uses to describe the people competing. It may be misleading but she is not a liar.
Oh. My. God. why on earth do you people care so much about this? I really wanted to see her get kicked off the show too, but she WAS a finalist, as far as food network was concerned. Please, find a better way to use your time instead of publishing nothing but your own self-ignorance. Thanks :)
That lady can cook, dang! Surely ther must have been some error folks. HOT CURRY!!!
