New Photos Of The Next Food Network Star Contestants

The FN Dish just blogged a few candid photos of the Next Food Network Star competitors, and they gave all of us here at FNH a pretty good laugh. Run along and take a look at them… and then come on back and we’ll discuss ‘em. We’ll wait.
(insert Jeopardy theme music here)
Are you back? Good. Now seriously, BASED ON THOSE PHOTOS ALONE, tell me they don’t look like ten of the biggest toolbags to ever pick up a Santoku knife!
Why do most of the men look awkward and oh-so uncomfortable in front of the camera? It’s like, 4 minutes before the photo was taken, someone said to them: “you better look like you’re having fun in these promo photos or we will KILL A PUPPY.” Two of them even resorted to doing a BUTT BUMP, for heaven’s sake. And we all know, nothing says “I’m sober and I’m trying to look like I’m having fun” like a butt bump.
The FN Dish article also mentioned that “Lady Gaga was blasting” in the background, which got everybody “dancing and playing.” Really? Then why do the women look like they’re filming a Massengil print ad? They look B-O-R-I-N-G! They aren’t even TRYING to fake a good time. They’re just like, “Yeah, we’re here, we’re just chillin’, shooting an ad for a Sears catalog.” At least Melissa D’Arabian did a split.
Too bad this isn’t The Next Gymnast Star, because she’d be a shoo-in.

I hesitate to mention this, but isn’t it shoo-in?
Yes it is Tatiana, thank you, and typo corrected.
Someone tell that drag queen that horizontal stripes are a no-no for fatties.
Phony. Fake. They look like rejects from casting pix from “Friends”. And maybe it’s just my personality, but I don’t know five women that are in a competition to become the next RR or Pauler or Aunt (hiccup) Sandy, that wouldn’t rather scratch each others eyes out of their sockets. But NOOOOOO, there they all are just laughing and having such a marvy time. Phony. Fake. Did I mention phony and fake?
You’re right they look like toolbags.
I don’t know what is more sad the write up by Fn about how much fun was having. Or the comments by people about what a fun group they looked liked.
You’ve come a long way, baby.
Good lord–between this and the interviews on the other site (in all fairness, the questions are perfectly thoughtful and to the point–it’s the answers that are ridiculous), it’s not surprising that you weren’t allowed to interview the contestants prior to the show. I’m really not impressed with any of them so far–it’s like they’ve taken all of the worst aspects of the prior seasons and found contestants that personified all of them.
Is it me or did just about all of them say Bobby Flay was their cooking idol on that lame 7 questions “interview” thing?
Surprised they all didn’t have brown smudges on their noses in the photos.
Heaven help the Food Network if this is the best of the crop.
I think this has got to be one of the best shows on TV. Everyone on it is such a disaster. From the FN ‘executives.’ who are able to contradict themselves at every possible opportunity. To the head case contestants who are obviously enjoying there time out of the asylum. This group looks like they can keep that tradition alive. I especially loved it last season when it soon became clear that they already had a winner pick and changed the rules accordingly to let him get through.
I can’t help but watch this car wreck of a show it’s a real guilty pleasure
The only problem is, haven’t watched FN in so long I have forgotten what channel it’s on.
