    My DH and I were away for the weekend, so I let him sleep in on Sunday morning while I got up and turned on FN. Sunny Anderson did an Asian-themed show that included a Korean dish. She mentioned her time in Korea several times and said something like, “Oh! Did I tell you that I went to Korea?” I was sure that she was mocking Debbie Lee! Too funny!

    Sunny Anderson’s “East Made Easy” is scheduled again this Friday at 4:00PM EDT. I swear that Sunny was mocking Debbie Lee with a comment that she made.

    Jillian: Off topic question

    ???WTF???

    Where’s the article about Ina Garten and Boitano’s Boy Toy (big ass Cucumber)?? It just disappeared?! I hope that you were not bowing to any pressure from the outside…keep it real…

    Wait wait…….Debbie was Korean????

    I am floored.

    Floored!!!

    Oh well, at least now I have an excuse to douse my hotdogs with soy sauce and pile on the kimchi.

    She’s reminds me of that Chinese woman who got too addicted to face plastic surgery that when doctors refused to do anymore on her, she injected her face with cooking oil. Here’s the link: http://famousplastic.com/2008/11/28/hang-mioku-plastic-surgery-addict/

    Not for the faint of heart.

    Well, that made for a good scare at 6 am on a Wednesday. Here I was thinking my coffee would wake me up, but that picture is enough of a jolt that I suddenly don’t need caffeine.

    I doubt several of Sunny Anderson’s claims as well. Someone should do some background checks on her, because she has been telling some whoppers.

  25. avatar Ann I Ball

    From what I’ve seen of Debbie, this photo is her best because it’s her least contrived photo.

    She’s caught without makeup, there’s nothing false here. If I have to endure this liar, at least this is her most honest image.

    Here’s another friendly reminder:

    Jeffrey Saad is only 3% behind Melissa in fan favorite!! If you go to the FN Star website, and vote, Jeffrey just might win!

  29. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    @Fan Girl – Jeffrey just might win what, exactly? At this point, who cares anymore. As long as That Korean Hot Dog Chick doesn’t show up on tv somewhere (oh, please God, plleeeezzzeeeee, don’t let that happen), it’s time to move along…

  30. avatar Fan Girl
    August 27th, 2009

    @Byrdie. Winning fan favorite might help Jeffrey win a show, a prize, something. If you don’t want to help,YOU move along…

  31. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    So if Jeffery “wins” a show, you know what Bobbo and Susie will do? Put him in some dork context (I can cook this entire meal for one dollar with the heat of only one sterno and no utensils!). No, after seeing Mommy Dearest’s show, I think the right person won. Jeffery can only improve by moving along. So don’t take it so personally. It’s not about you, it’s about saving him from FN and their banality.

  32. avatar DesignerJeans
    August 27th, 2009

    @Byrdie

    And the title of Susie’s and Tushie’s show for Jeffery:

    Spice Smuggling at the 99 cents store!

  33. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    @DesignerJeans – LOL! They’ll probably make him bring back their change from a dollar, too.

  34. avatar CherryRose
    August 27th, 2009

    My guess is that Jeffrey’s budget for the entire run of his show would be the amount that he didn’t spend in the $1000 challenge ;)

  35. avatar DesignerJeans
    August 27th, 2009

    Absolutely, Byrdie, Susie and Tushie did not get to where they are by wasting FN money… oh wait…

  36. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    Well, well, well.

    I just checked out FN’s website and low and behold, there is a short blog from Doucheman stating on how “we spoke and they listened”; that there are Jeffery fans and blah blah blah how he knew Jeffery was “bursting with knowledge”. So on their site they have several short video’s of Jeffery as the “Spice Smuggler”. The one I watched was pretty interesting. It’s kind of funny that the set they have him on is classy, especially when you compare it with Mommy Dearest’s blue tile nightmare. Too funny. Bet Melissa’s eyes are REALLY bugging out now. Looks like Bobbo is inches away from giving Saad his own show. Gads, they’ll ruin him….

  37. avatar Jun
    August 27th, 2009

    The Spice Smuggler webisodes are great.

  38. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    Jun, your right. Jeffery does a great job because he’s not frantic, not talking a million miles an hour, informative (I actually learned something I did not know!! go figure!!), classy, mellow (zen thing as Bobbo called it) and all around pleasant to watch.

    My fear is it won’t stay that way. FN has a knack for screwing up a good thing. Pauler Poopy started out relaxed and genuine, and now look at her. Fake and over the top. I wish him all the success in the world but I sure hate to see him go the way of all the other talking heads and boobs on FN.

  39. avatar Byrdie
    August 27th, 2009

    OOPS! “You’re” right…sorry.

  40. avatar CherryRose
    August 27th, 2009

    “FN has a knack for screwing up a good thing.”

    A perfectly poignant remark, Byrdie. FN brass has turned all of their so-called “stars” into all-too-obvious caricatures of themselves. They’ve taken the most controversial, hideous, obnoxious, ridiculous traits of the various FN personalities and magnified them beyond belief! FN has become “theatre of the absurd”, and that’s precisely the reason that we’re here at FNH poking fun at their asinine antics.

  41. avatar Byrdie
    August 28th, 2009

    Perhaps, Cherry Rose, FN is a front name (thus ‘FN’) for the Stepford movement. Come to think of it, Scripps, the owner of the channel, well, their first initial is ‘S’, as in Stepford! The people on FN seem real, but they begin to behave in a one dimensional pattern until they are all just former shells of themselves. Yes, I think I’ve cracked it. Absurd, indeed!!

    Run, Jeffery, run!!

  42. avatar CherryRose
    August 28th, 2009

    Reminder: Sunny Anderson’s “East Made Easy” episode is coming up at 4:00 today. She makes a Korean dish, and I’m almost certain that she mocks Debbie with a comment that she makes when mentioning a trip to Korea. I’m going to watch it again; guess I’m a glutton for punishment :))

  43. avatar Feikhal Madhur

    Here is my prediction. Write it down because in one year’s time it is going to be a focal point of discussion around this blog and the general population at large.

    Melissa D’Arabian will have replaced Rachael Ray as FN’s new “darling” with the exception she will be loathed in a manner never seen or witnessed before and directed at a FN “star”. Already , we have witnessed some disturbing levels of self bravado and uncool behaviour. We could have a monster on our hands here with this one.

    We could be begging FN to bring RR back at any cost, very soon.

    August 28th, 2009

    Have you seen the ads for next year’s FN star? They use all the folks from this year’s show, holding up their stupid signs about culinary point of view etc, and when they show Debbie, she’s holding the “winning personality” sign. I gotta think that’s on purpose for sarcastic effect, right?

  45. avatar sheila gosselin
    August 28th, 2009

    Rox,

    The show here in Atlanta is Sat Aug 29th at 2 pm/7pm. It will be taped, natch but I do not know when it will air on FN. He will do a regular good eats show/other segments for the live audience and discuss his weight loss. I do not know how much will be eddited but trust me I will keep you posted!

    Seila

    PS I am not related to the Gosselin reality show!

    Cheers

    OMG, she is FUGLY, lmao. I was sure she was gonna mix in a dish of gaegogi during the contest. Oh ya, in case any were wondering, she is Korean. BUT, she is from the South and NEVER ate kimchee, right-tttttttttttttttt.
