Utahn booted from Food Network show weighing options

I would love to see a show on Food Network with Kelsey and Shane ... They made a great team & are so cute ...

Sometimes, it's GOOD to not have the 20yrs in the food biz ... You're not jaded by the pratfalls of the industry or corrupted by it ...

Kelsey & Shane are young & fresh ... They're living life with eyes wide open and willing to try new things ...

There are a lot of younger (& older) viewers who want to learn with the show host ... And not be talked down to because you don't know what they're making ... Shows like that give the beginner cook hope that they can get better & learn to try new foods ...

Plus, we'd know that there would be no alcohol used in the recipes or imbibed in on the show ... That's the main problem with a lot of the other shows ... They forget that one can cook without alcohol

Bob Tuschman would be a FOOL if he doesn't give Kelsey & Shane a cooking show ...

According to the Foodnetwork website, she did win the fan favorite contest. Tons of appliances and $2000 worth of sears giftcards!

Good Luck | 11:48 p.m. Aug. 6, 2008

Good Luck to Kelsey.

Hope that BYU-TV will continue to run her shows that
were made when she was a student.

I have been watching the FN since its inception - when it started they were innovative, fresh, had TRAINED CHEFS that were new and exciting. Then they got a new President and CEO who stated in an interview "we're going in a different direction than in the past" - SHE proceeded to fire Sara Moulton, Ming Tsai, all the other trained chefs, kept Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, Emeril (for a while). Promoted NON chefs, COMPETITIONS! COMPETITIONS. Like so much in our culture today - STUPID is good, DUMB is better and ugly is the new fashion. I knew when watching Kelsey and Giada DeLaurentis (Ms. Boobs and Teeth) told her "you are too over the top" that Kelsey would be kicked off before final.

I love the way she dresses up common melons.

Way to go, Kelsey!

Kelsey was by far my favorite. It seemed like she was totally picked on. I was upset that Adam who undercooked food made it farther then she did. oh well. Good luck

I loved Kelsey and really believed she should have been at least one of the final 3. She wins the Bon Apetite and Red Lobstet compititions and then gets kicked off because they didn't like her presentation on one show? They messed up
