I'm sure Mary Beth will end up with a show on the Cooking Channel or the Style network or something like that. I think she'd be far better off with a show where she eats rather than a show where she cooks though.

I agree. And they've done that with other people who didn't make it to the final (or did and didn't win). I was thinking even a show about "finding it fresh" or something, where she could travel all over and spotlight local markets or whatever.

Yeah, that's why I said it. I've seen previous runner-ups all over the place and in some cases their shows are more interesting than what the winners come up with. Find it fresh, is a good idea. Going around to farmer's markets and local specialty food stores around the country.

I'm very disappointed with the results of NFNS. I hope that the other two end up with shows somewhere as well.

Yeah, out of the two finalists, I really would have preferred Suzi win.

I would have enjoyed Suzi's (Vic's probably even more) but I think the concept of the winning show is interesting and not something that's out there right now.
(I have to say I was starting to get tired of the "things my father did/did not anticipate when he crossed the border" theme.)

Vic was my favorite. I always thought Suzi's food looks delicious. I'm just not interested in a show about sandwiches, plus I find what's his name is annoying.

Yeah, I was surprised Vic didn't make it. He was adorable.

I just had a brainflash of Jilli on NFNS. Note I've never seen the show, and I have no idea if Jilli can cook, but the image was pretty stunning, I must say.

Re: Melanie's figure--she strikes me as having a barrel chest, which gives her more of a rounded torso, so her middle isn't "doughy" so much as it doesn't seem to taper down to a thin waist.
Also, on rewatching the finale, I think that Sasha had definitely lost some weight during the final few weeks, because she definitely thinner than she had been in the beginning of the season. Nerves and lots of rehearsals, probably.
