Last week, Cristina Santana was sent home, despite having a great performance with Pasha on performance night. We got a guest performance by Brian Gaynor on the Results show, and several dancers were challenged with the fact that they need to perform better if they want to stay. Tonight we open with one of those [...]

Previously on ‘The Next Food Network Star‘ we saw our first three competitors go home, and weren’t very surprised. Dizzy D, Doreen and Alexis seemed to be the worst chefs in the first episode and none of them truly stepped forward to distinguish themselves… at least not in a good way. Meanwhile Paul, the chef [...]

Last night , the top 10 hit our stage in a variety of styles. Billy Bell and Jose Ruiz got dealt styles they were completely unfamiliar with, while Ashley Galvan and Cristina Santana randomly selected styles that were a little closer to home.
Performances
The Top 10 open the show with a contemporary number choreographer by Sonya [...]

Last week we lost Alexie Agdepa, as our Top 10 turned into a Top 11. The contemporary dancer turned in a Hip-Hop performance that was only ‘ok’ by the judges standards, and didn’t do much more than ‘Dance Cute’. While the audience might vote for cute they didn’t vote for Alexie, and after a somewhat [...]

Previously on ‘The Next Food Network Star‘ we saw two competitors go home, Alexis Hernandez failed at cooking the food and at being a star, while Doreen Fang didn’t improve between the two episodes and might have gotten a little worse. On the other hand we have Dizzy D (Dzintra Denis) who didn’t get to [...]

We’ve seen our Top 11 make their way through auditions and the Vegas callbacks to make it to the So You Think You Can Dance stage. Last week we got one more chance to see the dancers at their best, as each performed in their best style with members of the All-Stars. Now the hard [...]

The Next Food Network Star is back, and back to one-hour formats so it should be a little easier on everyone this week. Last week we met all 12 of this season’s contestants as they faced off in a team challenge. Aria was an early favorite, Dizzy D was allowed to continue in the competition [...]

So last night the Top 11 were set, with Billy Bell getting the special ‘11th’ spot because there were just too many good dancers to reduce it to a Top 10. I personally would have given that final spot to Anthony Burrell, but I’m not the one making the choices. Tonight, it’s a Showcase, as [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us, and Vegas week took us down from 122 contestants to just 24. Now those 24 have gone back home, and the judges, instead of calling them all back to Vegas as they normally would have done… will instead be going out to their homes to visit the contestants and [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us almost faster than we could track. Thanks in part to the paucity of talent in Nashville we got our first look at Vegas week last week as the dancers were cut down from 122 to just 58. This week the cuts will come deeper as people we’ve grown attached [...]

The Next Food Network Star is back, as 12 contestants compete to win a contract with the Food Network for their own show. The contract generally runs eight shows, which gives the Food Network brass enough time to figure out if the person really fits in with the Food Network’s style and will draw an [...]

The second stop on So You Think You Can Dance tonight is Nashville, the final audition city and last chance to qualify for the show before those dancers that make the cut move on to Vegas. No fooling around for us now, let’s go right to the auditions. Our judges for Nashville are Nigel Lythgoe, [...]
