Food Network.. Star?

Look. I know Aaron is a nice man. How do I know? Because, unlike me, he likes children, he always wears a happy smile and probably never sits alone in the dark with his head in his hands, contemplating the total lack of potential happiness in his future.

But nice does not equal good TV, even on the Food Network.

I was never a fan of Lisa, but I can say with all certainty that I would far rather see a show where she teaches me to make basic ingredients beautiful than I would like to watch Arron "Big Papa" teach me about spices. I'd rather watch Adam shove beer cans filled with garlic up a dead chicken's ass and make it dance, than I would hear Aaron say "You know you're gonna want somma this" 17 times in five minutes while he tops a steak with sweetened plantains.

You know what I want some of? Lisa's fish with the zabaglione sauce. Hell yes! A big plate of her crispy leeks? Oh, baby. Adam's green beans? Mmmmmm. Beer-can chicken? You betcha.

I think the judges settled on Aaron from the very beginning, and did everything they could to help him to justify their decision because he's nice and they just liked him.

OK.

Quite frankly, I couldn't understand a word Aaron said during his entire demo tape.
