Yep, and for that matter, be prepared for a question asking for the third season winner of "The Next Food Network Star".

Oooh--I hope so. That was the one where Amy, the eventual winner, had been eliminated, but was brought back as a substitute for the male semi-finalist when it was revealed he'd made up stuff on his resume. I'd been rooting for the Texas gal, Rory, because Amy spent most of her time on the show whining about how much she missed her kids and why she thought she should just give up and go home. After winning, Amy did her show for six weeks or whatever, then quit, so all in all season three was not a good one.
The thing I love about "Next Food Network Star" is that is emphasizes communication and on-screen presence as much as cooking ability. Season after season, people make it on the show, then tell us how scared they are of being on camera, which one would think would suggest to them that a different cooking competition might be in order. But then we've also had the "Survivor" contestants who don't like dealing with nature, so reality show myopia isn't confined to the foodies.
