The Next Food Network Star has stayed precisely true to the path it has now been on for at least three seasons. If you’ve been around, you’ve heard this before, but I’m not a fan of many shows on the network, and the shows I do watch aren’t the cooking shows. Every season, I watch along as Next Food Network Star narrows the field down to one person who convinces me that I might actually be interested to watch their show, and a person that there is no way I could possibly stand to watch. I’m sure you know where the story goes from there.
As I’ve also said before, I confess that there is a strong argument that this just proof they are picking the right person for the network.

There’s probably no point in continuing to say that The Next Food Network Star is either going about things all wrong, or exactly right, but I’ll leave the success of the last few winners to speak for me. With the possible exception of Tom (and I mean “possible” very seriously), and maybe Brad, there never was anyone on this run that I’d watch if they had a show.
Of course, I don’t watch a lot of Food Network shows, and there is where they possibly doing things right. It’s possible that picking people I wouldn’t watch is how you attract the people who do watch a lot of their shows already. Who knows?
I’d be interested to get some perspective on this though.
