Default Re: TV cooking contest shows

Did anyone else recognize Rory the first time they saw her on Next Food...? It bothered me the whole first episode, and then I googled. She was on (VH1's? CMT's? GAC's? one of those) the "Popularity Contest" show. I have to think she has a decent edge simply because she's used to seeing herself on TV and reacting to reality TV moments. Obviously, there's a level of cooking expertise below which you just can't be on FoodTV, but above that limit, camera-comfort, audience rapport, etc, count for way more than cooking. Having made it deep in to a reality TV show, I just have to think Rory has an edge over someone like Garcia or Amy.
