Melissa, Jeffrey Compete in 'Star' Finale
On Sunday night, either Melissa or Jeffrey will be crowned "The Next Food Network Star" winner and get their own (six-episode) show. My scouting report:
* Melissa's dishes seem to have more mass appeal and she's always coming up with a brilliant tip. She really understands the home cook and can whip out dishes like there's no tomorrow. But her downfall is two fold: sometimes he sounds like an auctioneer when she's doing an on-camera demo and occasionally her creativity leads her to over-think her menu.
* Conversely, Jeffrey's zen-calm on camera has been impressive from the start -- but the same can't be said about his food. He's stuck to the Southwest, through thick and thin, and only recently has he deviated from that path. His food has been mixed and sometimes his energy disappears.
Therefore, my money's on Melissa. She's been a favorite for a while and has shown that, if she can stay calm, she's got the potential to be the second-best winner of the show yet. (Nobody's passing Guy Fieri in that category any time soon.)
