Aaron! You Suck! You can can cook, yes. But you’re like watching a train wreck. “I’m Bold” you just put chili flakes on everything.
That dude from Philly should have won!
REVERSE RACISM!!!

Not being racist, just pointing out the obvious. They fixed this show to hand over the win to Aaron for whatever reason. They favored Aaron throughout this series. Downplaying his failures and exaggerating his accomplishments. He’s not a good presenter and has the tendency of not speaking coherently. I suspect his food knowledge isn’t as great as they lead us to believe. (Chipotle anyone?) I wouldn’t say he’s horrible but compared to his competition he was the weakest of the 3. The fix was there otherwise he should have been packing after that horrendous Las Vegas performance.

Fuck this shit, he only won cuz he was black. His demo was hooooorrrrible. Worst of all of them. Watching him is worse than watching paint dry. Adam should have won. He is shit and his show will suck ass… no one will watch it.

It was absolutely obvious why the judges had to have three winners on the last show. Aaron was so bad at the buffet and presentation that they would have had to let him go so they thought up this way of giving him another chance since he was to be the winner all along. How stupid do they think we are?

Again i will say it.He won because he is black.There is pressure on the network execs. to be more black friendly.

WOW u guys are genius! We are talking about a food network show. Adam had ONE good day in Las Vegas and he deserved to win?? I think not. Lisa was very good but she was to anal about being perfect and as a viewer you would have never watched her show to the end. Aaron was consistent and with time will be okay as a host. No one can expect perfection hosting ify ou never was in front of a camera. Talking about his race, his looks and everything is awful because I’m sure Food Network is in the business of making money and why would they hire someone that they felt would not produce. DUH

How come they didn’t let us vote on the winner as they have in the past? I agree, the fix was in. My big complaint is that if those are the only folks they could get to compete, why don’t they just not have the show? Remember Amy from last season? Probably not, she was so bland.

Gee, I thought this type of blatant racism only existed in the past. Now I understand why a black has never won. I would hope in this day and age that we would analyze and judge fairly. If you thought someone else should have won, then say so and say why, but making racist remarks does nothing for comments.

I think that the FN picked the right winner, I don’t think the show was rigged or that Aaron won because he is black. Obviously the man can cook and is appleaing to many. audiences. Anyone who tries to drop the race card and use it as an excuse to flaunt their racist views needs to pack up their white sheets and move off the plantation. Go Aaron!

Aaaron sucks and I for sure wont watch the show with him on Sundays. You knew he was going to win. It was rigged, rigged from the start!!!!

Of the 3, Aaron seems the nicest, but my point is none of the contestants really seemed to have “it”. I watched his first show, and it was fine. My point was the network didn’t want to get stuck with another like Amy. They even let the name of the winner slip days early. The fact that they picked the winner earlier gave them and Aaron a chance to practice. If you watched the first 2 seasons, there really were lots more contenders for the job.

For all of you dumb ass negative dummies. You all just hatin’ None of yall dumb ass’s are no where near close to being on the foodnetwork, let a alone having your own show! Get a life and pray for your creator to take the jealousy and evil out of your bones! Damn…

So much negativity. IF Aaron won only because he is black, get over it already. White people have been winning for years because they are white. I am watching Big Daddy now and the show is great.
Alison Brown | Aug 10, 2008 | Reply
He sucked from the get-go and he still sucks. Obviously it was fixed or he would have been voted off….duhhhhhhhhhh….3 finalist…HELLO. Be glad you’re a negroid Aaron, as it was the winning recipe.

If you seriously think that the Food Network is going down because they have now 4 black STARS, then turn the channel! Aaron was great from the beginning and his show is a success!! I am so delighted to see the comments from the “haters”!! And how his winning has gotten you so agitated that you would spew such ignorance! Aaron is here to stay, so keep “hatin”!! I love it! Go Big Daddy! Go Big Daddy! Question? If you all can’t handle a black man winning a TV show, how in the hell are you going to handle one in the White House? o-o-o-o-o-o!

I watched the show and one thing I noticed is that he is cooking facing the wall? Why most shows use and island so the camera can be in front of the cooktop. I don’t think his show will last but he is MUCH better on the show than he was as a contestant many times I could not understand what he was saying and I have a DVR I can back ut up and turn on close captioning even that could not understand what he was saying. On his show they can stop and redo it but still not going to watch. I think Top Chef was much stronger this year than FNS. Will have to see how it goes next year!

I just watched the forth episode and this guy makes school lunch look good.Nothing he makes looks difficult or interresting.He has no knife skills, uses too much processed cheese,premade and canned food.The final product looks like crap.They should cancel this show, oh yeah they need subtitles too.

I think that it’s ridiculous that there is so much hate and negativity being voiced here. Aaron’s being black had nothing to do with him winning. For those of you who think this, take a look at society…has being black ever made anyone’s life easier?? Certainly not, and I speak from experience. If you disagree with the judges’ decision, then disagree. But, don’t degrade an individual because of the color of his skin, or the way he speaks. Maybe he hasn’t had the opportunity that some of us have had to learn better. I wish him the best of luck, and I hope that his coming success proves everyone who had something negative to say about him WRONG!!! And for those of you who had something to say about the way he speaks, I suggest you do something about your grammar because half of you can’t spell.

Yes, you are been racist. Rather than putting someone down in order to make up for your own insecurities go out and try to accomplish something in your life.
Valencia | Sep 14, 2008 | Reply
If memory serves me correctly, Adam prepared and served the judges raw food at least twice and he pitched a show that Food Network already created.
Valencia | Sep 14, 2008 | Reply
How do you say RACIST. What does race have to do with anything. He was given the same opportunity the other contestant’s had and he came out on top. Yes he is black, a great cook, and has a wonderful personality get over it.

Chris,
Thank God that Aaron did not have to depend on you and your noose tying friends for his success. It is forums like this that allows cowards to post something stupid and racist without having to show their face. I am more than sure if standing face to face with Aaron your opinion would be much different. Aaron was consistent throughout the show for his food delivery. Adam, kept getting criticized for his lousy food and childish anticts. Do you remember that awful three stooges fall he attempted at the military base.. (foolish). He was childish and didn’t take things serious until the end. In my opinion Adam was more focused on building a comedy career than demonstrating his cooking skills; which is the reason he was there. Please remove the racism because it is not necessary. Either you felt Aaron was good or bad, it had nothing to do with his race.
By the way I think Alton Brown sucks. Not because of his race, but because he just does.

What the hell is reverse racism? Either you are a racist or you’re not. I agree that whites have held the throne in adminstering racism; however, Aaron is a talented guy. HIs skills will continue to develop in time. You should watch old footage from your favorites Food Network stars and see how they blossom with time. In the beginning watchin Rachael Ray was like watching a Stepford wife. She was stiff, dressed like a sixties housewife, and had no personality at all. Bobby Flay didn’t even know how to open a food processor. My point is, give the guy a chance,others were giving the opportunity to be molded into the stars they are today. Had the network not believed in their stars there would be no Food Network channel.
