I regret that someone's homosexuality was aired on the show. It was
inappropriate and had nothing to do with their cooking ability. They
should simply be allowed to cook and excel at that craft. At least it
was on after 9PM EST.

I'm sure I get flamed for this, but I post anyway.

Which show is this, since you are advertising it?

And was he cute?

The two guys are a *** couple. And in their application video, THEY
mentioned it and even went so far as to say that they should be considered
because "*** people are very hot right now" on television.

So I think if they're gonna play that card as a selling point, it should
ABSOLUTELY be mentioned on the program.

Hiding your head in the sand about people who are *** isn't going to
make them go away. What does 9 p.m. have to do with it? If youngsters
watch, encourage them to ask questions. It's ignorance that does the
most damage.

Who's your favorite? I like the woman who likes healthy stuff (but she
needs to get rid of the "plastic" presence) and also Harmony. For the
men, I like the black guy best overall, but he really, REALLY needs to
lose weight - he's so heavy, it makes me uncomfortable to watch him. I
think he's heavier than Paul Prudhomme used to be.

I also like the *** guys.

They also mentioned it when they did the egg cooking demonstration.

I agree with you. But I think this guy is a troll. Just ignore him, and
hopefully *he* will go away.

Ellen Degeneres excels at her craft and she's on at 3PM EST.

They didn't have to mention being ***, but they did. Tacky at best. The
comment about "*** is 'IN'" was in very bad taste.

"We're *** and we'll be making your pizza tonight." TMI.

Imho,

I don't watch whatever show is being discussed here, but this struck me as
funny. I'm imagining a femboi indicating his proclivity by warbling, "THESE
are the only ova in THIS kitchen!"

(I'm not homophobic, but I'm often amused by the way stereotypes are
applied.)

Bob

It is not a matter of hiding in the sand. I would not have wanted a
married couple getting on there saying, "Hey, we have sex together and
that's hot right now. Pick us!" I wouldn't have wanted to have to
answer those questions while watching a cooking show either. It was
inappropriate for a cooking show.

I thought the guy from GA was okay, but I think he has a lot to learn
about showing his pesonality. He seemed better suited for "Great
Chefs" on PBS instead of FoodTV. After him I think the lady that lost
89lbs. has a good chance, but she's a little too professional.

It should have been mentioned by them if that was their selling point.
I agree. What I do not like is that the food network actually cared
about it! In fact they did not say they picked them because they
admitted homosexuality, but it is difficult to escape that it had
something to do with their decision. But I hope not. Yet another
channel that I have to monitor relentlessly for filth.

There were other threads in this group that weren't even food related.
At least this thread is somewhat food related maybe third cousin once
removed, but related. Nor did you respond to anything I said accept
that I am somehow a "homophobe."

Wow, I don't know what happened, but filth? I doubt that.

nancy

There were other non-food threads with hundreds of messages in this
group. At least mine was semi-related to something that would interest
those who would post in a food newsgroup.

You didn't respond to anything I said except that I was a homophobe for
some reason. I guess if I would have objected to heterosexuals saying
they had sex and that that was hot and should be considered for the
show, that'd be a prude, so I guess I'm just out of luck with you. I
suppose you'll have to kill me, as you said.

I think the OP is anticipating that FoodTV will be showing two guys going
at it on a kitchen counter top.

HEY! Who cares about someones sexuality, if they present a good

I agree completely. Unless homosexuals cook differently from the rest of us,
there was no need to mention it. It appears that they just wanted to flaunt
it and promote their lifestyle.

I don't know all their names, have only watched it the first time. If
you watch it once, you'll know who I'm talking about. ;-) The
"healthy-cooking" woman is the same woman who lost a lot of weight (89
pounds?). There is only one black contestant, so you should be able to
see how he is ;-) And there's only one pair of *** guys. What's so
hard?

I thought it was wrong to stereotype folks. What makes it obvious?
Wouldn't that be what they'd say anyway?

The show is partially judged on personality. These homosexuals see
their identity wrapped up in their sexual choice. That is why they
chose to flaunt it. It served a double purpose. One because they do
not see the need or believe they can act differently than their sexual
choice, and two, because they believe it will help them in the
"personality" department.

Funny, none of the people that have sex with the opposite sex have
their personality wrapped up in their sexual choice. I guess it was
just too ordinary and not "hot" as the "couple" stated.

She's actually very good. Or at least she is better than Harmony or
that guy that looks like Peter Brady.

Let's recap what I'm understanding so far: they don't appear to be ***
but the say they are ***.

Is that what you're saying?

Silly remark. If you were talking about heterosexuals, you wouldn't
be pointing that out although the same remark applies which means
that it means nothing.

As do heteros. Your point?

Yes they do.

Of course I wouldn't point it out. It is irrelevant.
