Yesterday I reported that Lisa Garza was no longer blogging about her appearance on the Next Food Network Star, which is a real drag because I love it when she takes her wheels off and veers out of control. It makes me feel like a centered, grounded woman with a clear direction on life. Without my Monday dose of Loopy Lisa, I was fuzzy and out of focus and frankly, a little hurt that she just shut up without giving me notice. I feel better now thanks to Shane, the nice PR person from the Next Food Network Star who just sent me this note:
Unfortunately as we get closer to the finale and with only four finalists remaining, we’ve asked ALL the finalists to discontinue any blogging they have been doing during the run of the show. It’s a tactic a lot of reality shows take and it helps to keep the integrity of the show intact. This rule is no way being put in place due to anything Lisa alone has done. It’s a rule that encompasses all of the finalists.
Oh, the integrity of the show. Silly me, I totally forgot about that. And who said anything about Lisa doing anything wrong? Sean, spill the couscous–what did she do? I mean, you brought it up.
As far as I’m concerned, nothing could top my already favorite moment on this season’s show–it came the second Aaron muttered “Coke the Van” when referring to coq au vin. I am obsessed with working the phrase into my everyday life: Last night I called my friend and said, “Dude, let’s coke the van and get a bite.” How do you coke the van?
