The Next Food Network Star: Which Guy Won?

On April 5, I predicted:
I'll be surprised if Guy doesn't win this thing. He's arrogant, loud, and obnoxious, but he's the only one out of the 8 contestants that seems remotely camera-ready. He's Emeril with a bad bleach job. This entire competition just seems like a formality before they give Guy his own show.
On April 12, I said:
I still think this entire show is a run-up to Guy's evenutal coronation.
On April 19, I wrote:
I think Guy will end up having his own nationally televised cooking show either way.
It's not like I was alone in feeling like Guy was way ahead of the pack. Anyone who watched more than 10 minutes of any episode would see that Guy was the clear front runner. Even the Food Network gave Guy prime placement in its print ads:



For those who haven't seen the finale yet, I think you can see what I'm getting at. Meet The Next Food Network Star.

No 38-year-old man should have their hair in blonde spikes.

Also, I thought Guy's cooking in the final was nasty. If I went over to someone's house, and they offered me turkey pasta and something called a Breathmint Pie, I'd respectfully decline. What, did a 12-year-old come up with that menu? Where's the ice cream soup?

Glad someone else noticed Paula Deen's Abdulesque malaise. Maybe it's just something about being named Paula and judging a reality show contest, but Paula D. is drifting afield and fast becoming a bit of caricature. I predict a televised crying fit in the near future, or a Chappelle-like sudden disappearance.

Danielle, I agree, Top Chef is infinitely more entertaining.
