Save Susannah Locketti!
Monday, June 27, 2005
I hate to admit it, but I like to watch a little reality TV now and again. If I can make an excuse to justify this abhorrent behavior, it's that I like to watch reality shows with some kind of educational content, like the Amazing Race, Frontier House and Food Network's latest special, The Next Food Network Star.
Jenny and I watched the entire series of the Food Network's series start to finish last night, and I couldn't let the results go without taking a stab at saving an awesome personality from the chopping block! Save Susannah Locketti!
In case you didn't watch the series, the Food Network had 8 finalists compete for a shot at their own cooking show. Susannah's concept/style was to introduce a series that focused on healthy eating. Yes, I know that FN already has Juan Carlos Cruz, but frankly he's annoying and more than a bit creepy. She was fresh, lively and given a little more coaching I think she'd make a great host. Maybe I'm a little biased since our goals are similar. But I can't hide the fact that this once-fat-guy-now-almost-thin-guy would love to see a show that could give me new and fresh ideas for enjoying food and keeping the lovehandles corralled.
I feel that there's a true need for something better than the Calorie Crummando. If the Food Network knows what's good for them, they'll not be facist and give her a shot at her own show anyway. In my opinion, she was the true first runner up in the competition.
I hope someone at the network is reading this (probably not). You've got one viewer lined up for "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Thinner."
Update 6/30/05 - Susannah apparently is the host of a local weight loss show in the Boston area. You can look here for more information.
