200 people showed up for the casting call and waited around the whole day - a captive audience of a bunch of ludicrous foodies and what does The Food Network do?
Nothing.
Haven't they learned a damn thing about reality television from Idol? When you have a hit show, milk the shit out of it. Currently, the Next Food Network show is ten episodes long. Do you know how many episodes there are of American Idol? Fifty goddamned five fucking episodes! 55! No BS. 55 one hour long episodes. You know why? Because companies will buy the ads.
Hey, Food Network! How many more years of this show before the wheels fall off? No one knows, but if you wanted to make some more money on this franchise, you might want to consider getting a reality TV consultant to help you out on the next season!
