Hello everyone! It's the new season of my favorite show! Here is what happened on the season premiere of TNFNS.
The eleven finalists - Jen, Jamika, Katie, Brett, Michael, Eddie, Melissa, Teddy, Jeffrey and Debbie - met each other for the first time in their apartments.
Then, they were sent to the FN Test Kitchens where they met the judges of TNFNS: Bobby Flay, Bob Tuschman and Susie Fogelson. They presented the finalists with their first challenge: Make food for Food Network's 16th anniversary party. The finalists were split into 2 teams: the Green Team - Brett, Jamika, Teddy, Melissa and Jen - and the Red Team - Debbie, Michael, Katie, Jeff and Eddie. They were each given $1,200 to spend on groceries at Wholesome Foods. However, as Debbie and Michael were at the checkout, they realized that they were overspending, so they got rid of half of their groceries, which made their team really mad at Debbie, especially Jeff and Katie, who had to rework their dishes. However, Katie grabbed some of her dijon mustard she needed for her dish from the Green Team.
On the Green Team, Melissa's tarts were in trouble for not making the deadline, which they did, but they looked really ugly.
At the party, which included a lot of FN stars plus Access Hollywood, the Green Team served up their dishes first. Brett introduced his butternut squash soup, Jen with her green beans plus walnuts and tomatoes, Jamika with her spicy shrimp and slaw, Teddy with his potato gratin and Melissa with her apple tarts. As the FN stars tasted the food, they thought the tart was the favorite food, the shrimp was bad but the slaw was good, the green beans sucked, the potato gratin was raw and the beef tenderloin from Bretts dish wasn't appealing.
When the Red Team prepared their desert, the angel food cake was too sticky so they put pieces of the cake onto the plate covered with raspberry sauce and mint leaves. Debbie introduced her crab cakes, Katie with her salad and chards - she's a dietician - Jeff with his Grilled Zucchini, Michael with his filet mignon and Eddie with his B.L.A.S.T. bowl (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, Spinich and Tomoatoes) The FN stars thought the crab cakes had flavor, the filet mignon has spice, the grilled zucchini was crispy, the salad and chard were okay, the B.L.A.S.T. bowl seemed like the bacon had overpowering flavor and the cake was an absolute disgrace.
Then it came time for the first evaluation of the competition. The Red Team confessed about the limited foods they were forced to use. In the end, the judges couldn't decide on the winning team because each team had weak points, so the judges chose Jeff, Michael and Melissa as the winners of the challenge so they were safe for the first round, as did Jamika, Teddy, Katie, Debbie and Brett. Then it came down to Jen and Eddie. They decided to let Eddie stay and let Jen go, which made her very sad.
That's the first episode. Leave any comments on this thread and I will continue to post episode recaps every Sunday or Monday.

- Michael with a butternut squash salad, Katie with roasted shrimp with white beans - she rambled on her dish and Bob Tuschman thought this wasn't FNS material - Jamika with collard greens and cornbread, Eddie with some sort of fish dish - he told the judges that he made this dish for his girlfriend for their first date and shared TMI on it - and Jeff made avacado with lobster in it - it was a Mexican dish and it didn't connect with the holiday at all.
