FOOD NETWORK FINALE BLUNDER* Spoiler alert

As an avid devotee of the Food Network and particularly of the Next Food Network Star show, imagine my shock and surprise when I am told the Finale winner is revealed three days early on their website.

In an effort to provide damage control, they have erased many blog entries and comments regarding the early reveal and viewings of the exit interviews of the non-winners.

Sadly, for those that supported the NFNS winner, the win feels tainted and more like a handout than a true victory.

It would be classy if the Food Network would actually admit their mistake and apologize for the error. Considering their sudden 'changing of the rules' last week, this will most likely be a longshot.

Winning 10 piece RR cookware from Foodnetwork.com

Won the 10 piece orange Rachael Ray cookware set from Foodnetwork.com. On a whim, I submitted a very quickly written poem about the sad state of my cookware.

WINNER of Rachael Ray's 10-pc Porcelain Enamel Orange Cookware
Post in the comments below why you would benefit most from a new set of cookware:
"Making a Family Meal
Can be quite an ordeal
One pan, one pot
Is all that I've got
And a lid?
Who am I trying to kid?
I can't get water to steam
This hand-me-down set
Arrgh! I want to scream!
A wedding set
We did not get
My cookware is a mess
Can I use this pot-
When it is handle less?
The Rachael Ray set
Orange or blue eclectic
Would work on my stove
An ordinary electric
No flat top for me
I'm a little behind
Winning this set
Would really be fine!"
