Food Network Star X: Star Salvation Finale

This is it everyone! Next week, the winner of Star Salvation meets the Top Six in Las Vegas. Who will it be? Will it be Chad, who has done a mighty job as The Chef From Another Season? Will it be Luca, whose early ouster because of his lack of camera skills shocked everyone? Or will it be Reuben, who was only ousted this past Sunday?

Food Network Star X: Star Salvation Round 5

With the holiday this week, we’re running our Star Salvation recap early. Usually I leave it until Friday so everyone has had time to catch up, but one of the perks of recapping online content–no being locked into a schedule. It’s all about when it’s convenient for you.

Now, to be fair, I don’t think Luca survived last week over Martie because there was no cooking involved. I do believe Luca can cook, even if I’m not sure the…

Food Network Star X: Star Salvation Round 2

Last time on Star Salvation, we learned that when the first person eliminated goes up against two Top Five contestants from earlier seasons, the results are that they get creamed. Do we think the second person eliminated will have better luck?

Let’s look at the odds. This week we’ve been promised a camera challenge. Martie not only spent an entire season charming the pants off the camera, she’s…
