The Next Food Network flub

next food network starThe Food Network is one of my favorite channels, I admit it. I can tune in just about anytime and enjoy Ace of Cakes or Good Eats or Boy Meets Grill or Paula Deen, whatever. Generally speaking, they seem to have a good, consistent and enjoyable programming package.

Okay, that's what's good about FN. Now for the sour to go with the sweet. Last night I was catching up with The Next Food Network Star, watching the second showing of the reality competition show because I wasn't able to watch the original broadcast. No big deal, right? Wrong!

Half-way through the broadcast, before the judges had decided who was going to be asked to leave, setting up the final three contestants, Food Network showed a commercial promoting the next episode. There, clear as day, were the final three. There was no reason to watch the rest of the show I was engrossed in because the promo had already tipped off the big finish!

I can only guess that someone blew it in programming because there's no way that ad should have run till after the episode.

You know, this never happens on Bravo -- the king of the rebroadcast -- at least I've never seen it. Not with Project Runway, not with Top Chef.

Bottom line, that commercial spoiled the episode -- and the competition -- for me.
