I think RR’s recipe is probably way too salty (Teriyaki sauce and bacon!). I’ve tried Giada’s recipe and it was awesome. I didn’t marinate the scallops though, but served them with a bowl of pesto and a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.

Wow, Giada won despite all the comments saying otherwise. Makes ya think, huh? People just love to hate RR.

The only way Rachael Ray can be considered “sultry” is if you are turned on by man hips, small breasts and crazy eyes.

Thank god I am.

I agree that Rachael got screwed on the photo, but honestly, even if she had better lighting, her bacon just doesn’t look as amazing as bacon should.

Raychel Ray’s food, anything she makes, looks like DOGFOOD.

RayRay got suckered here with a shitty photograph. I found it impossible to vote for her, even though I think she had the better recipe. I honestly couldn’t tell if RayRay skimped on the presentation (her fault) or someone else lost glory in the photo.

My friends and I have been replicating the Top Chef quick fire challenge and I made the pizza from the first round, I made a prosciutto, ricotta and spinach bbq pizza. The prosciutto was great, placed it on the cooked pizza for about 45 seconds in the oven, really good.

Btw, Giada’s look amazing!
