Lisa Garza in the finals on the Next Food Network Star, and 3 Texans, including Arlington's Melissa Lawson, are looking to head into the finals on Nashville Star. And don't forget Daniel from Dallas is still in competition on Shear Genius.

Let us know who you think will win their respective shows.

Pick the winner? Easy, Aaron because it's been painfully obvious from the very start that the judges want him to win. The whole thing has been a slanted sham. With 20 minutes to go he suddenly remembers he has even started cooking chick parm?? How can anyone cook chicken parm in 20 minutes without even having the ingredients ready to prepare? Then Paula Dean claims it is "Hearty" and Bobby Flay claims it's one of the "Best" he has had?? Give me a break. He gets the easiest "promo" to tape last week. His food is poorly done, yet he gets to stick around because the judges feel he has only had one "Bad" week? The whole show has been inconsistent. The judges tell them to do one thing, then the next week, critique them harshly for doing the very thing they just told them they needed to do.


Lisa hands down! The 2 guys don't know enough about food to have gotten this far! And as for Aaron, he's just a sour puss!


I'd like Aaron to win simply because I think he knows how to cook the way I'd like to cook. Adam doesn't know enough for me to want to watch him cook. But I think, in the end, Lisa will win because she can cook AND looks good on camera. Whether any winner will last is anyone's guess. Their only real success was finding Guy Fieri, but even during that competition it wasn't obvious that he would win.


I think Aaron will win because there's only one african-american man on FTN with his own show, Roker on the Road. There are a ton of white men/women already established on this network.


I think Lisa is terrific. The guys are okay....but Lisa is experienced, knowledgeable, wonderful dishes and she is attractive and stylish. She will only get better before the camera as time goes by....I wish all of them the best...but I really really want Lisa to win.


Adam should win - his tv skills are good. Lisa's food is too complicated and time intensive for most home cooks. And she seems likely to have an anxiety attack and after the disaster with Amy finley Food Network can't take the chance. Aaron just can't get it together for tv.


Most of you guys are nuts. Lisa is just awful. Not only is her cooking not that great, her husband is the real wiz, but her personality is so grating. In fact, a fun drinking game would be to take a shot every time she cries. You can empty a lot of bottles that way. Don't get me wrong, I was excited to root for a fellow Dallasite, especially after such a great showing by Casey and Tre on Top Chef. It's just a shame it turned out to be this mediocre crybaby.


Lisa is my favorite! Paula Deen's shabby side was showing with her comment about hating Lisa's mac and cheese. If it doesn't have two sticks of butter in it, Paula doesn't like it.
