Every time I start to like Damiano....


he has some snide remark. He's a great looking guy who I think assumes his accent will just let him slide through the competition and life. I can't even understand him 90% of the time.

He's eye-candy, but I can't understand him either. He's there for his looks, Ana for the drama.

My date last night was awful. And then he wouldn't even spend the night.

His proble is he's arrogant and insecure. He boasts but when the challenge starts he panicks like a child. then when he does well, he thinks he's better than everybody.

He also gets whiny and pouts when he can't find a way to make what he wants to make and then create a lame connection between his dish and the challenge brief. He did this back on Spring Baking Championship and is doing it again on FNS.

That's why he kept complaining about the frozen food challenge; he was unable to decide what he wanted to make first since the ingredients pretty much backed him into a corner.

He may be a great cook, but he doesn't play well with others and has an ego that goes all the way to Jupiter.

He is very rude, he was such a jerk to Tregaye when they were partnered up. He treated her like she as a child.

the dude's a complete dick! he again did not give someone credit with Ana and the drink she made for his guilty pleasure pasta dish. not sure why giada and alex guarnaschelli seemed to think he was so charming - i have a suspicion they're just attracted to him and like his italian accent.

I live in Chicago. We know when to take it to the street.

Seriously!!! His insecurity is so obvious. It's b/c he was just a bartender turned baker and knows that he has a lot to prove. He never went to pastry/culinary school and shouldn't be considered an official "chef." I don't know why he thinks he deserves to be so contemptuous of the other contestants, esp. on Spring Baking Championship. He b*tches ALL the time and I find him incredibly abrasive and narrow-minded. Yes, he's hot and his accent is sexy but his personality reminds me of a lot of guys I know in real life who seem really charismatic at first and then you get to know them better and you see just how much of a self-absorbed egotistical d*ck they really are.
