If you can prove he's exaggerating it with video/audio clips showing his accent isn't that strong off-air, I might agree.
Why would I need to prove this? Nowhere did I assert that he was faking it.
But the judges didn't even try to hide their bias for Tregaye, they came right out and said it was "hers to lose" weeks ago.
If both her food and presentation were well-received repeatedly, regardless of how cartoony you perceive them to be, scoring her higher than the others who performed less well in those things - how is it "bias" to say it was "hers to lose"?
She fulfilled the challenges, outperforming her competitors. Why is it "biased" to have acknowledged that fact? It's not like "yours to lose" hasn't been used in previous competitions with other contestants.
Not all of it, one of her deserts was a hot mess, and I don't think she cooks nearly as well as Damiano, who's technically more of a baker.
All of the contestants have had at least one dish that has failed in one way or another. All of the remaining 3, more than one. So I'm not sure how Tregaye having one "hot mess" of a dish somehow shows her to be worse than any of the others.
That said, I based my comment on the judges responses to her food. It's pretty difficult to tell how well someone cooks without tasting their food. On what are you basing your opinion that Damiano cooks better?
I'm pretty sure everyone understands what she means.
There are at least 2 posts I've seen today where the poster has claimed not to know what she means. Not to mention Ana said a much as well. So it would seem, no, not everyone understands.
it's just woefully unoriginal, cheesy, and unprofessional, no matter how desperately you seen to want to read something else into it, and irrelevant to the other cartoon characters, past and present, who for some reason, weren't pre-ordained by Bobby and Giada.
I definitely agree it's unoriginal and cheesy. Whether it's unprofessional is subjective. Since she's playing a character on a tv show, thus - entertaining. It would seem keeping in character - in front of the camera - is very much professional.

Perhaps either your or I need to review the definition of "desperate" as I'm unclear how presenting my impression on this threads, speaks of desperation. Or, perhaps it merely that you are among those as desperate to dismiss Tregaye because she appeals to audience that is, well, not you. She's not your cup of tea, therefore has no value.
I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.

You said, and I quote:
But how is Tregaye anymore of a caricature than than Damiano's "My Italian accent is just so thick"
By saying it was a caricature, you implied he's putting on some kind of act, unless you want to come right out and expose your sincerity in saying people with heavy foreign accents are "caricatures."
If both her food and presentation were well-received repeatedly, regardless of how cartoony you perceive them to be, scoring her higher than the others who performed less well in those things - how is it "bias" to say it was "hers to lose"?

On the same thing, his positive feedback from the judges, too, he's received glowing reviews, without all the silliness.

I shouldn't have spoken for "everyone," then. If they were exaggerating and pretending not to know what "boo" is, and all the other slang that's been around for years, that's on them, which is the feeling I get from posts like that...if they really didn't, they should get out more.

Guess it's not "reality TV", then, it's just a character being put on.
But hey, if their goal is a juvenile and urban cliché comedy character... if that's what they're really aiming for in a cooking show, she's right on target.

And I think you need to point out where I said she offers "no value." She's sufficed enough as a contestant on a show with a long line of cooks trying to sell what they consider as "unique enough persona" to warrant their own cooking show. She's a dime a dozen, and part of the dozen required to make a show like this, that's her value. I just find her ratchet cheesiness completely unoriginal and NOT even close to being worthy of getting her own show, nothing more, nothing less.
