Body language says Melissa d’Arabian is Next Food Network Star
Posted By Teresa Gubbins in Square Pegs on August 2, 2009
We'll know the outcome of Season 5 of Next Food Network Star in less than five hours, but half the fun lies in guessing first. A sneak peek of the finale provides a pretty good clue.
The entire clip is only 2:06 minutes long, but if you're impatient, scroll through to the :06 point when they show the hug between contestants Melissa d'Arabian and Jeffrey Saad, right after the winner is announced.
For your convenience, here's the money shot:

There, see it? See Melissa's facial expression? See that combination of elation combined with just a hint of "there-there" pity for Jeffrey? (Whose no-doubt-saaad face is very conveniently hidden.) Tell me that body language doesn't simply REEK "I'm the winner."
