With the latest Next Food Network Star challenge complete, Rachael asks the judges for their overall impression of the six finalists. The Food Network's Bob Tuschman tells Rachael, "I think they realize now how easy you make something that's very hard seem!" Rachael laughs. "See, Bob has to say that because he hired me," she says with a wink. "He started all this mess over a decade ago!"

Judge Susie Fogelson from the Food Network weighs in. "To be honest, I thought it was a mixed bag," she admits. "I think a couple of them really blew it out, but others, not so much." The contestants will have to wait until Sunday, July 5th to learn who will be eliminated (check local listings), but in the meantime, Rachael reveals where the remaining five finalists are headed for their next challenge -- Miami! "It's sort of like Vegas," Rachael jokes, "what happens in SoBe sometimes stays on SoBe, so I don't know what they've got in store for you down there!"
