197. I am a chef and i try to never lie in the kitchen. I would rather be thought just a idiot then be thought a idiot and a liar. That being said it is a shame what has happened. His show is one of the few shows iI still watch on food network. I think that America can forgive a little bit of resume embelishing. I also agree with everyone else no more Rachel Ray.

198. Big deal
we do not watch him for what he has done but for what he is doing at the time of filming that is just plain stupid to cancel him for embellishing his past we are not looking at flash backs when we watch dinner impossible are we???? get real people and use your brains

199. While I agree he should not have lied on his resume, I think it was just plain stupid for Food Network to fire him. It was a popular show and he is still a talented and interesting guy regardless of his past. Can the Food Network administration put on a dinner for that many people in that length of time given tools he had to work with? I very much doubt it. This was one my mom's and my favorite shows on FN and we never missed taping it. I for one don't think it would be the same with some other chef. I think they just need to can the show all together. I'll sure miss it and Robert.

200. I like Food Network but they need to learn how to check these things out before they give someone a million dollar show, shame on them. What's next, Rachel Ray is really a chief pretending to be incompetent?

201. It is a real shame that "Dinner: Impossible" will no longer be on the Food Network; I personally enjoyed the show, and watched faithfully for a long while. On the flip-side, why Robert Irvine felt the need to lie about his credentials baffles me. He is an excellent chef with or without the embellishment of The Royal Family, and Princess Diana's (RIP) wedding cake.

I'm not a therapist, however . . . . everyone, at one point or another, has embellished/lied about their "status" and/or "achievements." The real question here is, why did Robert Irvine feel the need to lie? The Food Network has a bit of culpability here too; Robert Irvine is NOT the first "star" on their network to have been "let-go" for reasons other than poor camera presence. One would think that The Food Network should do a thorough background investigation/resume verification BEFORE hiring a contractual employee! Right? Right.

Too bad, I truly did enjoy the show.

202. I don't care if he lied-I liked the show alot with Robert. I will watch the new one but if it's not to my liking I won't watch it.
