And then there were 7 Food Network All Star Academy contestants. Although Bill Joerger III @phillyfire4106, Team Michael Symon, won the Social Media Challenge last week with the most Twitter Followers at 64 (!) he didn’t fare as well on All Star Academy. As with any competition, FoodTV or social media, you’re on top one week and perhaps gone the next! With a team of One, the pressure is on for Team Michael. Vanessa Craig @v_lovesfood we know you’re up for the challenge.

Team Michael – Twitter Stats Week 1, Week 2, Week 3
Chef Mentor: Michael Symon Contestants: Vanessa Craig
The live tweeters of All Star Academy didn’t get why Chef Symon told Bill to add cinnamon to his dish. Perhps the tweeples were right .. Judge Geoffry Zackarian @gzchef much didn’t like it either and cost Bill the round. Twitter @KayCo51 “It’s a sin to use too much cinnamon.”
“@jnewin10: @FlavCity Zackarian didn't like Bill's Food but it was Michael Symon's idea. #AllStarAcademy” Cinnamon is dangerous.
