8. Josh Adam Garcia
Josh Adam Garcia was a fan favorite on season three of The Next Food Network Star. Affectionately dubbed “JAG” by fans, his profile was boosted by his claim that he served with the marines in Afghanistan and was now trying to have a go at a new profession. As it turned out, this was a slight embellishment, which as you can imagine, did not go down well with anyone.
According to The Army Times, he didn’t spend nearly two years in the infantry, never even deployed to a warzone and it was unclear whether he was ever a corporal. In reality, he was asked to leave after less than nine months as a private. The lies didn’t stop there. As it turns out, he never even finished culinary school in New York, as he claimed later. Twitter trolls now refer to him as a jag off.

7. Giada De Laurentii (Part II)
Giada is back for round two, mostly because she likes tasting her own dishes across her shows. Harmless enough, right? Wrong. As it turns out, she rarely lets the food get anywhere near her mouth during filming, and when shots of her eating are showing, most of the time a double is used for the scene.
There are some times when she is visibly shown eating, especially if she’s making a guest appearance on another program. When this happens, she reportedly spits out the food once the camera stopped rolling, having a trusty bucket next to her to get all of it out before swallowing. Her publicist claims this isn’t true, while admitting that she doesn’t swallow sometimes, mostly because it can take ten takes to get the scene shot to the satisfaction of the director. You’re forgiven, Giada.
