Hahahaha those Rachel Ray photos are brill! Whose body did they photoshop that face onto? Those are the silliest, most unsexy shots possibly ever taken.
I cannot stand Rachel Ray, and her appeal escapes and angers me. What is so special about someone who throws a few cheap, uninspired, often packaged ingredients together? And her travel shows teach us to seek out great places to dine, and then leave lousy tips for the waiters.
Sandra Lee- personally, not a fan. I do know she has a HUGE gay following (perhaps due to her alcoholism/cocktail recipes) or perhaps due to the fact that I believe she raised her younger gay brother by herself (forgetting the full story). She's like Valley of the Dolls meets Carol Brady.
Alton Brown- beyond irritating. He is neither "kooky" nor "funny." If he hosted a children's show, it might make more sense. Completely unwatchable.
Ina Garten- I have to agree with the "pretentious hippo" comment. It doesn't take a culinary degree to know that if one adds butter, then cream, then more butter to a dish, it's gonna taste good.
Paula Dean- I sort of like her. Because she DOES realize that adding butter and cream makes everything taste better, and doesn't try to hide it behind pretension or a Hamptons mansion. Plus, it is priceless when she licks a finger full of batter and her eyes roll to the back of her head.
