Monday Morning Bitchfest


This article totally made my morning.

Rachael Ray Haters Unite

I mean, let's be real here. The phrase "EVOO" is the lingusitic equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy some of her recipes, but her mannerisms grate on my nerves. And have you watched $40 a day? Worst Tipper EVER.

Ha! Now let all the people who love her come out of the woodwork and be po'd.


(* And before you call me a Food Network snob let me tell you that I love The Food Network, especially Ina Garten, Paula Deen and Sandra Lee. )

(**Also I Cook Good is up and running again, and I plan on having my own little version of NaBloPoMo over there for the holiday season since the amount everyone cooks/bakes like triples this time of year. Check it out!)

oh :(
i love me some rachael ray! BUT i can also see why many people cannot stand her and am not po'd.

i do think though (and this is directed at teh article not at you personally) that if you hate someone maybe a good idea would be to NOT watch their show instead of watching it just to be pissed and complain about it because all that does is give them higher ratings and amke the tv peeps think they have something good.

ha! i feel like nothing can stop her. the ratio of people who LOVE her to people who CANT STAND her will always be like 95/5.

I'm sure some of her recipies are good and I watched her show a few years ago when it first came out but she is so overexposed I want to scream. I was in the grocery store on friday and there was a cardboard cut out of her in the cracker aise b/c she's houking Wheat Thins now. If there was one celebrity I'd punch in the face it would be her, hands down. (and I'm a pacifist!)

I think Rachel Ray and Peyton Manning are about the same. Most people love them... but I pretty much can't stand them because they both sell too much stuff. if you took all the ads with RR or PM out of circulation it would double the amount of free advertising space.

rachel ray is a metza metza. sometimes you love her and sometimes she is a bit too much

its hard to hate her

I am neither pro nor anti Rachael Ray since I don't watch the Food Network. I only know who she is from her huge Barnes and Nobles displays. What I do know is that the name of the woman who started the "I hate Rachael Ray Club" is "Misty Lane".
I would hereby like to start a club titled "I hate parents who give their children redneck stripper names".
Seriously. I really do.

Sarah said...

i do too!! maybe its a fake name. on the food network, they always host these cake and pie contests in Florida and the SAME woman enters every year and her name is Rayne Goddess. that cant be right. no way no how.

Oh - don't even get me started. I used to work in Medicaid. If you want to see evidence of child abuse, just look at some of the names these people gave their children. I know so many horrible (real) names that I could've written a book...if I hadn't been restrained by HIPPA regulations, of course.
But let's not forget the NH politician Dick Sweat...
NH has some cruel parents!!! There should be laws.

The commenters here who were somewhat to wholeheartedly positive about Rachael Ray did not once mention her recipes except suz, who isn;t even really pro-Ray.

She's poor white trash from the Cape. End of story.

Sarah said...

andy you always break it down

Rachel Ray definitely is one who makes me want to smack her upside her head. However, her Vodka Pasta is rather yummy - so I won't entirely hate her :)

AmyB said...

UGH, that woman annoys the shit out of me!!! I heart the Food Network (am sort of obsessed, actually), and have been pretty ticked off for some time that they have given this girl not one, not two, but THREE shows of her own, and THEN puts her on Iron Chef, to boot. Ick.

That woman is "the queen of adjectives" and in the AmyD household, we have gotten past "P.C." and joke that she must have turrets. And then I got a huge-ass laugh when she told a story about her grandpa, at which point she mentioned he was Italian. I was all, "Ohhhhh, that's why she uses her hands so effin' much!..." Yeah, I'm going to hell, but since Racheal Ray is so damn CHIPPER, I'm sure she won't be there to tease once I get there, anyway. ;o)

Used to love her, now I can't stand to hear her voice. Can you say overexposure?
