Most annoying Rachael Ray mannerism

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Most annoying Rachael Ray mannerism

I actually kind of like her, though most of the options below hit me like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[Droopy]

1. Who is Rachael Ray?

[Bossy Monkey]

4. She's a rather lovely young woman who has several shows on Food Network

Someone will be showing up momentarily with pictures from her photo spread in FHM, like they always do.

[LisaL]

14. She is a very perky young woman that has a cooking show.

Makes meals in 30 minutes.

[ClassWarrior]

2. Mmmmmmmmmm...

Rachel :loveya: Ray...

NGU.

[trof]

18. Perky. WAAAAYYYY too perky.

[underpants]

3. Other-NOT taking off her shirt

Don't evn get me started on Semi-Homemade...every episode is very disappointing

[Bossy Monkey]

6. I find Giada de Laurentiis more of a problem in this regard personally

but would not think to argue with you about it.

[Reciprocity]

9. She is known as Tits-N-Teeth at our house.

Meaning, Giada de Laurentiis.
She always wears very tight low cut attire. So right off you know this anorexic fashion maven, who looks like a single pea would put weight on her, is no cook. She is the show not the food.

If you have seen one of her shows you've seen them all. First is the close up of her chopping onions, then the BIG smile, then back to chopping garlic, BIG smile, tight shot of cleavage, BIG smile, repeat.

[LisaL]

15. Are you freaking kidding? Rachel Ray is not even skinny.

She is not anorexic by any means.

[Reciprocity]

17. You didn't notice that I was replying to #6 and not the original message.

I think Rachel has a nice figure. I like her and her cooking. The giggling however starts to grate on my nerves after a while though.

[LisaL]

37. Well, great. Cause if you thought Rachel Ray is skinny....

You would need to have eyes examined.
:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

38. True dat

She seems to have gained a few pounds lately, not that it makes her look bad, She is a very good looking woman.

[mcscajun]

13. I'll watch Rachel Ray...sometimes...but NEVER "Semi-Homemade"

That show is an abomination to the foodies of the world.

Emeril -- will still watch him on occasion.

Tyler Florence -- ANYTIME -- for the food and (yum) for the "eye candy" Did I mention eye candy? :evilgrin:

Alton Brown -- Frequently -- for the chemistry and the tips.

Paula Deen -- Oh, yeah, even though some of her "creations" border on semi-homemade.

Mario Batali -- If Real Italian is what I want to see.

[KitchenWitch]

29. What? you don't like Sandra Lee's "tablescapes"

:rofl:

[mcscajun]

31. Um...uh....ugh....

:puke:

[XanaDUer]

5. Yummo?

Must have missed that one.

[friesianrider]

30. GOD yes. And the EVOO is really annoying.

Frankly, she annoys the crap out of me. Anyone THAT excited and perky about food is just...weird.

[yewberry]

7. Well, not exactly a mannerism...

She chronically undertips on "$40-a-day." They keep the math pretty well obscured, but if you pay attention you'll notice.

That just sucks!

[the_spectator]

8. I've never seen her

as I don't have cable, (I only catch up on cable shows when I'm travelling and staying at a hotel/motel) but why is it that SO many TV chefs are so ANNOYING?

Like that Nigella Lawson, who flounces around like some kind of porn star?

Like that Bobby Flay, who works ever-so-hard to maintain his overgrown-frat-boy-from-Joisey persona, I guess to make foodie men who are insecure about their own sexuality feel comfortable.

Like that Jamie Oliver whose tongue is just too frigging BIG for his mouth, so he can't speak properly. And would you want to eat anyting he's cooked if he's TALKED over it? Spittle city!

[Akoto]

10. My favorite TV chefs ...

Emeril Lagasse. I just like his attitude, and sometimes he makes really good stuff. He's also a friendly guy, I had the pleasure of briefly meeting him once. :)

Julia Child. Need I explain?

Paula Deen. Anyone whose recipes require a full stick of butter, no matter their intended application, is alright by me. Her laugh reminds me of my aunt, too.

Anthony Bourdain. He's sort of vulgar sometimes, but he does some really cool stuff and doesn't seem to be absorbed in his celebrity.

Anybody on Iron Chef. :D

[Reciprocity]

16. Is Nigella Lawson, the cook that is from Indian extraction?

If so I loved her dishes. Her use of spices gave me food for thought. That said, she had a very porn come hitherness about her that was oh so distracting.

[the_spectator]

21. I don't think she has Indian blood,

although she might look a little like that. In fact, she is the daughter of one of Margaret Thatcher's Chancellors of the Exchequer,
Nigel Lawson!

[Reciprocity]

25. It was Padma Lakshmi.

She used to be on the Food Networks Melting Pot.
This is her bio there.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/padma_lakshmi/article/0,1974,FOOD_9920_1770158,00.html

That said if you Google her name you will find semi-nude photos of her.

[Akoto]

11. The sammies thing grates on me, but ...

She is still a babe. :D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. The thing about the EVOO that annoys the crap out of me..

is the fact that she doesn't just say it's EVOO, she also says Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I think I've heard her just abbreviate like once! UGH. But I watch her anyway. It's like a train wreck...
Duckie

[Arugula Latte]

23. I know -- that's annoying.

If you have to explain the acronym, then what's the point, because you've taken twice as long trying to get your point across ...

[Arugula Latte]

24. The giggle thing annoys me.

However, overall I do like Rachael.

[Maddy McCall]

19. She tries too hard to be "cool."

Can't stand her, really.

[SOteric]

20. As I understand it, Rachel Ray's most annoying

characteristic is that she isn't beating down GOPisEvil's door, begging for his romantic attention.

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

27. Apparently she's found some other guy's door to beat down.

Lucky stiff.

Oh well...c'est la vie.

[ChoralScholar]

22. I watch Rachael Ray on mute.

just as I do Shania Twain videos.

[KitchenWitch]

26. It is a tossup between:

Smashed potatos
Stoup (cross between soup and stew)
EVOO
Sammies
Yummo!
and "How good does THAT look?"

[Reciprocity]

34. Also when she drops anything she say's " overboard".

[AlCzervik]

28. "Garbage Bowl"

[KitchenWitch]

32. Oh gods yes

I forgot about the"garbage bowl"

Why not have a small trash can near your work area?

[AlCzervik]

33. I hate when she says "Garbage bowl it" "Put into the old garbage bowl"

and where the hell does she empty it? I could see if it was just wrapping and the scraps of vegetables but she drains damn liquids in that thing, where the hell is she gonna dump that where it doesn't stink?

[eleny]

35. I want to see her drop an armload of ingredients

And drop the act.

[yorgatron]

36. i can watch rachel ray occasionally,

usually with the sound OFF!

[democracyindanger]

39. Annoying?...or SEXIEST?

Rrrawr!

[hickman1937]

40. I like her. She grew up in restaurants her mother worked in.

Watching her has made me less skitzy about trying new cooking stuff, but my heart is with Michael Chairello. God, he's hot. I wish I lived next door to Paula.
