Hate Poll: How Much Do You Hate Rachael Ray?
Posted by Kbone on Jan 04, 2008 · Member since Jun 2007 · 374 posts
I really, really hate Rachael Ray. I'm not a good enough writer to really put it into words. That would take Shakespeare. >:(
She's everywhere. She's ruining my life because I can't watch the Food Network for five minutes without seeing her phony, grinning, sellout face leering at me. She represents all that is wrong with this country, this planet, this solar system, this galaxy and the whole MF-ing universe. She is evil incarnate.
Help me to vent my white-hot hatred of her by contributing your own virulent tirades against the woman, the brand, the hellspawn Rachael Ray here in this thread.
Those three big egos from Iron Chef make me want to puke they're so arrogant. Has nobody mentioned Wolfgang Puck yet? GAAAAAHHH. :o >:(
I have a love hate thing for both Paula and Rachel Ray. They disgust me and annoy the crap out of me, but for some reason I love it. Am I a sadist? I saw RR make these vegetarian eggplant rolls on her talk show the other day, for a lactose intolerant staff member, she kept going on and on about how "if you are at home, ADD CHEESE, it makes it better, no really add cheese, you won't like it without cheese, cheese is great blah blah blah" . I think it takes way more talent and creativity to make a great tasting meal without the old standbys of meat and sour cream and cheese, which is why it is hard for me to respect most TV chefs/cooks.
I want one of those knives she uses
I got the three-piece set of those knives for Christmas! They are spiffy.
While curves, cheeks and cooking are good thing (ooo I have all three!) they do not offset her annoyance factor. Maybe bound and gaged but thats it!
OOOooo are you hopping on the pervert train too? lol ALLL ABOARD!!! :-* ;)
I like Rachel Ray, but her personality can get on my nerves if I'm hungover
I've only seen RR once. It wasn't even one of her shows. An Iron Chef competition was on TV when I was at my parents house for Thanksgiving and the secret ingredient was... cranberries! She looked like she was taking it seriously. I like her for that, but she was cooking not talking.
The only thing I know about Paula is from when someone posted a link to her butter ball recipe. I've questioned a lot of people about that. Are you supposed to eat the deep fried butter ball like an appetizer? I can't figure out what you're supposed to do with the final product.

display it on your mantlepiece, of course.

why, put it inside a burrito with beef and cheese, and then deep fry the burrito of course
deep fried food is amazing.
We have many TV chefs here too...most of them make me laugh cynically...like we don't know they don't do all their own prep, and that the "one I prepared earlier" was probably done by someone n their team, not themselves. I also heavily doubt they gather/write their own recipes (having read too many Frugal Gourmet--now there's an oxymoron, in his version--books back in the day). Over here in Europe, particularly the Brit chefs are always talking about their "restaurants"--plural. I don't see how you can run more than one restaurant and have it still be "your" cooking if someone else is doing it. You may set the standard but you can't be in say 3 different places at the same time, so most diners aren't getting "your food." Not to mention the "up myself" factor.
deep fried food is amazing.
...says the man who manages an EVIL, murdered-meat-serving, fatty food-frying restaurant!!!11!one
just kiddin' secondbase, you know that. I know that you're only part-manager.
;D
sillyness aside...
I grew up on deep-fried food...this is IOWA, home of the Iowa State Fair, home of the world's largest public feast of deep-fried EVERYTHING. we deep-fry everything from meat, to veggies, to vending-machine hostess-style cakes and cookies, to bacon-wrapped waffle tacos with a butter stick for a core*
...At my house, it was mostly frozen Schwan's food for dinner (perhaps twice a week or so, excluding any possible leftovers finished throughout the week)...chicken strips, fries, cheese balls (oh how I loved those, I cannot even believe it now)...
But now I get physically ill if I eat too much oil/grease. it's just not good for my guts.
and I guess I'm pretty glad, because now I have NO excuse for putting that shite into my body.
*yeah, I sorta stole that from the Simpsons...but it's pretty much no different from the junk that we do feature at this carnivale-de-grasa.
most of the people with shows dont talk the whole time and the show is nice and relaxing and you have time to think and be like "that food looks terrible." BUT NO. rachael has to blather the WHOLE TIME about NOTHING and then she just repeats things that she already said and her voice is so terrible and then she gestures way too much and lhsdflgkhskghs i adghadjkgha. im not a fan.
paula deen is tolerable. but not her talk show because that is totally fake paula deen. the older episodes are ok because shes not being crazy on purpose.
I'd like to share the love about sharing the hate.. ok, "annoyance" at Rachael. She frightens me, just like Giada - too smiley, too bouncy.

AGREED! I find, against my will, that I am interested by cooking shows, if only because I know I can never work that fast and loose in my own kitchen.. I'm dying for an all-vegan Top Chef or Iron Chef or terrible-cooky-show-of-the-week. They look pretty on the TV, but I won't believe they have talent until they can let go of the tired staples and make good food for a change.
And as for Paula - she's a spokesperson for Smithfield, like all other big meat producers, a flagrant violator of the minimal labor laws we have in this country. Smithfield is evil, and as far as I'm concerned, that makes Paula evil by association. The campaign for Smithfield workers has tried, unsuccessfully, to get Paula to stop shilling for them.

(Yes, had you guessed? A large part of my veganism is related to the labor movement.. :))
I stopped hating Giada's weird behavior when I saw a show on the history of her TV career... she is super-shy and there are people telling her to amp up her behavior. And they're behind the camera, making big hideous smileys and drawing their fingers in the ol' upside down rainbow in front of their lips, and jumping up and down "projecting"... it's a wonder she's not got the stage presence of Twiztid.
She looks like a midget with no neck and a FAT COW TONGUE in her mouth. I always secretly wish she would choke on it. Why does someone so obnoxious have to have 4 shows? Jeez...her 30 minute meals are only 30 minutes because everything she uses in them is pre-chopped or half-cooked. I'd like to know where I could find thinly sliced and pitted avocados or canned whole chickens lol
Ah, just a exaggerated rant. But I do hope her babies are deformed. :)
...i guess an emo kid with hair fallen in front of one eye and bandages on their wrist every week wouldn't sell a cooking show as well...
lolol... you could call it "cooking with self-loathing!"
Ill bet that fat cow tongue can do wonderful things

Oh. No. Why did you have to go there? Gross.
