Rachael Ray: Love Her or Hate Her?

[phillybri]

Poll question: Rachael Ray: Love Her or Hate Her?

Simple question, simple answers...

She's grown on me, she's what the mute button was invented for...

[vi5]

1. She's so not my type but I like her...

She's like the female friend who I'd want to set up with a guy who'll treat her nicely.

[eyesroll]

2. "And now, I'm going to handle the celery without washing my hands

after handing the chicken! It's so yummy! Where's my E.V.O.O.? Hee hee."

Can't stand her.

"Good Eats" is where it's at...:loveya: Alton...

[curlyred]

11. hee hee!

If I hear that one more time I am going to reach into the TV and strangle her!

Alton is definitely the man.........:)

[GOPisEvil]

3. Sign me up!!!

Love the 30 minute meals! :thumbsup:

$40 a Day as a concept is nice, but if you take that show too literally, you'll get pissed off.

She's cute, she seems as though she has some brain cells, and she loved Austin when she visited. A guy can dream, no?

[phillybri]

7. She came to the Triangle (NC)...

Last month. That chick gets around!

[GOPisEvil]

8. I'd have taken her to better places here, though.

My house, for example. :evilgrin:

[phillybri]

9. "This week I'm here @ GOPisEvil's love palace..."

"The specialty of the house is vodka screwdrivers and Cool Whip..."

:thumbsup:

[GOPisEvil]

10. "I exchanged my 2 $20s for singles.

I've been stuffing them in his waistband while he feeds me grapes...

:D

[Mrs_Beastman]

26. She is one crappy tipper

'Let's see...I had the beef tips...$14.95, a carafe of wine (hehe!)$9.00 and tip comes out to....1.34!

[UdoKier]

4. Never heard of her

TV cooking person?

She looks cute...

[phillybri]

6. She's on Food TV...Painfully perky...

And still I want to sleep with her...:evilgrin:

[mitchtv]

13. who?

she cooks?

[Love Bug]

5. I like her, even if she is perky

However, after seeing several of the $40 a Day shows, there is no way she can eat all of that food she orders and stay slim! I'll bet she only eats a few bites of what she gets...

[Beware the Beast Man]

12. Love, love, love, love, absoultely LOVE her!

She reminds me of Mrs. Beastman. She's definitely my biggest TV crush. And she likes to drink! :evilgrin:

mmm...to be a strawberry right about now...

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. She is abrasive and cooks wholly unappetizing food.

Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

Hate.

[redqueen]

15. Don't know, don't care. n/t

[slinkerwink]

16. I love her! She's what I would want in a wife

;-)

[short bus president]

17. With the "mute" button, or without?

With no sound, thumbs up. With sound, I prefer thumbs jabbed deep into my ears, seeking to rip out the hearing apparatus in order to spare me any further exposure to that horrific, piercing harpie shriek she calls a voice.

[bigwillq]

18. Hate her

She's so damn cheap on that $40 a day show
She never tips and I bet she really gets all that food for free or at least they give her a discount b/c the channel is really promoting all the restaurants she goes into to.

[pagerbear]

19. Totally indifferent to her

[soothsayer]

20. on the fence. Loved her, but ever since my sis pointed out that she never

shuts up for one second, her endless chatter has me on edge...!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. Have you seen her wash her hands?

I'd never ever eat her food just for that reason. Makes me wanna gag. She gets soap on her hands and immediately puts them under water and rinses. Unless you suds up for 10-30 seconds, depending on who you ask, and then rinse with warm water, then EWWW.
Duckie

[slinkerwink]

23. that's the way you have to do it in the food service industry

there's literally no time to be standing about washing your hands for five minutes willy-nilly. It's soap up your hands, and then rub them together under warm water. Then get back to chopping the vegetables or prepping the entrees. That's just the way it goes.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

25. Slink, I worked in Food Service for 2 years, and we managed the right way

Don't give me that cop out. Tell me where you were you saw this, and I'll be sure never to eat there. And 10-30 seconds is not hard nor is it five minutes!
Duckie

[JohnKleeb]

27. That doesnt sound sanitary to me honestly

Washing with warm water and soap is recommended procedure in the restaurant industry, if that's true about her hygiene, Ive never seen her show but if it is, it's bad hygiene, I myself have never worked in a restaurant but both my parents have waited tables at one point so I know the gimmicks of the shit.

[ChoralScholar]

31. Domino's Pizza has corporate signs

that go into the bathrooms that say "Wash your hands for 30 seconds or Sing Happy Birthday 2x"

[JohnKleeb]

32. ahh I didnt know that

Dad worked there too but it was in the mid 80's, early 90's and when we order Dominos' now we generally just order, my parents worked in actual restaurants, not take out places mostly though.

[Obamarama]

22. Giada DeLaurentis is SO much better....

It's obvious Rachel didn't get her show because she knows a lot about food, but rather beacuse of her perky attitude and perky tits. If you're not a serious foodie and you don't take her too seriously, the show is somewhat bearable.

Now who I really enjoy is Giada DeLaurentis. She does an Italian cooking show. She knows food, ingredients, processes AND she is hot (I may be gay, but I still think I know what qualifies a woman as "hot" and I think lots of straight guys would say Giada is hot.)

[slinkerwink]

24. I don't think she's hot---she's way too anorexic-looking for me

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. Never trust someone that Skinny to cook your food!

LOL
Duckie

[short bus president]

28. Isn't she the blonde

whose show is filmed through a cheap Mexican soap opera haze of vaseline smeared on the lens?

[kixot]

30. agreed

[last_texas_dem]

29. I'm on the fence

She's definitely pretty, but I've never seen the show and don't know much of anything else about her so can't really say. If I found out she was a liberal, though, that might be enough to sway me. haha

[AlCzervik]

33. Her and her "garbage bowl"...drek

[eyesroll]

39. What she doesn't realize is that you can use a bag

that you were planning to throw out (like the bag that held the vegetables or something) as a garbage BAG, and then you don't even have a bowl to wash...

[AgadorSparticus]

35. she's unwatchable to me. tried. can't do it.

[grace0418]

36. She seems nice enough

But yeah, her nervous giggle gets on my nerves. And she's a terrible tipper! And then to top it off, I saw she was on the cover of Guideposts when I was in the grocery checkout. I do like her cutie pie retro kitchen though.

[phillybri]

37. What is "Guideposts"???

:shrug:

[grace0418]

38. It's a inspirational Christian magazine

It's really sappy and kinda makes me want to hork. No offense to the Christian DUers, I just can't handle super-sappy stuff.

Here's a link:

[Phillycat]

40. I think she's really cute.

I like her show and I think she makes food that's pretty easy to prepare and isn't too intimidating. I'm not exactly a gourmet chef, so I'm probably not the person to judge that, but I like it. :)

I like people who are upbeat and energetic. It makes me feel positive.

[Paragon]

41. Would smack it up, flip it, rub it down

:evilgrin:

[denverbill]

42. Fence-sitter.

Like most of her recipes, love her retro-stove, and she's pretty cute.

But she's uber-perky, overuses words like 'groovy' and 'cool', and has an odd desire to carry enormous stacks of ingrediants rather than making 2 trips.
