  • jason

    CAN NOT stand her

  • marilinda

    LOVE HER!!
    But she is a annoying, I will be the first to admit it. And I have no need to watch her talk show.

  • Lora

    I love Rachel, but she’s getting dangerously close to Emeril-esque market saturation

  • dave

    funny thing is, i just watched the episode along with you michael, and that’s exactly how i felt. love a good 30 minute meal now and again, but not when i’m being screamed at the entire time. it’s like she took a page from oprah’s book of projection. i can only imagine what it’s going to be like tomorrow when oprah comes on the show with her!

  • mike

    I’ve never heard of the Rachel Ray. I don’t watch her 10 shows on the Food Network.
    I did see her on Letterman. What the hell is that woman on?

  • SLICKS

    Can’t really stand her either. She’s too perky. I think the evil within is dying to break out. Having said that, I love some of the stuff she whips out in 30 Minute Meals.

  • jilly

    I felt this way with her “Inside Dish” show she had a year or so ago. Cooking with celebs in their homes or restaurants. She laughed at EVERYTHING. I really enjoy her 30 minute meals; been watching it for a few years now but there is such a thing as being too enthusiastic. Doesn’t she ever have a bad day?

  • Theo

    I would like to make sexy time with her. Is nice.

  • tammy

    I think she’s trying too hard to be the cute, peppy, alternative to talk tv in the morning. I did like how the audience moves with her as she moves around her set. I do think it’s cool she has a real working kitchen. Some of the highlights for up coming shows looked good like a burger cook-off with Jimmy Kimmel. But yes, she was way too much of everything today. Give her time to get into a rhythm and check back in a couple of weeks to see how it’s going.

  • Rishi

    Rachel Ray is a fake 2 face evil witch. One camera is all cute, but when they are off, she is a B I T C H

  • Rachel

    Heard from a reliable source, she is not a nice person to work for or with. She is very angry person. This will come back and bite her in the arse. And she is not way near Emeril. Does she actually now how to cook REAL food

  • Stacey

    She’s a horrible tipper also.

  • angela

    Too annoying!!! Can’t watch — she gets on my nerves big time.

  • Allison

    Yes, she’s SUCH a bad tipper. It’s embarassing.
    I also heard she is quite cold and pretty weird in person. I know someone that was on “$40 A Day” with her and she says she was a freak.

  • Melissa

    God forbid anyone be happy in life or enjoy their career. Get over yourselves.

  • Baco Noir

    RR, how can we miss you if you won’t go away? Why am I not surprised ‘miss nice’ on TV is a harridan off.

  • Just me

    There’s enthusiasm and then there’s trying TOO hard, the “you like me, you really like me!!” syndrome.
    Uh, um, no Rachael, I don’t….go away.

  • missy

    She is definitely on something besides caffeine. She never screamed, got bug-eyed, and waved her arms around when she first started. Her recipes are crap now also. Can she make one more hamburger? BLAH!

  • Theo
  • jon

    Of course Rachael can enjoy her career, but like my next door neighbor who loves her radio and has a hearing problem, does she have to love her career so LOUDLY!

  • terrific

    I get excited and enthusiastic sometimes and have been referred to as loud at times, which really hurts my “feelers.” I cannot begrudge Rachel Ray’s loudness or spontaneity. Beats being a dead ass.

  • Jimmy

    I think she is adorable. I’d hit it.

  • Anita

    She is SO over exposed. I’m just tired of her. I never even heard of her until recently and am just inundated with her face on all the entertainment, talk shows. Is she another one of Oprah’s posse? (like Dr. Phil).

  • BT

    Give Rachael a chance. Sure she is everywhere, but wasn’t Martha Stewart? Anyway, I’d like her to dethrone Martha. THAT lady is so much into herself. What i REALLY wish is for Samantha Brown to have her own talk show. SHe really is a nice big sister.

  • Jim

    As a veteran of two Rachel book signings, what you see is what you get–the laugh, the volume, the enthusiasm, everything. Yeah, she could take it down a notch or two but then we’d be asking what happened to her.

  • Auriana

    She’s always been way too hyper for my tastes. I find this mock interview with her hillarious. http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=2938

  • Annatree

    She is just too loud

  • Dee

    I like Rachel but it is overkill. She can be too over the top.

  • Pete

    We lover HER!
    (BTW, the all caps is annoying.)
    Thanks.

  • Gretchen Weiners

    I want to hit her in the face with a frying pan.
