I'm on whomever's side Mario isn't on. He's annoying and so is his screeching music. He gets the remote zap quicker than that Head On commercial.

Rachael Ray has got to be the most insipid, talentless, and uninteresting "personality" on television. Her culinary "adventures" are pedestrian and completely boring.

And in this "cookoff", here is the queen of food mediocrity competing against three chefs with formal training and actual restaurant experience.

How in the heck did she ever get her books published or find a slot on TV? Only in America.

Yeah, I'm not a Mario fan either.

What drives me absolutely crazy of these four chefs and their shows is Rachel Ray. On her 30 Minute Meals show she goes to the pantry, cupboard, refigerator and insists on trying to get every possible ingredient she needs and stacks everything in her arms before taking it over to the preparation area. Rachel! it's okay if you get two or three items at a time! instead of all 20 at once! It's not like the pantry is 5 miles away!

Of the four, only Rachel that does not have a formal education in culinary school. But, don't count her out yet. Especially since she's pairing with Mario.

Yeah, 12 books by Rachel so far.

Giada and Bobby Flay are the two stars of this foursome. With both of them paired up on the same team they should have no problem taking the title in this Kitchen Stadium battle.

If I were laying odds like on an NFL game I'd give Rachel and Mario at least 24 points. Bobby and Giada will still win by plenty.

"Yeah, 12 books by Rachel so far."

Danielle Steel has 71 books.

Rachel is cute, but she's no chef and has no breasts

Giada is a babe and a good cook. Plus, she's Italian. Mama Mia!

Flay and Batali are both supposed to be lower sphincter orifices.

"–noun Anatomy a circular band of voluntary or involuntary muscle that encircles an orifice of the body or one of its hollow organs."

Heh.

Her show comes on Sundays at 1 PM on Food Network.
It is must see TV in my household.

I love her and my wife loves her... for different reasons, of course.

And perhaps you could change your screen name to "humorless".

You do have a nice dog though.

I love Rachel Ray but putting her with the lefty loon Batali makes me want to puke!
