Hatred of Rachael Ray can be a powerful uniting force

Consumer culture and indeed popular culture revolve in large part around shared admiration, shared likes: Fandom, in a word, is a thing that can bring us together.

But what about shared dislikes? Can a community form around that? What is the opposite of a fan club? The answer is the Rachael Ray Sucks Community.

Cat Cora's 'got it!' Haha! Too bad she isn't interested in letting guys enjoy 'it!' ;-)

I like her a lot - a great chef! I love it how in the opening credits of Iron Chef America she is featured trotting around a corner in Kitchen Stadium holding a pan, she extends her arm and confidently twirls the pan in her hand! Badass!

She is underused on Iron Chef, though. A shame.

A shame. RR does strike me as a nice enough person. Hope this all works out for her.

Giada is very pretty, but I find her too skinny to be a trustworthy cook.
To each their own, though! :)

I'm sure! Alton Brown rules it!

I had an idea a while back that The Food Network would invade the World Wrestling Federation, and that Alton Brown would be the brains/manager of the invading Food Network forces!

Would have been great TV!

I have the same bias, actually. I tend to not be trustworthy of a chef who isn't at least paunchy or a bit chubby.

I tend to let that slide for women chefs, though. You can trust in Giada's cooking though - it's fantastic!

Sandra Lee is great, too. Like I said, the whole FN lineup is good and at best, several are great!

I think the best personality on Food Network is Alton Brown

You got that right! Kinda like "Mythbusters" on the food channel. You can actually learn something!

Well, according to the tabloids... her husband was sneeking around with another woman, but, you didn't hear it from me.
