My niece, who is only 12, looks just like her.

I have always like RR because of her bubbly personality. And her smile.

Paula Dean talks the way I grew up down in Florida. I like her, also, but ALL of them use way too much oil in their cooking, and Paula is the worst of them.

I like Paula Dean, too. She has that old FL/GA accent I can listen to for hours.

Paula's wonderful, and I would love to visit her restaurant someday!

Like i said, there isn't a Food Network personality I have any kind of dislike for. Ray is a low talent who was pushed to far, too fast. I don't think there is a chef on Food Network who isn't much better than her. Thats not to say she is bad - the gang in marketing decided she would be a great personality and ran with it.

They overplayed their hand with Rachel Ray. Still, it's difficult to hate her. I am just finding her increasingly ubiquitous presence annoying, and I'm not alone.

Double R was never really thin vbut she had a nice build, but I saw one of her cracker commercials on tv and I initially didn't recognize her. She looks to have gained about 20lbs - which at her stature and frame is way, way too much.

It's the B U T T E R with Paula.

I love her, but since I found out she's a HUGE Jimmy Carter fan.....well, you know.

Paula Dean will KILL you. My cholesterol level goes up just watching her for 5 minutes.
