Rachael's Rays

[bluecuracao]

I first disliked Ms. Ray when I watched an episode of $40 a Day. It was really the show concept that pissed me off the most--I think it encourages cheapskate travellers to tip measly, if at all--so I probably would've hated any host of the show.

Then I saw her interviewed on a talk show, and the pitch and manic speed of her talking literally gave me a headache. I don't know if she was nervous (how? She has something like five shows) or popped a pill backstage, but I couldn't keep watching.

I assumed that she is not much of a cooking expert, after I read a synopsis of Iron Chef and saw that she had to be paired with an actual chef to compete. I guess the point was to draw in her fans to watch; nothing wrong with that.

If you can't tip decently, you CAN'T AFFORD IT!
She is an asshole.
I miss Paul Prudhomme.
