I'm a huge Rachael Ray fan. I can't get enough of her 30-Minute Meal show on the Food Network, and she will be appearing on Iron Chef America later this year (Entertainment Tonight had a behind-the-scenes look at this show).

But I know there are people who don't care for her. A completely useless topic I know! But dish anyway

Rachel Ray can grate on my nerves but I have learned to almost like her. Whereas when I first watched her show I HATED her with a passion. I just don't take her seriously. Now I focus all my hatred on Sandra Lee. I loathe her.

I like her too! I dont even care for the food she cooks, but she has a fun personality. The one I cant stand is that Barefoot Contessa. Ugh!

I love her, but I think she's very polarizing. People who are familiar with her either really, really like her or really, really dislike her. I like the 30 Minute Meals concept -- I like to cook, but I'm a young guy, I live alone, and I'm not a gourmet chef. Her stuff is accessible, which I think is an enormous part of her appeal. And I think she's fun, but I say that as someone who is also kind of loud and has a big, insane personality, so I can totally see why she grates on people.

Now I focus all my hatred on Sandra Lee. I loathe her.

Heh. I love to hate her. She's so stupid and so bad at cooking and so crazy. I sit with baited breath waiting to see what she'll ruin and how she'll accomplish it. The way she bungles the English language is a goldmine.

Wow, two Food Network threads in the span of 2-3 days!

I don't care for Sandra Lee myself. I think her show is lame.

Love her. I've tried a few of her dishes and they are great. Loved her Tortilla Stoup.

Rachael is a favorite! In Nashville she airs opposite B&B during the week! So,no B&B for us!

I heard on college campuses they have drinking games when she is on.Each time she says "BEEYOUTEEFUL" or "How good is that" or "EVOO" they take a drink.

I agree about Sandra Lee.

LOVE that southern gal Paul Deen!!

LOVE Rachel Ray!

She rocks!

Yea, lol...I suppose "love to hate" is the better way to put it cause I hate her but I love to make fun of her. My favorite things about her is how she feels the need to explain every little thing to the audience like we are complete morons and how she dresses to match her kitchen decor that she changes to match what she is cooking. Oh, and how she over pronounces her words, example: "thats alllllllllllllll you have to do" I could go on and on.

I like her too! I dont even care for the food she cooks, but she has a fun personality. The one I cant stand is that Barefoot Contessa. Ugh!

Yea...I'm not so crazy about her either. Its her condescending tone that gets me.

But other than them i pretty much like all the food network people/

I like Rachel Ray, probably the only time you will catch me watching the Food Network, maybe the southern older woman too.

Once I saw this !@#$%^&*] on there have to have everything color coordinated, with what she wore. My mom says yeah she changes the colors of her kitchen just to match what she is wearing/cooking. How snoody and uppity is that, who has the time and money to do that, the rich blond !@#$%^&*]! Does anyone know who I am talking about.

That blonde !@#$%^&*] would be Sandra Lee..and yes, she does in fact color coordinate her kitchen and clothes, !@#$%^&*] has no life.

Thanks for clearing that up!

LOVE her & my southern girl, Paula Dean!
