Rachel Ray

She is rude as usual. Poor Mary Beth. She can't say three words without a screaming interruption.

She is just not my favorite. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I find her to be annoying. I know I'm in the minority here.

She is loud. Like she doesn't know she has a microphone. I do like her exuburance in cooking, but I have never wanted to buy any of her cookware. I think oval pans take up too much stove space - 4 round ones fit better than oval ones. I don't think she has merited years & years on the Food Channel, a little of her goes a long way IMO.

I know she can't help her raspy voice but I cannot listen to her and her hoarse voice, drives me nuts.

I cannot listen to her. Her voice and all her mannerisms drive me nuts.

I don't have many feelings, one way or the other, but I just tuned in with 9 minutes left in the hour, so see what is being discussed. Wow, it didn't take two seconds to see RR totally interrupt MBR every few seconds.

Is this a new version of manners or something? I notice a lot of people are interrupty and over-talky these days. That used to be considered profoundly rude (and STILL is by me!), but it just seems to be the way it is now.

As for RR's voice - I remember several years back she had some sort of operation for the problem she was having. I hope she isn't having something serious, but I thought it was supposed to fix her raspy voice problem and, I would imagine, the discomfort that goes along with that.

I agree. She has bad habit (like a couple of other vendors) of interrupting a lot. She even did it a lot with Rick a while back and it is unusual for him not to be able to get a word in. I watched a couple of minutes today with Marybeth and that was enough. I have never purchased from her line.

I absolutely loved watching Rachel on Food Network when she first went on air, back around 2004-2007?? She was calm and quiet - truly a different person than she is today. I don't watch Food Network anymore. I would love to find some "vintage Rachel" videos.

I was taking in some daytime tv yesterday and thinking WHAT is it with screaming women now? On TV they scream all day long. The hosts, the audience just all shrieking at the top of their lungs. What on earth have women become???

http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/recipe/17188_Pulled_Chipotle_Chicken_and_Fixins/index.html

This recipe was on her show a couple of weeks ago. If you like spicy, this is FABULOUS.

My sister can't watch her- the raspy voice drives her nuts. I watch whenever I can, I like to watch her cook and listen to her tips.

Her tip on this recipe- when you open the can of chipotle peppers, freeze the rest in a small baggie. When you need more, just slice it off!!!

I used to like watching her also until she got louder, just like Paula Deen. I think some get to big for their britches and they think they are all that. I totally agree they should be told to let the host sell

When I saw that the Rachel Ray presentation was on I decided to take a look and see if she had any "Bubble&Brown" in the show, as I like that product. She was constantly interrupting Mary Beth and talking over her. I just couldn't watch this rudeness very long and turned it off. I have wondered why the director at QVC doesn't tell her to let the show host do the selling and follow her lead? She didn't behave this way when she initially came to QVC.

Is there anybody out there that people on this forum like?? There isn't a day that goes by that people around here don't throw stones at some host or vendor. I guess this forum has the most ""perfect"" members - nothing about your appearance and personality can be faulted by anyone? Post some pics and videos of yourselves and let's see how we perceive you. Geez.

She really has become obnoxious over the years. She used to be lovely, pleasant and interesting on her earlier cooking and travel shows. Since she has had such success with her talk show and cookware line she has turned into a crazy woman,lol!

On her talk show she waves her arms around like a lunatic, gesticulating madly. It is ridiculous! And she constantly interrupts her guests and finishes their sentences.

She has become unbearable to me.

Well, it wouldn't be the Q Board if somebody didn't come along to tell everybody how horrible they are for discussing or expressing their opinions about somebody in the public realm.

First time I put anybody on ignore in a long time here. It gets tedious.

You aren't the only one. I have never been able to watch her on any show.

Lindas — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:02:19 GMT

I dislike Rachel Ray immensely...loud, overbearing,dislike her products and recipes. I NEVER watch her shows or when she is on any show. So I understand what others are saying.

Re: Rachel Ray

paShar — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:48:29 GMT

She is used to having her own show and being the only one talking. I imagine it would be difficult to step back and let someone else take over.

Also, for those who complain about her raspy voice...I read that she had throat surgery a few years ago. Maybe the rasp is a result of that surgery and there's nothing she can do about it. What's she supposed to do? Hold up signs? Use sign language?
