I am one who does not like Rachel Ray or her recipes. I do like some of her cookware which I have purchased at Ross for a fourth of Q's prices.

I love Rachel!

Can't stand her. She used her show to peddle Obamacare last week. If she's for that, what other bad decisions does she make?

Oh that bad, bad person - wanting healthcare for everyone. Anyway, check out the high shipping charges on all her cookery stuff. Wow!

Uh-oh. This makes the third newbie I've seen in the past two days who's riled up about this.

Maybe the old PD fan club that swooped in months ago and these newly minted RR haters should get together. Maybe a room somewhere??? -- that's of course if they aren't the same people.

Back on topic, I have to agree with the general sentiment here. I have nothing at all against RR. But seriously, someone needs to speak with her about her presentations. They are getting worse and worse.

You know it's bad when even Rick D. can't get a word in edgewise.

And the silly thing is, she doesn't need to be such a carnival barker. People seem to like her products. But her manner makes her seem downright desperate. Not a good look for a salesperson.

Since there are two Rachel bashing threads going right now (one is actually on the FASHION FORUM-what's with that?), I'm posting the same thing on both. Then I'm posting the same thing on the one from someone who LOVES Rachel Ray:

I have to put in my two cents worth on this...first of all, why are people talking about Rachel Ray's cookware on a Fashion Forum??? Secondly, I have watched her since she first started on the Food Network with her 30-Minute Meal shows, and since she came to QVC with her products. I saw some of this yesterday, but I just went back and watched some of the videos, and I certainly don't see anything wrong with the way she behaved. It's okay for Susan Graver to be "passionate" about her clothing (since this IS a fashion forum), never take a breath, talk constantly over the hosts, interrupt them, the hosts can't even tell the colors without her talking so I can't hear them, etc. etc.?? That's okay for a lot of people - she's just proud of her product and PASSIONATE! Well, so is Rachel Ray. She does have a voice problem, which I would much rather hear than SG's, and which she can't help--so shame on those of you who put her down for that. She has worked extremely hard, and still does, to get where she is. I've watched her daily talk show, and she is delightful. I did not see any "rolling of the eyes" on David's part (I think he's too professional to do that even if he did feel like it, and I didn't get that vibe at all). Rachel does not talk constantly, and yes, in most of QVC's shows, hosts and vendors interrupt each other from time to time - that's normal. I have Temptations, and all 5 of the bakeware pieces I bought have crazed and cracked so I can't use them - one of them did that just sitting in my cabinet-I had never even used it! Way too late to send them back, but you can bet I would never buy another piece. I will, however, buy Rachel's, and she has every right to be proud of them, and proud of herself. There, I've said my piece!!

She doesn't talk constantly? You've got to be kidding! Are you watching the same RR that most of us have witnessed? Sorry maybe you just might be a relative of hers but she needs an attitude adjustment and she needs to go back to being the "old" RR, who was sweet and humble. As far as her voice is concerned, I agree that is something people should not be criticizing but there's no reason for her rudeness.

That was a very bad move imho....
