I'm shaking my head in amazement. A poster comes onto a public forum and states her opinion and then tells everyone else that only those who agree can reply. We all have opinions, and all can reply.

You're not the only one shaking your head in amazement. What is truly amazing that a reply made in sarcasm and negative tone can be misconstrued for an 'opinion'...go back and read it. And now misconstrued that 'only those who agree can reply'. You have that all wrong. As adults, let's keep this respectful and in the spirit that the post was intended.

LOL, you two new here?

Re: Way too much pressure from Rachel Ray!

Rachael doesn't let the hosts do their jobs. She wants to be the only one selling. I know what the OP means about high pressure. There's no need to bash the OP, she is just stating her opinion and isn't saying anything negative about Rachael herself.

Rachael isn't used to being second banana to anyone and I think she needs to learn how to work in conjunction with a host. Her shows can be uncomfortable to watch.

Re: Way too much pressure from Rachel Ray!

The last couple of times I watched Rachel Ray, she seemed to be talking on top of Jane Tracey, Jill, and even Rick?!! That surprised me. She did better with Mary Beth because Mary Beth waited, but even she had trouble sharing information about the Cucina Rustica pieces. It seemed very aggressive to me too. I stopped watching the video of Rachel Ray and Jane Tracey because it was irritating how much Jane was interrupted. So I agree with the observations of the rest here. She needs to take turns with the hosts. I know she is very enthusiastic about her products but they have to share information about things. They only really were able to do their job when Rachel got something out of the oven. LOL

I agree. If I come across her on QVC, I have to turn it off. Too rude.

I don't think every vendor needs a host.

Re: Way too much pressure from Rachel Ray!

I like Rachel and her wares, but I have noticed she's become rude compared to how she always was. She's really gotten bad at interrupting the show host and just basically running over them.

Re: Way too much pressure from Rachel Ray!

I find nothing "innovative" about her products. I've always found her to be bossy, pushy, and aggressive. She turns me off; and I turn her off-literally.

Re: Way too much pressure from Rachel Ray!

All of her products are made in China. No sale for me. Too bad, I would purchase otherwise.

I think you hit the nail on the head ! She also appears somewhat frantic with her hands being thrown all over the place and the non-stop chatter. I always wonder why image consultants to tell her to tie her hands behind her back and calm the "f" down.
