Re: Rachel keeps using 'jonesing' to describe loving different products.

Like I said, I wasn't familiar with it, but when I looked up a def. for it I read that it comes from the street name for heroin , so it is linked to the drug culture, and is associated with an addiction or craving for something.

Someone of her age should behave professionally in my opinion.

So probably not the best word to be throwing around while on air IMO.

I don't think I would ever use the word 'professional' to describe Rachel.

----   
I'm an occasional viewer, but, I can't say, I've ever seen her behaving unprofessionally.  

Unless a host were to come out, using real profanity, I'm not going to fret, about their word choice, here and there. 

And what, in the world, does her age have to do with it?  

At what age, is it ok to behave unprofessionally?

 

Reading  what I wrote, I remember having a boss who detested the use of ok 🙃 He thought, it was among the worst of slang!

Re: Rachel keeps using 'jonesing' to describe loving different products.

When my grandkids were little I always referred to them as the little people. By no means was I trying to be mean or showing disrespect to anyone.
I never talked baby talk or in a silly voice to them.

It must be really hard to act like every food you are selling is sooo good, Rachel does sometimes go over the top but I try to focus on item instead of host. I would rather see her presenting fashion instead of food. You have heard the saying jack of all trades and master of none. The Q should have host present what they excel in...love David in kitchen shows, he would not be good selling ladies shoes . Hosts are not good presenting every product and it shows.

Hahaha! 

50?   I WISH I could be young again and BE 50!

The food items she was presenting with Alberti during a Gourmet food show the other day.
