Ok - so her voice is annoying (to *some* people) and she talks fast; according to some her personality is annoying - she acts like 3 year old in a 30 year old's body. I dunno. I personally think that her upbeat personality, whether it's a *put on* or not, is very fun to watch. I would hope she's not that hyper all the time, though. But it is an instant mood booster to watch her (on any one of her shows).
She used to work as a 'malt shop' or something like that (of the sorts) making ice creams, malts, etc. And apparently selling chocolates at Macy's? Never heard that - I just read it. She was taught by her mom how to cook, and her grandpa Emmanuel as well... Which, to me, is a life time worth of training more than 2 or 4 years in a college.
I personally learned a lot of tips from watching her "30 Minute Meals" - how to cut stuff, substitute tips, thickening agent tips, etc. (Also I learned a lot from Emeril, but that's another review)
Either way - *to me* she's great to watch, wonderful to learn from, and not too bad on the eyes (even as a woman, I can agree - she's nice to look at LOL).
Some people just can't get past her voice or her "over the top" personality (which I resemble when I'm around some of my hyper family members or friends at work). I think it's all in preference. But to say she's a waste of time or a fake is (to me) a bit of a quick judgement. Who's to say she's also a bit reserved sometimes? If she *is* putting on a front, probably for good reason. Not everyone can act that bubbly *all* the time. I know I can't. Also - why can't the woman be quiet for once and just stand and do what she does for a moment without having to entertain someone or talk to them? Since it's her "RR Show" is taped within a short time, who's to say she's not allowed to have preparers there? I don't know how the other cooking shows are done, but none of the others are also day time talk shows, so uh - maybe that's a given that she'd have 'help'. Oh well. Whatever lol.
:) I love the woman! :)

she always gets your attention to her.she is so talented in what she dose she has the most amazing recipes. she really showed the world that when you really love something you can always have fun with it.the way she talks about cooking you can see in her eyes how much she loves what she dose. there is nothing the same there everything is new even is she uses something she did before she changes it with something new.i wish i could do that. this show is great experience and just fun to watch and learn something new and that taste good.

Rachael Ray is my favorite food network host. She has several shows: 30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day, and a few more that I can't remember the names of right now. The shows are pretty good. I just like Racheal Ray because she's interesting. She makes cooking fun and she has all of the funny words: "EVOO" and "Yummo" are ones that I like the most. I've also seen her talk show and she does pretty good with that too. She's just a good talker. She has pretty good shows, but what makes the show is her. She is my favorite host and I want to see her in more shows.

She started off selling chocolate at Macy's and now she's got her own show?! She gives cooking advice to what is really just common sense. She acts immature for her age. She acts like a 3 year old trapped in a 30 year old body. She also reminds me of a squirrel, and I hate squirrels. And why the heck does she use words from the 60's? No one says "groovy" anymore! People who can really cook are going through unnoticed because of her. There are many other people out there in the world that are much better cooks than her. My mom is constantly asked for her recipies because she cooks so well. Me and my mom have learned much better cooking tips from real chefs like Paula Deen and Bobby Flay.
