She speaks to adults like a normal person does to kindergarteners. It’s both odd and infuriating.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH Every time those Dunkin’ Donut commercials come on I want to throw something at the TV. She’s SO ANNOYING. GAH.
I’ll THIRD that notion. An don’t even get me started on EVOO!
I suspect you’ll find a lot of Dopers agreeing with you. I can’t stand her.
She doesn’t bother me.
Get off my crackers, Rachel Ray!
I’d do her. Repeatedly. With EVOO.
I was listening to her recorded shilling in a grocery store tonight, and thought the exact same thing. She needs to go away.
Crackers, hell. I was in Albertson’s tonight and they had that bitch interrupting the Muzak to tell me that some crap or another is so “delish”.
I swear to Christ, I’d wring her neck if I could. WHNwringherneck.

Yeah, I remember her from high school.
I think we all remember her from high school.
Her and that southern woman… Paula Dean or something. They both make my teeth ache.
I hate the “need to talk down to people about how to make simple food” tone. Not a fan of the “smoker’s voice or naturally husky?” sound, though that’s not so much her fault. Hate the stupid little words and phrases like “sammy” (sandwich), “yummo”, “stoup” (not quite stew, not quite soup), and “EVOO - that’s extra virgin olive oil!” Hate her not tipping worth a damn on the “$40 a Day” shows and sounding like she’s re-enacting Meg Ryan’s infamous scene from “When Harry Met Sally” at every bite.
Paula Deen fries butter! (She also stuck her tongue in a chocolate fountain during one of her party shows, I believe. Eww, chocolate-enrobed saliva.)
I seriously doubt Rachael Ray has ever set foot in a Dunkin’ Donuts. And why does she always say “EVOO, extra virgin olive oil?” Why abbrieviate if you’re just going to tell us what it is every time?
I’ll say what I said before - I could never be married to her, but I’d endure her for the requisite thirty minutes.
With EVOO.
Her mind is scarier than her voice.
Trouble is, she’s way overexposed - and not in the way many of us would prefer 
I am not a big fan of her, but I find her laughter very contagious. She has looked cute on a couple of seasons.
I just call her ‘squeeky’.
That Green Bean post above was me. I’m at my mothers and GB (my sister) had been logged in.
(Just in case you might be confused as to who called her ‘squeeky’.)
She talks?
