Sorry about that double post, HowieReynolds beat me to it. Was excited about giant butts and not thinking straight.
Ain’t nothing wrong with RR’s figure – she’s a fine looking lass, with a damn sweet a$$.
Her personality can be a bit off-putting, but overall, RR is very attractive, successful, and confident and as she herself might say “How cool is that?”
Anyone who thinks her breasts are bad and her butt is big, need to stop looking at all the sculpted, overworked, bony, BS women that the media pushes at you every day and realize that RR is what a REAL woman tends to look like. Even more, she is what an ATTRACTIVE REAL woman tends to look like.
I hope she chooses to age gracefully and stays away from the damn Plastic Surgeons.

Fake boobs are the biggest turnoff for me (not counting tattoos/piercings). I don’t care if a gal is flat as a board, her boobies are still magnificent. Didn’t the french say anything more than a champagne flute is a waste? I concur. RR is hot as 400 suns. Heck, I do her daddy she’s so hot.
I’d do her in a heartbeat, and I have my wife’s permission, too. (Of course, she gets to do Adam Baldwin in exchange.) RR is a goddess, Earth Mother(Light) Division.

Well, at least the British goddess Nigella Lawson is coming to Food Network (with an actual cooking show). I’d like to see her teach Rachael and Giada a thing or two, and just maybe spill EVOO all over herself in the meantime!

I agree with this. I love Nigella Lawson.
I just think Rachel Ray is abrasive and her non-stop talking and voice drive me up the wall.

:dubious: One immense thing in her favor, for a lot of men, is that Rachael Ray looks and acts accessible. She doesn’t look like an automatic shoot-down if one were to hypothetically chat her up. Heck, even let-down from her is probably a fun few minutes spent … at worst, a brief bit of fun conversation. Contrary to Doper consensus, her on-screen personality is not a universal turnoff.

Not just to a lot of men, but to a lot of women too. Especially in Middle America. That’s Michael Ruhlman’s theory about Ray Ray[sup]1[/sup]'s appeal in his latest book, * The Reach of a Chef*. He also dissects Emeril in a million pieces 
Me? I can’t stand the woman, buit I can see understand why she’s a bankable Food Network star.
[sup]1[/sup] Rachael’s nickname over at TWoP. Oh, the snark going on about her…

My wife goes to work every day and tries to stop anorexic women from starving themselves to death. And they do it partly because they hear these kinds of comments about completely normal looking women being ‘fat’.

Thank you, Sam. And give your wife a hug for me.
And on the topic of Rachael Ray’s show - what the hell kind of hyperactive attention-deficit topic-jumping weirdfest is going on? Is it a cooking show? A talk show? A reality show? A game show? I’m so confused.
I caught it last week and decided to stay on the channel because I’d seen her name tossed around on the Dope and wanted to see what her cooking was like. So I sat through:
-
Video clips of some woman showing me how to hang-dry my jeans in a way that would keep the butt from going flat (??)
-
A bit where Rachael and a zookeeper were competing for the attention of polar bears by making a meal for them
-
Showing us pictures drawn by viewers’ kids, awww
-
A woman going around Rachael’s TV kitchen collecting things with Xs on them and stuffing them into a bowl
And then, somewhere after all that, in the last ten minutes of the show, she cooked something.
I gotta say, I don’t get it.
She has more than one show. You actually need to watch 30-Minute Meals if you want to see her cook anything good.
I actually enjoy the majority of 30-Minute Meals. It is a pretty solid show and the concept is refreshing. I could do without the damned “EVOO”. Her grating personality is only absent from her Tasty Travels. I think that is a result of the narrative approach to the show.
The more cooking shows I watch, the easier it is for me to tune out hosts. This stems from my early desire to watch Emeril Live for the recipes. He is significantly more tolerable on The Essence of Emeril. I love Paula Deen though.
When I read that they were giving Rachel Ray a talk show I decided to avoid it unless it made it into a second season. During the first season, most talk show hosts suck terribly because they do not know how to approach anything successfully. Once they learn to interview and figure out what direction they would like to take their show in, they usually improve…unless their name is Magic.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, Rachel Ray is not fat at all. There is nothing wrong with a girl having a visible ass.

Now there’s a voice that makes RR’s voice sound like the crooning of angels.

Meh, if you’d backdoor her just right.
