hey it's rachael ray!

one of the past times that you can do in south korea is watch tv. they loooove their tv here, that's for sure! we have a television in our apartment and it allows us to watch any of the 77 channels that are provided through the cable connection (this is the first time i have ever had this many channels). however, as with any television, there is rarely anything of quality on, and we are limited even further as we can't understand korean completely yet, so we have to watch the 6 english channels.
needless to say in the past few months i have watched some fairly average programs -mainly of american descent. i caught myself the other day watching csi miami and actually concerned with the plot! i think i was really just waiting for that red headed guy to put his glasses on and say some tough guy comment that is also exceptionally witty and intelligent. sorry i regress.
i saw what would have to be the worst show ever the other day. it is a cooking (if you can class tuna mornay as cooking) program hosted by a woman by the name of rachael ray. and 'oh my god! (god said with a pitch inclination)' she loves the sound of her own voice!! it is basically a lifestyle type of program where they get a guest in to cook some dish and talk hollywood dribble.
the program that i saw had joan cusack on as the guest. now i really respect her as an actor and as a person, but even she seemed stupid in the program. she may have been playing it up for the camera a bit, to sort of fit in with the set, but it still wasn't flattering to watch. what most struck me however was rachael ray's constant pattern of ask question and then answer it for the guest. there were so many instances of uncomforable moments where the guest didn't know when to try and talk. it was really unsettling.
i did a little research into this show and it turns out that it is owned by harpo productions, which is oprah winfrey's 'little' thing. so that explained a whole lot as to why she is why she is. i then spoke to my wife about this show and she told me that she has seen a program of the two of them together. no one found out anything about the other as they were both talking at the same time, and answering for each other. all the while looking to the white, middle class audience for approval.
this is definately a program to run from, and one that i definately don't recommend. for a giggle check out her website. i really want her 'too cool for school mix tape'.

i should probably reply to that with 'who cares?' but seen as you took the time to write a comment, and i took the time to write a post she is:
>annoying
>a tv personality
>one of oprah winfrey's love children
>
>annoying
>someone that has a huge jaw line
>a chef (apparently)
>annoying
>not funny
>someone that talks over other people
i think that's about her in a nutshell. no wait, she's annoying. yep, that's it.

She was a pain on Oprah. And seemed incredibly stupid....I can't believe she has her own show???
Crazy stuff!
