Can’t stand Patricia Heaton’s show.
Rhonda says
I like Patricia Heaton as a person, but her show just doesn’t work for me. I don’t know if she’s uncomfortable or tries too hard, but I was only able to watch her two times and I was done.
My favorite shows now are Guy’s various shows (he is such a people person and totally relaxed in front of the cameras), the Pioneer Woman and Valerie. I knew Valerie would be a hit. She’s so perky, but unpretentious. I watch the Pioneer Woman more than anyone. She always makes me feel happier and I can relate to her way of cooking. I like dishes with simple ingredients that are easy to make. And she never tries to act cute in front of the camera. She’s just a nice, warm kind of person.
I can barely stand to watch the beautiful Giada anymore. She’s lovely, but her personality can be irritating. And The Barefoot Contessa is too high-end for me. Hard to relate to her lifestyle. You can really feel that she’s a wealthy woman. But I like the way she cooks.
Patrice Vossekuil says
My all-time favorite Food Network program is Farmhouse Rules with Nancy Fuller as my all-time favorite host. I agree with Rhonda that Giada and the Contessa are unwatchable for me and I, too, love to watch Valerie. I differ in my reaction to Ree Drummond; she has become a commercial superstar but her abilities as an accomplished host are tedious and lack the technical acumen of more seasoned culinarians. It’s all about shortcuts and prepared ingredients.

giada is the biggest fake, and yes, her attitude is typical snobbish…. from her fake boobs to her attitude towards jades friends. she had her time, get rid of her already.. bring on more down to earth people like molly yeh, she’s refreshing and inspires a whole new generation of cooks. get rid of the fakes already!
