Rachel Ray is getting so much press for so ....

[decocritter]

little talent.

I wonder who she is .....

never mind.

[OWC Jamie]

What talent do you need in that venue beyond garnering viewers and selling advertising ?
Any more talent than, say, Martha Stewart ?

[decocritter]

At least Martha can do some things that make sense.

Rachel Rays' food sucks.

[RAMd®d]

Martha does have talent.

RR seems to rely on being perky. I find her annoying.

[decocritter]

Well - If you try to do some of Martha's recipes and projects, they usually turn out pretty well.

She has pretty good taste and researches her ideas.

I do like the old more perfect show better than the new live Martha.

[OWC Jamie]

It doesn't matter if you think her food sucks.
Any more than it doesn't matter if I don't believe Martha could decorate if her life depended on it.
Their airtime and books and marketing sell.

[OWC Jamie]

Martha purchases her talent in the same fashion Jay Leno and David Letterman purchase their jokes and gags.
It's TV fer chrisakes.

[iaJim]

Rachel's syndicated show doesn't do much for me. Is she better on the Food network?

[Mike Johnson]

To start a thread like this just makes no sense. If you don't like her, don't watch her show.

[decocritter]

Well....there are many new shows, but not one of them is getting pimped on other TV shows like RR. I guess the power of Oprah is behind most of it.
