Rachel Ray's appeal is that she isn't actually a chef tossing around French or Italian cooking terms, but cooks things that regular people can see and think "I could make that. And hey, I would actually like to eat that!" I've enjoyed watching the 30-minute meals show, although I don't think most of us would get the same things done as quickly (for one thing, we don't have our kitchen laid out the same way).

But her travel shows and such? Her voice-overs are like nails on a chalkboard to me. And, a few weeks ago I went to the grocery store and it was like a Rachel Ray bomb went off in there. There were displays everywhere with her perky face. She has a magazine out, and you guys are saying, a talk show? When will her market finally saturate?!
