Question re Food Network

[cville]

Is Guy Fieri the worst?

Or the super worst?

Please advise.

[georgeglass]

He's Extra McWorst with a side of worst.

[kayl84]

Super worst. He irks me as much as Rachel Ray and Giada whatever her name is.

[winecat]

Rachael Ray is the super worst, worst, worst. Guy Fieri did feed the CA wild lands firefighters so he stepped down from being the super worst, imo. He does represent the beginning of the end of the Food Network so he gets a side eye often and a lot.

[cabbagecabbage]

He’s like the worst but magical. He creates 26 hours of tv content per day and somehow just prints money. I’m almost in awe.

[Jalapeñomel]

The worst of the super worst.

[kayl84]

Okay if you had to be stuck with Rachel or Guy, which one would you pick and why? Since many of us hate Rachel Ray.

So I hated Rachael Ray with the fire of 10000 suns. When that 30 minute meals came on I would roll my eyes and flip. She is so annoying, right?

Buuuuttt....now that I am home with a little baby again. Oh God. Help me. I am enjoying her show. She is still annoying as ever. And they gave her a one hour format. And I like it. Feel free to commit me.

Okay. So he's just regular the worst because I give off camera good deeds strong weight. His on camera visual and stylistic felonies, however, dictate a minimum sentence of "the worst."

Rachel x1000. She's never frosted her tips. Plus she likes her dogs a lot so I could steer the conversation that way and avoid any "yum-o's"

There are no non-Douchey celebrity chefs are there?

[cville]

I mean, I think I'd even rather be trapped in an elevator with the Pioneer Woman than Guy Fieri. I bet she keeps mini bottles of wine in her purse. And I really really can't stand Guy.

[jezebel]

He’s a huge supporter of Special Olympics?

[rachers]

I don’t mind him at all and I always feel like a weirdo! I think he seems okay. DD&D is my favorite show to watch when I want to nap, lol.

He doesn't bother me that much. I do like that he shines a light on really good, small restaurants of all kinds. I think that is pretty cool. Though watching that show while hungry is dangerous.

[miso]

He doesn’t bother me.

And most things he eats look tasty.

I’d pick him over Rachael or Giada to be my dining companion any day. He seems fairly genuine even if he is outlandish.

He wears his wraparound 1997 blue mirrored Oakleys BACKWARDS ON HIS HEAD. On purpose! In food trucks!

Gah!

I'd moved her down the list because of the love she's got for her dogs and her advocacy for rescues.  UNTIL this week.  She had some dipshit financial hack on that basically spent her whole segment saying how great 45/GOP's tax cut is for EVERYBODY!  Rachael nodded right-the-fuck along.  The 53% of white women who voted for the Tang Asshole in Chief are her target audience and that just gave them more ammo for their dumbass opinions.  My rage for her can barely be contained.  Can you tell?   

[miso]

But there’s little to no pretense with Guy.

He’s just ridiculous.

I can deal with that.

[cville]

miso he is a chef who just pretended not to know what chana masala was on the show I was just watching.

While wearing what I'm pretty sure was a choker I owned in 7th grade.

I have had about 4 hours of sleep in 2 days and even I know that stretch chokers aren't cool.

cville- Back in the day I worked on a couple of Food Network shows. The directors will stop the talent and make them ask dumbass questions. I was embarrassed for them having to act dumb. Maybe he was really dumb in this situation but there's a decent chance someone behind the camera called that shot.

Ugh. You people are going to talk me into liking him. I'm tired so I'm weaker and more susceptible to influence than usual.

He's just not the super worst.

Bridget and Julia from America's Test Kitchen are great!  

[onetruething]

I found one of my absolute favorite restaurants because it was featured on Diners, Driveins & Dives, so I really cannot hate him.

For real?  

[bma]

The thing I hate most about D,D&D is that he won’t stop touching the food. He just gets in there and puts his hands all in it. You’re there to feature the restaurant and their chef! Back off!

I recognize this is completely irrational.

[Vespasia]

According to a friend who was on DD&D he is a total dick. Just really rude and condescending to both the crew and restaurant staff.

They have to shut down the restaurants they feature for a few days for filming but he's only there doing his bits for a few hours.  He touches everything and eats everything with his fingers.  Stop it!  Drives me bonkers too.
