The way she talks...

I am kind of a fan, but I have been watching her show a bit more lately and I just have to vent for a sec. Does the way she talks drive anyone else crazy? It's so annoying the was she over-empahizes the beginnings of words. For example "look" sounds like "Luh-ook". And she talks out loud every single little thing she does like "I am just going to pick up my spoon and have a taste".

I am I alone here?

Dr. Meredith Grey:"We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?"

no it annoys me soooo much! especially when she says "this going to be DEEEEE-liscious!....I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate it...lol

[–] cubanato00 17 years ago

she seems completely...fake.

[–] Fading_Light 17 years ago

cuz she is!

[–] cubanato00 17 years ago

Seriously, she seems like one of those people that you never really "know." Like they're always putting on a happy front, but behind closed doors she probably is addicted to Xanax and cocktails.

I also cannot stand how she talks. The way she says her Ls at the beginning of a word is the worst.

YES! Im so glad to hear someone say the same thing ive been thinking for so long. Why does she talk like that anyway? Do you think she knows she does it and control it?

hahahaha..I couldnt have said it better.

"Let me just take ooooonnneee more drink before I continueeeee thisss recipe-it is sooooo eassyyyy!!!"

Don't forget "Pop it in the oven" and "Pop it in mixer" and "Pop it in the microwave" and "Pop it onto your pan." I've been thinking about counting how many times she says the word "pop" in every episode, but I don't think I could handle sitting through it.

I'd pop all over her...

The word that always does it for me is strawburry.

That and the "poppin'" drives me crazy.

Right you are, Ken.

Yes, the way she talks and her voice annoys the crap out of me. I can't watch more than 5 seconds of her show.

[–] Capricorn12 16 years ago

She does that with her 'R's too. I feel like throwing something at her. And she seems like a closet alcoholic.

I'm sorry I think she is great!

[–] jczgal 16 years ago

ugh she is absolutely certifiably insane. "This packet of chemicals will add suuccchhh greeaatt fllaaavoorr." Must be all that booze and disgusting food she chokes down then upchucks. stupid.

I have been watching her show for a couple years now basically because it used to come on right after my fav barefoot contessa....and before RR. It was just on the tv while I was actually making some dinner! I have been making fun of her a long time and noticed so does just about every WOMAN you know. I think the men (my hubby included) cannot join in the laughing sessions because of the way she looks. the jiggling of those droopy melons...the tiny behind...the cutesy party girl drinking....the list goes on. men just wont admit to hating her!
I recently talked with a good friend and fellow cook and she told me I needed to see that special biography on her food network did. I think I am going to feel alot of shame after I see that or read her book. I am trying to see if I can find a copy of that book. I will post back after I form my second opinion of her.
In the meantime, semi-homemade is just that...70% store bought. she really doesnt claim to be some martha stewart.

her book was a joke! it! had! way! too! many! exclamation! points! and it went from one story to the next. she flipped flopped too much. if you are anything like me, you won't feel bad after reading it. i don't need to hear another "my mother left and I had to raise my family" sob story. C'mon people! That is reality for a good percentage of Americans. She obviously did very well for herself (whether we like her or not) and that, to me, is what really matters.
p.s. her voice, her comments and remarks drive me insane. crazy lady alter!

kinda funny you people arent so perfect urself and usually people who make fun of other ppl are less fortunate than the people their making fun of. please get a life, its a cooking show, not grammar class. if she annoys you, don't watch. get out of ur lazy ass chair u sit in all day and change the channel..

get out of ur lazy ass chair u sit in all day and change the channel..

Damn you ain't seen a lazy chair until you've seen mine! Lazy as hell. All it wants to do is sit there in front of the TV and support my weight -- all day. Doesn't even do the dishes.

[–] InsideTheCastleWall 16 years ago

She speaks Galactic Basic.

Onto my serving plate I'm gonna put this salad.

Into your pitcher goes the ice.

Into the pan butter goes?

Wonderful taste this dish has?
