Had to say Giada... She seems very full of herself and most everything she makes looks unappetizing to me...
 
Where is the Alton Brown choice? I can't stand that guy!
 
I voted for Sandra Lee, but it was a tough choice between her and Bobby Flay...

I don't like any of Sandra Lee's recipes...I don't need a cooking show to teach me how to open a can of Pillsbury biscuits and put 'em in the oven. I usually just follow the directions on the can.

The best (most disgusting) show of hers had to be the one with the three holiday cakes. They were all made with store bought Angel Food cakes, frosted with Betty Crocker frosting (which she added food coloring to) and stuffed with canned pie filling. :eek:

I don't know why I felt compelled to watch this episode in its entirety; I guess it was a combination of disbelief and the certainty that the recipes just had to get better (but they got worse!).

As for Bobby Flay, I just think he's obnoxious.
 

I said Mario because I can't stand to watch one minute of his show. I don't know what it is about him that bothers me so much.

Giada also really annoys me when she has to say every Italian word with an Italian accent.

My favorites are Paula Deen and Alton Brown.
 
Another one for Paula Deen, I can not stand her. LIke someone else said, her voice and her cackle are like "fingernails on chalkboard." Her recipes are also waaaay too rich for me.
 
Sandra Lee. She is a baaad cook, in fact she isn't a cook at all, she just throws things together in the kitchen. And those "tablescapes"! She gets stuff at the dollar store and comes home and 'creates' a table setting using a glue gun, scissors and the dollar stuff. Ugh, how corny! And notice how her outfit always matches the table! My daughter and I get our daily chuckle to see what she comes up with next. :p

Emeril. Truely dislike him and his shows.

Our whole family dislikes him.

Too much bam and hype.

I can sprinkle chocolate sauce on ice cream too. :rolleyes: without the bam.
 
i voted for bobby flay, but i also dislike rachel and giada.

i love alton brown.
 
Giada's head is WAAAYYY too big for her neck and body- DH cracks up when he sees her. She has good recipes but a humungous mouth when she smiles too!

I voted for Rachael because it drives me nuts that she can only make 1 trip to the fridge or pantry and had to carry EVERYTHING in one trip. Geez- her kitchen isn't that big! I'm not impressed that you can carry a bowl, 18 lemons, a gallon of olive oil, a whole chicken, 3 dozen eggs, 4 cups of that organic chicken stock she uses and 15 onions- just get what you can carry comfortably!
 
I hope you aren't hoping for a scientifically accurate poll, Papa Deuce, because I just messed it up :duck:. But you'll probably find this interesting yourself, and I don't think it will mess up what you were looking for.

I just realized if you vote for that blank option at the bottom, you can vote numerous times. Weird, but interesting. I've never seen that before.
 
I voted other because I don't like Alton Brown's show. I have tried watching it a few times, but just can't get into it.
 
I don't see Alton Brown on the list at all. Not that I'd vote for him. How can anybody dislike Alton Brown? I've been watching the rerun of the Iron Chef America contest and he just referred to the judging panel as "the highest food court in the land" :rotfl:
 
I voted other for those two goofballs who won the contest last year. Dan & Steve the hearty boys? I have zero desire to watch their show. I like most of the personalities mentioned above though. Bobby Flay is probably my 2nd least favorite, he seems like a bit of an ***.
 
While I don't think I'd ever want to be seated next to Bobby Flay at a dinner party, it's a toss-up between Sandra Lee and Rachel Ray, with the defininte edge going to Rachel Ray. I can at least watch Sandra Lee's show and laugh at the horror. Rachel Ray is just too annoying to enjoy at any level. I wish someone would tell her that she's not nearly as cute as she seems to think she is!

And of course Alton Brown wouldn't be on the list! Who could possibly dislike Alton??? Some people might not be geeky enough to get into his show, but he's incredibly competent and genial--who could be turned off by that?
 
I'm a plain and simple eater and really don't get into all the fuss most of these people go to. The kicker for me was when Rachael was grilling four nice Filet Mignons and then cut them up to put into a salad. From that point on I called her "Rachael the Destroyer!"
 
Sandra Lee. OMG she's about the tackiest thing ever. I tuned in one day and she was 'cooking' in her bathing suit. Add to that the fact that she doesn't actually cook and I just can't stand her show.

I voted 'other' because I really don't care for Alton Brown. Is that his name? The guy that does the sciency shows with food? I think he's a little annoying.

Yup...I find this show annoying also.

I actually like Bobby Flay. I'm surprised to see that so many of you don't like him. I think he's a real, down to earth, kind of guy. I'd love to have him cook for me.
