Does anyone else get dizzy watching her show with the new kitchen?

On which show? Her talk show or 30 min meals?

 

[Reflection]

No, the new set does not make me dizzy, but I like the show better taped than filmed.

30 min. meals. I agree that I like it better taped than filmed.

 

[HollyJoy]

Yes!!

It is too orange!

We hate her new kitchen and the show no longer seems "Rachael" She's different or something. I LOVE her talk show and she's still Rach on there. But on 30 min meals she just seems...different. Like the kitchen. I can't explain it very well, obviously!

DH and I prefer the earlier kitchen - we don't like this new one.

 

[becka]

I don't like the new look either. The production techniques they use don't make me dizzy but maybe a bit disoriented.

They had to change the kitchen, because the old kitchen looked horrible in HD.

I'm not a fan of RR, so I haven't watched her show. My guess is they changed it to orange because that is supposedly her "signature" color. Her cookware is orange and so are her knife sets. I liked her 30-minute meals show back when she first started, and I loved her retro-kitchen. Then, she got really popular and saturated the market.....I couldn't take "yummo" any longer.

I hate this new season. The kitchen, the theme song, and the new Rachael.

What happened there?

 

[suzimar57]

i can't watch or listen to her

she's too loud and "in your face"

and those annoying catch phrases: EVOO, yummo, calling the audience "kids" - enough already!

 

[powellrj]

even my kids who never watch the show commented the other day, "wow, what happened to THAT show, its really bad!" I have to say I agree with them. I noticed many of the shows changed from tape to film this season, not just Rachael. Paula and Sandra did too.

I don't care for the new show at all. I kept asking DH what the heck happened. It just looks odd. There is way too much orange for my taste.

It's kind of funny...she has gone through this total transformation. In the very beginning she was very stiff and not very conversational, then as the show progressed she got more comfortable and was having fun with it. Now, she's just not Rachael, she has gone to a calmer kind of thing on 30 min meals. I like the middle ground shows where she is all chipper and happy and fun. I think she has gotten too busy with everything she is doing. I like the talk show the best. That's the Rachael we like.

Maybe she doesn't enjoy working on 30 Minute Meals anymore. Maybe she likes her talk show the best, and is just going through the motions on Foodnetwork. Maybe she should just focus on her talk show--I mean does she really need 3 or 4 jobs? She's probably over worked.

 

[roque]

hate the new kitchen on 30 min meals... why do they feel the need to get it "new and improved" ?

I think I mentioned this on another thread: The old kitchen looked horrible in HD, and so they had to do up a new kitchen for her in order for her show to be recorded in HD. Food Network started its HD channel earlier this year, and Rachel Ray and Emeril Lagasse were notably missing from the HD channel at that time...
