Top 11 Oprah Blunders of '07: No. 11

Posted Nov 9th 2007 11:55PM by Marcus Vanderberg

Rachael Ray Overkill


Oprah Winfrey's wunderkind, Rachael Ray, took the scene by storm in 2007.

You can't walk down the aisle at your local supermarket without seeing Ray's face plastered on the side of a box.

But with all the deals comes backlash.

Most people can't tolerate the perky chef, who was called a "bobblehead" by Travel Channel personality Anthony Bourdain.

2. The best thing that can happen to Rachael Ray is for someone to teach her how not to burn a steak. I would hope that she finds a mate that is faithful and enjoys the benefits of someone so perky who cooks quickly. If Rachael isn't careful, she could eat her way off television. EVVO can only take you so far.

3. RR is a big girl....I am quite sure Oprah told her before taking her up the ladder to be prepared for all this backlash....that is how you know you are successful...

4.
Everyone is sick of life getting harder, watching someone enjoying life makes it harder. TV use to show people that have to deal with simular lifes problems, TV shows like The Honeymooners, Father Knows best. Producers have lost touch with the American people!!!!

5. Enjoy both of them Rachel is so positive and enjoy watching her - Oprah oh wow can we compare her - has her issues but don't see anyone who can do what she does. They are not in the same field but both are what female success is about.

6. GOSH, I AM DISGUSTED TO READ SO MANY RUDE COMMENTS.....

NANCY at 8:17PM on Nov 10th 2007

7. Awaaa,related to Oprah ,and don't have a million in the bank.? Too,Too bad,poor thing...

Ken at 8:18PM on Nov 10th 2007

8. At an income of $600 social security, do I give a shit about this???
Oprah is a rich bitch who reslly cares about anyone who can't add to her fame.

NRunningWolf at 8:20PM on Nov 10th 2007

9. Rachel Ray is AWESOME ! SHE HAS A BUBBLY CONTAGIOUS PERSONALITY THAT WE NEED ON TV TODAY.... ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT OVEREXPOSURE MAKES PEOPLE TIRED OF THE PERSON......LIKE SANDRA BULLOCK AT ONE TIME SHE WAS ON EVERY MOVIE AT THE CINEMA, YUCK! BUT RACHEL IS A FUNNY SWEET OLD FASHION NO NONSENSE KINDA GIRL THAT EVERYONE LOVES AND HAS THE LIKEABLE FACTOR. JAY

Jay at 8:21PM on Nov 10th 2007

10. Rachel IS A PERKY HAPPY PERSON FULL OF LIFE AND VERY ENTERGETIC.I LIKE HER.

Mary Hedman at 8:23PM on Nov 10th 2007

11. Oprah is so devote4d to self aggrandizement she can't see the forest for the trees of deception she accepts just for ratings. "Giving away new cars to her audience" which were actually paid for by a sponsor forced to donate. The book fraud she perpetrated and the little girls school in Adrica when there are so many young African American girls of all ages here in our country who need her more than a set up school. elsewhere. She is so self centered that she comes off as a first class jerk. Her big taped program with the 100 Osmund family meembers to :"grieve" for the 90-year old family head. When everyone knows the story of how he and Andy williams feuuded for years when he demanded control of a show that was Williams and not his.

12. Wow , so these super speedy people can't get the snipers of thier tails for one minute.. Those who can top their perfomances should stand in their places for a day just to see the work they have and did put in, just to get to where they are now. I say good luck to both and snub my nose at the failures who judge others. YOU GO GIRLS

MS. ZIMMERMANN at 8:27PM on Nov 10th 2007

13. We all know how rich Oprah is, so what. She was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she has worked hard to get where she is at so give her a break.

louise at 8:29PM on Nov 10th 2007

14. It is absolutely incredible that someone with a total lack of cooking skills and knowledge can have her TV show. It is really sad that people take her seriously and consider her a teacher. What she has to offer? Kitchen mediocrity to the extreme……. .

15. WHAT A JOKE...SHE CANT COOK, DOESNT HAVE A PERONALITY AND NEEDS TO LOSE ABOUT 60 POUNDS. EVEN THOSE PICS OF HER IN THE MAG WERE FAKE...RACHELS FAT HEAD ON A SKINNY GIRLS BODY.
AND IN COLLEGE SHE SPENDS HER PARENTS TUITION MONEY THEN GOT THROWN OUT OF SCHOOL... AFTER "BORROWING" MORE TUITION MONEY FROM FRIENDS WHOM SHE NEVER PAID BACK.

FAT UNTALENTED AND A THIEF IS NO WAY TO GO THRU LIFE RACHEL ...DO US A FAVOR GET OFF TV...AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR PAY YOUR DEBTS AND LOSE SOME WEIGHT.

OH YEAH STOP SNORTING WHEN U LAUGH IT SHOWS WHAT A CRUDE LIL PIGGY U ARE
