Rachael Ray Sucks?
Curious, I decided to take a look at the anti-fan site. It is essentially a blog site devoted to pointing out everything wrong with Rachael Ray - her shows, her wardrobe, her looks, and her personality. One of the rules for posting is that you must be "anti-Rachael".
I have to agree with what Rachael Ray said on HTS; everyone is entitled to their opinions and the expression of such. As a matter of fact, I happen to also agree with some of the comments on the Rachael Ray Sucks blog. I watch Food Network programming regularly and occasionally find myself watching an episode of 30 Minute Meals or $40 a Day. Some of Rachael's behaviors and mannerisms annoy me quite a bit. When that happens and I can't take it anymore, I exercise my remote finger and find something else to watch.
But that's really as far as it ever goes. My feelings about Rachael Ray, one way or the other, have not compelled me to create an entire internet community in which to discuss every aspect of her life.
I suppose the biggest mystery about Rachael Ray Sucks is why so many people, who claim to hate Rachael Ray so much, would still continue to watch every episode and read every news article about her. The more I read the entries, the more I felt as if some of the posters were truly obsessed with Rachael. It appeared as if some hung on her every word, and then turned around and complained about it on the blog. Turn the channel, anyone?
Other entries smacked of jealousy and envy, particularly those that focused on the fact that Rachael Ray is not a true chef because she never completed culinary school but still became extremely successful in the culinary industry. Judging from the documentaries I've seen about Rachael Ray, it isn't as if she just fell into success. She has had to go through quite a bit and has worked very hard to get where she is today. Stop hating, already.
At the end of the day, we do all have freedom of speech and the right to express our opinions. It may be worthwhile, however, to explore whether that expression is healthy or if it's just time to turn the channel and get over it. Rachael Ray probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If she annoys you, don't watch her. It's just that simple!

Post a CommentI also saw the clip with that lady pointing out RR's faults, i suggest she pay more attention to her own faults, maybe explain wtf she was thinking with that outfit
Meh...I'm Cuban.
We talk with our hands just like Rachael does. And we're loud and passionate about life in general. Rachael is simply passionate and being herself while she makes something out of herself.
People who hate on her for doing what she does and thriving in a world that we live in are simple haters. Get off your lazy asses and make something of yourselves.
I know everyone has their own option, and not everyone will agree with what is said. For the ones who think Rachel Ray sucks, no one said you have to watch her show. If you do not like her show do not watch it. I like her show and will continue to watch her. I hope the show does not go off the air.
I heard her daytime tv show is in trouble now. Going off the air the end of 2010.
rr rulez baby. and did you see dat chik dat ran dat rrsux website. dammmmn dat ho putz da UG in UGLY. YOU GO RATCHAEL WIT YO FINE AZZ.
I watch her everyday and love her. The ones who don't like her because she made something of herself must be a Martha Stewart fan. You talk about someone who can't cook, Rach can do it all.
RR keep up what your doing! Im SOO HAPPY that website was taken down it wasuncalled for and the founder needs to get a life and a good diet maybe she should follow a few of RR dinners and lose some weight and maybe she wouldnt be such a mean person. I dont think this lady has much of a life. i mean who has enough time to make a website and sit there for hrs pashing on her. please hun get a job and a life while your at it. and for those who dont care for her thats ok but do us all a favor and SHUT UP!! we dont want to hear it. think every time you point a finger 3 more are pointed back at YOU!!! I have an answer for you if you dont like RR....change the FRIGIN channel stuip !!
You know what's wrong with the world? Websites like rrsux.com. I understand these people don't like Rachel, but how much time do they have on their hands - especially the creator of the site - to publicly bash another human being. Yes, she is a human being. I was shocked when I saw the endning of the THS show on Rachel and they showed this website. SHOCKED! What has this world come to that we feel the need to post horrible comments about other people? You should all be ashamed of yourselves - yes, you too "Proud Suxter". What are you teaching your children? That when they don't like someone they should publicly ridicule them and make fun of them? It's embarassing and truly truly tasteless.
i think she's great and everyone has haterz!!
The creator of the journal RRSUX is just a bitter/jealous/fat leech. Rachel can be abit over the top sometimes, so what! I've seen Rachel's show only once but the fact that this person dedicates a whole website to takl bad about her irritates me. Like it or not she will continue making $$$ and the Pork belly will continue to be a medium size whale typing about her and eating chips all day long. Probably she could star eating her food Instead of the dozen donuts she gets for breakfast.
