A disturbing collection of Rachael Ray's Mmmmmms

Rachael Ray enjoys her food a little too muchBefore Rachael Ray was all over the planet and the known universe, I used to watch her on the Food Network's $40 a Day. On that show, Ray Ray would visit a different city and see if she could eat three great meals with only forty bucks in hand.

As you'd expect, she succeeded (let's just say she wasn't the most generous tipper), but that wasn't the most interesting part of the program. What was most interesting was the disturbingly orgasmic reactions RR had to the food she was eating at each restaurant. The reaction was exactly the same, no matter what she was eating: eyes closed, she'd moan "Mmmmmmm" for the exact same length of time, open and roll her eyes back into her head, then smile. Cute the first time, it felt pretty creepy after the first dozen or so episodes.

Which is why I couldn't get through this collection of "Mmmmms" from 30 episodes of $40 a Day, edited together by Naomi Leibowitz for her blog. Hearing RR moan her way through the country's great meals was just too much for me to take. Her Stepford-esque efficiency in making those moans told me that one of two things were going on at the time: either she faked her reactions, or she needed to get laid really, really badly. Maybe she should have taken her now-husband with her on the shoots...

Rachel Ray is awesome and I love all her shows. 30 minute meals, $40 a day, and her own Rachel Ray show is just fabulous. Guess she wouldn't be so famous if she didn't have people talking trash about her. Here's a thought for all the people complaining about her Mmmmmms and her 70s comments......it's called a remote...change the channel! Duh!

Rachael is a breath of fresh air. She is down to earth and wholesome. How I see these negative comments is that if you need to sit back and make fun of other people then you have security and self confidence issues of your own that apparently you need to work on. Maybe someday the ones that are making these nasty and mean comments will see their own issues and try to help themselves.

We used to have the food network on most of the day until it became the Rachael Ray Network, show after show, rerun after rerun, of her irritating voice, now we rarely watch that channel, also what I would like to know is when you watch the same shows over and over again, month after month, can you resubmit last months check to the cable company for last months shows????????????

Good Lord, there is no end to peoples stupidity. If I could make the money that cute little gal makes by moaning, and saying delish, they would hear me moaning all the way to the bank. You have come a long way RR to get where you got to today.

That's it. Make something dirty out of, well, just about anything these days. Sadly that seems to be a trend. It couldn't be that she is just a person who loves food and is enjoying her life. Heaven Forbid! Don't watch, turn the dial, hold your ears, but enough already!!

I am a Rachael fan, my boyfriend is as well, and so are most of my friends. She has never claimed to be a gourmet; but she is someone who LOVES what she does, and it shows. Give the woman a break you nay-sayers. She's getting people into the kitchen who were afread before and can actually prepare something wonderful and feel proud about it. Go Rach!!

I used to like RR, however her enthusiasm is over the top now. She's just too annoying to watch anymore.

Maybe you are watching the wrong program! If you
associate her "sounds" with orgasms you should get your head out of
the oven and change the channel. Some people live to criticize
others, meanwhile they have not contributed anything to society. Get a
life, move on! Rachel Ray:Ignore these lifeless fools.
