text: why do so many people hate rachael ray? i like her show 30-minute meals. she makes really good food. my boyfriend hates rachael but loves her recipes.( i'm the one who cooks) he finds her annoying but i think she's funny. your thoughts? i know some people who are annoyed by her as well. something about the way she moves about the kitchen like a busy bee, the pitch of her voice, how she talks rapidly, and how she always says, "yum!"   just like anybody at school or work, there's always someone who annoys someone else.  but people who actually cook and try her recipes don't find her annoying.
