How Much Do I Hate Giada De Laurentiis? ALOT!

So this weekend while I was sick I buckled down on the couch for a Food Network marathon. One thing that struck me overall - I REALLY HATE GIADA!!

Like no joke. She's incredibly annoying in a fake patronizing way. With her big fake smile on her oversized head. And the way she talks like she's just so helpful with all her "knowledge" and "experience" making desserts with store bought cake mix. It comes off like she's talking to somebody's retarded 6 year old.

So beyond all of that, she has an annoying tendancy to overpronounce EVERY word that could possibly be interpreted with an Italian spin. And I know what everyone's gonna say, "But, she IS Italian!" So what?? When was the last time you met someone who was actually Italian who pronounced Spaghetti like that?? That's right! NEVER!! It's annoying. She's like one of those "Shove it in your face Italians" like the uber-proud ones. Like making a decent pasta sauce means their culture has accomplished something.

And is it really necessary to expose that much cleavage while making tiramisu? Like really?

She irks me so much that I cannot stand being in the same room while she's on TV. Infact I've barred her from my TV. My home is a Giada-Free Zone. I have a hard time believing anyone actually enjoys listening to her. I say listening because my suspicions are that the only reason she still has a show on the Food Network is that her rating are based solely on pathetic husbands at home watching their kids while their wife is out getting her nails done, who are desperate for the sight of someone, anyone's cleavage.

Gimme Chef Pasquale any day.
