Sadly, folks, it looks like Rachael Ray's show might be canceled at the end of her contract due to poor ratings. Am I the only one who's actually excited about this!? Maybe. The New York Post's Page Six says:
Insiders say the demanding TV cook's syndicated daytime show, "Rachael Ray," carried here on WABC/Channel 7, will be getting the ax at the end of her contract.
An impeccable TV source told Page Six, "They are seriously talking about taking her off the air."
The problem is Ray's ratings. When she debuted two years ago, she had a meager 2.5 rating, which her syndicator, King World, nonetheless trumpeted as "The biggest syndicated debut since 'Dr. Phil.' " In fact, one insider said, "They had hoped for more. 'Dr. Phil' beats 'Oprah' and gets like a 5.0 rating - and Rachael's set is very expensive and elaborate; his is just chairs."
A rep for Ray fumed that she's not alone in her falling numbers: Oprah, who discovered the bubbly chef, was down 15 percent from February 2007 as were "Live with Regis and Kelly," "The Tyra Banks Show" and "The Martha Stewart Show."
In 2007, Ray's syndicated show averaged a 2.2 Nielsen rating and has already dipped to 2.0 this year. An insider said, "Anything below a 2.0 is asking for trouble."'
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HA! HA! HA!... Ehhh hem... eh hem. Sorry... but this is one of the greatest things I have heard in a long time! I can't stand anything about Rachael Ray! Her and her spunky little attitude and her perky little breasts... I can't stand it! Talking about how you should put E.V.O.O. on everything (she would probably shower in that stuff if she could)... Honestly, Rachael, would it kill you to say "Extra Virgin Olive Oil" just once!? Just one time!? Would it!? Yet, everyone seemingly still loves this chick! Well, finally, the ratings have spoken, and for once, there may be justice in the world! If I never saw Rachael on TV again, I'd be okay with it. Scratch that, I'd be a happy man! That's it, I'm starting a boycott of Rachael and everything she stands for right now... are you with me, folks? Tell me! Are ya with me!?!? VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!
Here's Rachael and her annoying perky cleavage at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival toward the end of last month. How can cleavage be annoying... I don't know... but on her, it somehow is! Enjoy, kids!
