I like Ramsey. He's great. Rachel Ray is painful to listen to.

I like Ramsey too. Especially his puke-dramatics.

I liked when he called one of his chefs a donkey.

I like her personality a lot, her recipes tend to look quite good (never tried making anything), the show is sort of OK but not great. (I don't really like talk shows...)

I want to impale her with a spoonula, drown her in a vat of stoup made with EVOO, and then turn her into a sammy. You know, just run a knife through her, a few turns of the pan.
I like some of her recipes, but I find her personality and jargon nauseating.

I couldn't have put it any better myself.

UUUGGHH! I can't stand her 'cutesy' expressions (Batya's post was 'delish!' and 'yummo!') and she had a revelation when she discovered the work 'dredging'. Uhm, lady, you 'write' cookbooks, the word is not that obscure. I used to watch her for the recipes but now I avoid her.

Ditto. I really like her cookbooks.
It's nearly impossible to hide from her now that she's the face of Dunkin Donuts and Ritz crackers.

I read about a RR book signing on someone's blog, she said Rachel was terribly rude. Another blogger wrote that Gordon Ramsey was way too 'touchy feely'.

She's always on by my nutritionist. Nothing against her, but bad choice of a show to be on there, especially when you keep all your fat patients waiting upwards of three hours!

I never got why people complain about others being too "touchy feely". What's so great about the cold, impersonal, agressive "people"?

Is this what people find so chic about Isreal? That there are no "touchy feely" people?
yuck!

They're less of a threat to the emotional space of people who have difficulty with emotional expression.

People who have difficulty with emotional expression should get professional help for their own good and that of society in general.

I don't know what they mean by touchy-feely on the show.
What about people who have a certain amount of emotional expression they're comfortable with but above that level feel the other person is being too touchy-feely?

I think individuals who take issue with human warmth are probably suffering from flat affect, which could be
indicative of an entire host of psychological disorders. Or they just might be
rotten people, which is worse, since psychological disorder can be treated while
rottenness is a chronic, incurable disease of the soul.

You're taking it out of context, she meant he grabbed her in places he shouldn't have.
(No touchy feely people in Israel? You've got to be kidding.
