Yes, I do. But I also know from watching Next Food Network Star, that Food
Network is looking for different personalities to create around. They can
set up the situation, but the delivery is still within the persona of the
'star.' Sorry if Giada is a favorite of yours and I stepped on your toes.
I like Giada and Ina both, it's just a personality trait that I have noticed
because I am somewhat guilty of it myself. As, I suspect, are most of the
people on this newsgroup.
