I saw an episode today that made me wonder if the new penny shine isn't
starting to wear off on that "30 min meal" show. She wasn't her usual
ratcheted up Rach. She just sort of mechanically slogged through like,
"Hey, it's a living". Didn't say, "evoo", once! Not that I blame her. The
material they give her on that show would make a lightening bolt nod off.
OTOH, the "$40 day" show she recently did on her home town was registered Rachel.
It also provided a lot of insight into her background and character. Would
anyone be surprised to learn she was captain of her highschool cheerleading
squad? I thought not. It's obvious she still enjoys doing the "30minmeal"
show. She continues to gleefully spew her painfully perky personality all over
our living rooms. I, for one, enjoy it.
