I don't particularly mind Giada's Italian pronunciation. However, the
perusals I've gotten of her latest show left me with the disturbing
impression that she's turning into Rachel Ray. She acts completely
enraptured by everything she puts in her mouth just as RR does in
$40.00 A Day. She does the rolling of eyes, the fake ectasy,
everything but "Yum-O!" The resemblance is uncanny, so much so that I
have to wonder if the Food Network makes Giada consult the same (bad)
acting coach RR used.
