My Top 10 Food Network Stars

I recently commented on a friend's status about how Barefoot Contessa cook Ina Garten was one of THEE most BORING-EST personalities on TV. Now I did agree that she makes AMAZING food. Probably top of the list stuff. I just can't stand to watch her. Actually I am forced to because I workout around 5pm and it is her show that is on.................................................................. Then it is Down Home with the Neely's......................................................... Food Network definitely must understand that the viewer rating drops at 5 for moms (and dads) as they either (a) pick up their kids (b) start making dinner. Now back to the comment:
.....but good food is good food.
True. Good food is good food, but if I JUST wanted good food, I would get a recipe. Not watch 30 minutes on TV, strugglin'. I am glad the treadmills don't have audio on, so I just look at the food.  Here are my rankings for Food Network Stars:
  1. Bobby Flay - Throwdown, Grill It! - (Amazing food, Amazing personality)
  2. Emeril Lagasse - Emeril Live! - (Ditto but Bobby knows how to BBQ so he gets the edge.  Moved to Ion so technically not FN anymore. BAM!!)
  3. Guy Fieri - Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives, Guy's Big Bite - (Best shows, Best personality, the food he makes, or eats actually, is all fatty but it looks delicious!!! We need more dives in Seattle)
  4. Giada DeLaurentiis - Everday Italian -(I love Italian food! I am also going to admit that I watch Giada because she is SUPER pretty. Is that all I watch her show for?! Let's hope not...... although I am sure more guys watch this show for her... and her low-cut blouses..............)
  5. Alton Brown - Good Eats, Iron Chef - (I like to know why stuff works and I enjoy the scientific parts to health and nutrition. It also means he knows what things pair well together. However, it doesn't mean he is a good cook.)
  6. Rachael Ray - 30 Minute Meals - (Great personality, with no culinary experience. If you haven't heard her story, it is amazing! EVOO!!)
  7. Paula Dean - Paula's Home Cooking - (Good personality, she would be 3 spots higher if she took out ALL that butter! I would eat all her pies though!)
  8. Tyler Florence - Tyler's Ultimate - (BORING, that is all I am going to say.)
  9. Ina Garten - Barefoot Contessa - (Great food, like top 3 status, but no personality. This makes her second to last. She would be last but I found someone worse...)
    1. It is like liking somebody but you absolutely abhor their best friend and can't wait for them to leave.
    2. It is like winning football games but you should have lost..............all of them.....
    3. It is like waiting 35 minutes in line to get Molly Moon's for an ice cream..... wait it's always worth the wait...
  10. Sandra Lee - Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee - (part cook, part decor-er, part garbage! and the first two parts are VERY  small. Maybe it is her voice! Maybe it is her hair!! Maybe it is her clothes! IDK!!!!!!!)
