Rachael Ray Power Hour
Been watching the food channel too much. (Can't cook a thing, I burn water.)
Rachael Ray is annoying.
Her show is like a car wreck. I can't take my eyes away from it. I am powerless, forced to watch. Rachael, Extra Virgin Olive Oil is pronounced Extra Virgin Olive Oil, not E.V.O.O. or worse, E.V.O.O. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Since I am not a loser at all, I have made a drinking game out of her show (30 minute meals) called the Rachael Ray Power Hour.
RULES:
In the beginning of the show, if (when) she explains what a 30 minute meal is, that's 3 drinks just to get the ball rolling. I also like to shout out, "What's that mean?" In the little space between, "Hi, I'm Rachael Ray and I cook 30 minute meals" and, "That means I make a meal in 30 minutes or less."
These fouls are 1 Drink each:
"E.V.O.O."
"Garbage Bowl"
"Girls Best Friend"
Giggle after unfunny remark
"Grab"
Explaination of toast in the broiler
"Sofa" or "Couch"
"Give it a spin"
"Eyeball"
"Jazzed"
"How good does this look?" (or any rhetorical question)
"Killer"
Names any cheese she is not using
"Awesome"
"All working together" or "working" to describe the process of cooking.
2 Drink fouls:
"Shoosh" or "Zhoosh"
"E.V.O.O. Extra Virgin Olive Oil"
Chug your whole beer:
"Jobby"
This is because we've never actually heard her say it but we believe the potential is there. As in, "Let's get one of these jobbies working in there." That would be a chug plus 1 drink for the "working" foul.
Another (optional) rule we like to employ is double drinks for the first time any foul is committed. Example: "I'm just gonna toss that in my garbage bowl.... garbage bowl, a girls best friend." That's 5 Drinks. 2 for the first garbage bowl, 1 for the 2nd, and 2 for the first usage of "girls best friend."
30 minute meals (The Rachael Ray Power Hour) comes on Time Warner cable in Manhattan on ch.50 between 6:00 and 7:00.

This drinking game sounds like it could be well adapted to her other annoying show - the one where she goes to a city and gets three meals for $40.
Drink -
Every time she makes that annoying "mmmm" sound while poking food with her fork.
Every time she enlists a "local" to help her "find" a place - as if the whole thing hasn't been planned in advance
Every time she pronounces her meal "awesome"
Chug -
Whenever she adds a giggle to the "mmmm" sound
Whenever she hoists a beer or other alcoholic beverage
You'll be drunk in no time.
