   For worst show I think it's a tie between Sandra Lee and Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman). I don't have a problem with taking shortcuts, but Sandra Lee takes shortcuts to a whole new (and disgusting) level. Anyone who ever saw the Kwanza cake episode knows what I mean! As for Ree? If you know anything about her back-story (city girl becomes little 'ole ranch wife) and then you find out what the REAL scoop is, you'll see that she and her show are as manufactured for tv as an episode of Jersey Shore. I don't mind her recipes, but it bugs me that most of them are straight out of community cookbooks and she rarely credits her sources. So for just for being fake Ree gets my vote! As for best shows? Another tie. I like Alex Guarnaschelli because she's the real deal (I'm looking at YOU Sandra and Ree), and she knows what she's doing. I also like Ina Garten even though she's a pretentious name-dropper, because at the end of the day, her recipes are good and they work!
   
   Now before you crucify me for my opinions, remember...they're opinions...nobody has to agree with me, and if you don't, try not to be personal ok?
