What show drives you crazy?
What show do you like to watch, but are loath to admit it?
As mentioned elsewhere, The Pioneer Woman drives me bat-poop crazy. Obviously, her cooking is unhealthy, but it isn't even interesting or creative. Her lifestyle doesn't look "pioneering" in any way. She has two very modern, updated houses a half an hour from town. I would be interested if it was based on historical research and reenactment of true pioneer cooking. Or if it was a contemporary spin by following modern homesteaders cooking and living off the grid. I do like her basset hounds though.
For guilty pleasures, I like Guy Fieri. His Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives finds some really off the wall places that have a lot of character, local flavor, and are often an interesting look at different local culture. His Grocery Games contest show can get pretty funny.

I was flipping channels last week and saw a minute of Rachael Ray. Hadn't seen her in years as I rarely watch tv and I was shocked to see how much weight she has gained.
