Rachael Ray: Pretty but Stressed?

I haven't been to any Rachael Ray television tapings, but I've found a great firsthand account of the process behind bringing her shows to the screen at "I'm Not Obsessed". The author had the opportunity to attend a Rachael taping and she did a great job of documenting the whole affair from the pre-show muffins to the occasional re-takes.

The entire piece deserves attention, but here are a few quick highlights...

• Rachael Ray will let loose with a little profanity!

• The audience can't always smell the stuff for which their clapping. They're just assuming it smells as tasty as RR says!

• Rachael Ray is beautiful--even prettier than you'd expect.

• They seem to give away a lot of freebies at tapings.

• Rachael has a sassy side and isn't always chipper.

The author thinks the stress is getting to Ray. I don't know about that, but I do give her post great marks for giving us an inside look at a taping!
