The Next Rachael Ray?

My full thoughts on Down Home with the Neelys will be coming shortly, but for now... enjoy this video of Gina Neely highlights from the premiere episode that I made:




Rachael Ray-esque with the sayings and loudness? At first I thought she was a little much (I feel that espeically after watching this lil' video), but I think a lot of it might have to do with nervousness. Some people, like Giada, were nervous and barely smiled in their first few episodes. Others, like Rachael, get crazy loud to the point of obnoxious.

Will Gina (and her nerves) settle down, or is this pretty much the standard, you think?

I don't know, she seems bubbly and fun. I don't find her to be Rachael Ray like though. I guess I need to see this show to get the full picture but from this I think she would be a fun lady to share a meal with.

No, she doesn't remind me RR at all. I would say Ingrid is more like RR.
