0/10... rant fail

Guy Fieri is one of their most successful TV personalities. How many other personalities transitioned from Food Network, to NBC?

Yea I agree, he was a good host on that show "minute to win it". I think he is a good host in general. All I hear are food snobs bitching on the complainers side of this thread.

Guy is awesome. Don't be hating on the Triple D. I wish my gig was to tour the country and eat a bunch of food.

He can get a little annoying, but the show itself is ok

But I have to agree, the stupid behind the head sunglasses thing has annoyed me from day 1 too!

I hate that he goes by "Guy Fieri" on television, I hate the way he says "Fieri", and I absolutely hate how he insists on wearing those stupid glasses on the back of head no matter where he is or what he's doing. Other than that, he's fine and I love DDD.

This lady I used to work with said that he looks like a guy that would give you crabs. :eek:

I like him, and he seems to legitimately enjoy eating. Food Network has a lot shitty/annoying hosts.

Rachael Ray tops the list, not even debatable
Dunno her name but that spiky haired blond punk rocker looking chick is up there too "I'm making Chicken Parm with Crushed Red"

Guy is cool and seems like the dude on DDD is the same dude you'd hang out with. That blond chick is especially annoying, she was talking to her chicken calling it "beautiful darling" about 5 times.

I agree Guy really comes off that the food is really good. i think thats part of making me want to go to those places. It just seems to me he is stuck in his frat years in college.

but yeah i would love to go on a trip with him. he would know all the great places to eat and what to order heh.

Yep, and even better because he's a celebrity I bet a lot of places give him free food like it was nothing. Not just when their spot's on DDD and it's for the show. I bet he walks in some kick ass BBQ joint and gets hooked up just for being Guy. Shit let me tag along with him I'd be more than happy to help him eat free food.

Yes holy shit she's annoying, I think all the females on Food Network except Paula Dean and Gina Neely are annoying as hell, and even Gina has her annoying moments.

Have you seen Bitchin' Kitchen yet? you will slice your wrists within minutes....

I want to stab Gina Neely in the face with a toothpick. I can't stand her.

The only female worth watching is

I love watching her cooking, and she is easy on the eyes although that pic makes it look like she has flap jack boobs.....but back to the OP...I like Guy as the host of DDD and his cooking show but that's it.....he should not be hosting a game show on network tv.

I like the format of DDD a lot but I cannot stand Guy... I put up with it because I like the show but he just is such a douche to me.

I liked Guy before, but if you actually read his story.. It makes him just that much more likable, IMO. Most people don't realize that he was just a contestant on The Next Food Network Star, and was only known locally before then. He's come a long way, and is definitely likable.
