Chef Extraordinaire
I watched this show for the first time this week, about cooking for your in-laws. Cool show in general, although I thought her jokes were terribly unfunny.
The host's character seems to be unpopular here. What if that same character were a male? Would the show be any different or would it not work?
Not to me it wouldn't.The host's character seems to be unpopular here. What if that same character were a male? Would the show be any different or would it not work?

Ann Burell. She can be pretty grunting and squealing obnoxious. I do like some of her recipes. Bitchin woman has been in movies I don't remember. Her hubby is somewhat eye candy. No memorable recipes that I recall. I find Paula and her sons amusing, amd I admire that she made something out of nothing, being a divorcee and all.

I once moved to N.D. for 8 mo's, &, the people there treated me as though I had fallen from another planet..I felt like a 25 cent gumball machine transplant. They were always snickering at how I talked. Paula to me just has a REALLY REALLY thick accent. Sometimes, I don't even know what shes saying.
She's trying too hard to be cool and her recipes are nothing to write home about.
Well, I agree that she's trying too hard to be cool, it's pretty obvious to most I would imagine. Perhaps that's one element of the show that makes it interesting to some. But like I mentioned before I didn't find her jokes funny at all.
But also for someone like myself who is still in the basic learning stages of cooking, I find her recipes and demos fun to watch and easy to remember.
As a comparison in the complexity of recipes, for instance, I often find some of the Iron Chef recipes way over my head.
I watched part of one episode about a month ago. It was like watching "Jersey Shore" in the kitchen. My assumption is that it's geared toward the younger crowd, though even our 19-year-old was not impressed, either.
Bitchin' Kitchen has been on for close to two years now, so someone must like the show.
