i wish folks could see how tv werks from behind the camera.
he could be a miserable bastard, but if it sells, they'll keep pushing him.
yeah, that's a bad lead in for my opinion, but it's just stating what i've seen for 28 years in the biz.
ok, so, i like him too, and from what i've heard (3rd or 4th or 5th person) he is the real deal. a decent guy, family values, who is a foodie through and through.
he's able to pull off the "everything's great" b.s. with honesty, unlike rachael ray did a few years back before she became an inferior orange plastic salesperson that makes me want to stab myself in the forehead with a fork, much like too much cotton candy does. (i'm bad at circuses. "i can do that!?!)
anyway, if i haf one criticism of ol'guy, it would be how he prounences his name: fietti. it's freaking fierrrrieeee, already.
but that's california italians for ya. twice, umm a dozen times removed.
oh yeah, and he needs to start some preacher curls to pull off the tattoos.
otherwise, he's too cool for school in my book. i watch him as a friend that i wish i was there.
