Rachael Ray's Italian Dream Home

I loved watching the creativity and genius that both Michael and RA put into the structure of this home. However, it was negated by the attitude and rudeness Rachel displayed to everyone at one point or another in the transformation process. People over possessions, always! Shame on you Rachel Ray.

I agree with everyone about how rude and toxic she is. I can't believe someone in her employ didn't stop this from becoming an actual show. I'd also heard first hand from a driver we had in Italy who had unfortunately driven her before. They were mortified!

No need to repeat what everyone else said so This is what disappointed me so much: she didn't collect dishes or rugs or anything from her travels in Italy, nothing was authentically Italian. She shipped it over from New York. A shame and really, a scam. All she cared about was some date on the calendar that everything had to be done by and she didn't care enough about the humans who were killing themselves to meet her ridiculous deadline.

Every single review here is negative! Not a single positive thing about her!

I couldn't wait to watch, as I love Italy so much, and always fond of her ,thought I was fond of her, till I saw show . All I can say is ,she is a tyrant. Her poor contractor walking on ice ,he really gets anxious when she's coming there. I can see why, she's dreadful! Drinking her wine barking orders ,mad about him bringing furniture and decor to her warehouse,where she has things stored there she picked out for home .She was like get this out of here ,furniture he brought and thought she might like ,she just was livid he said she told me to store it here so many times !! She obviously doesn't remember what she says because she's not coherent from all the wine and is horrible to her staff .And how she is about her husband, her saying ,I don't want to see my husband shower "as if he's some disgusting swamp creature,"he needs separate shower from me where I can't see. She is not cute it's not funny ,it was just mean, and she has horrible taste.

What a disappointment to discover how rude and spoiled Rachael Ray is. She is hateful to her general contractor who works so hard to please her. If she likes something she never tells him, but if she doesn't like it she doesn't stop telling him. I don't know how he stays with her.

Oh, and who the heck needs a kitchen in their bedroom?!?

At one point Rachel says she wants screens in her windows. Her contractor shows us that there are screens in her windows. Is she happy? No. She complains that she had to pay for them. They want two separate bathrooms. That's fine, but when she gets them she's not happy. The woman is never happy. She looks tired in the two episodes I watched yet she's never physically working on the house herself. I don't understand the point of the show.

I thought I was tuning in to a renovation show about Rachels home in Italy. I didn't realize it was a castration of her husband John and every worker involved in the construction of her home.

I have never witnessed such rude, condescending, belittling by another human being to family (husband) and or workers. How is she still married? Is John that desperate for her money to endure her inexcusable behavior? What about her construction workers? I don't care how much money you have, no man or woman is better and anyone else.

I am shocked Rachel allowed this to air, but on the other hand this is obviously the real Rachel and she sees nothing wrong is airing this show.
