Because someone else can write her blog posts, but it's really her up there.

You know, the city girl from the metropolis of Bartlesville, Oklahoma

And what accent is that, given that your idea of “flyover country” encompasses 30 different states?

I like Pioneer Woman because I spent my childhood eating at church potlucks and Sunday picnics. I’m pretty sure her demographic is church-going, casserole-eating invisible church ladies of the Midwest.

I say that because 1) she's an awful cook 2) husband's family is filthy rich.

^oops meant "collar"

He can't beleive she gets her own show and cooks nothing more exotic than quesidilla, brownies on a stick or vats of chilie to feed "hard working cowboys".. I will say this, her ranch house is awesome. Love that its so modern out on a ranch in OK.

LMAO! Your DH is correct. Everything she makes looks like blue follar slop to me. I should know... I grew up poor.

Sandra Lee ultimately booted Andy Cuomo out. You’ve got to give her a credit for that. Secretly hoping she writes a book about that relationship.

Her disposition is that of a cat who got the canary. I think she's incredibly inauthentic and nothing but a common opportunist gold digger. That voice and the whole aw-shucks flyover shtick is so incredibly fake. She is a University of Southern California (private, $$$) alum who was in one of the most pretentious and snotty mean girl sororities there. She lived in Los Angeles through more of her 20s. She didn't want a simply life in flyover country, she was a failure in vapid, fast and flashy California, so she turned her her eyes on the nitwit trust funder in Oklahoma.

No, in her case it’s called being a failed “actress” / party girl in LA and then sinking your claws into a rich heir in flyover country.

Yet you responded to a super old post and still watch her show.

I don't have room in my life to hate more than one "celebrity" chef and I'm choosing Sandra Lee

Jokes are whatever but her complete inability to cook during the pandemic has been an eye-opener. She never knows what size pot to use (twice has had to just "change the recipe" because the rest of the ingredients didn't fit??), everything is half-made/premade (baked beans made with cans of baked beans; "homemade" soup made with cans of soup?) and the recipes themselves are way past uninspiring (grilled cheese sandwich, mug cakes that even Tasty stopped pushing years ago). I like some of her recipes and I know a lot of cooking shows rely on producers but this has really affected my opinion of her. I genuinely just don't think the woman can cook.
