I saw the Esquire article and I was appalled. Giada is either not very smart (which I think is the case) or mentally disturbed. As if showing us almost every inch of her sagging breasts while she stirs pasta sauce isn’t enough, we have to see her covered in tomato sauce as well. Does anyone really think she is attractive? Skinny doesn’t mean attractive. She looks sickly with that huge head and skinny body. I’m sure she thinks the only thing she has going for her is her breasts, but even those are a bit saggy. I’m sorry, but I just can’t get past that head! I noticed she’s pulling back her hair these days, but it doesn’t help make her head look smaller. The woman is damn ugly, and showing her breasts doesn’t help.
Now, on to another objection. Why on earth does she have to pronounce Italian food with an Italian accent? That is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. We just laugh until we have tears coming out! My girlfriend can imitate her so well, I can’t stop laughing. Who on earth does that? It’s just so annoying. I must admit that I watch Everyday Italian because my girlfriend and I imitate her and have such a good time laughing. It’s more of a comedy show than a cooking show.
Reading the comments above, I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who feels that way!
I guess it's because Giada can't seem to cook without showing off some cleavage. Have you ever seen her on any of her programs without cleavage? How can anyone take her seriously? Did you see the phony smile, the fake pronuncations of Italian foods, the excessive hand motions? Take a look at some of her early episodes. She is a completely different person. She's more natural and much more pleasant. She doesn't show every tooth in her mouth when she smiles, and she doesn't feel it necessary to capture your attention with the low cut tops. Slender, yes. Attractive? Are you kidding?
Agree. Giada is mostly for laughs. She should not be taken seriously...after all...look at her!
Lidia Bastianich or Mario would both be excellent.
I honestly don't want to be mean, but why do you think the food network allows Giada to show so much up top? I became uncomfortable when my 11-year old daughter asked me why Giada always wears low cut blouses.I don't think it's appropriate for a cooking show which appears in the afternoon. Several other female chefs have worn some low cut tops, but none are as low and revealing as Giada's. Am I alone on this?

Giada just doesn't get it, does she? Nigella Lawson doesn't have to have half her breasts hanging out to show how sexy she is. Perhaps it's because her face is actually pretty and her head is a normal size. Giada really needs the distraction of her breasts to take the attention away from the bobble head. She is truly unattractive. Of course, there are plenty of unattractive people in the world, and that's just fine, but Giada believes she is an Italian Godess. News Flash...NOT!
Plus, her cooking is for children. Seriously, anyone with half a brain can cook better than Giada. Sandra Lee also cooks easy meals, but that's what her show is all about. It's supposed to be easy! Giada pretends she's a good cook, but if anyone has tried her recipes, you'll quickly understand how good a cook she really is. She tries to make everything Italian by adding some basil or changing one other ingredient. Sorry, Giada...that doesn't make it Italian. That's like making spaghetti and meatballs and adding a tablespoon of curry to call it Indian! Make some real Italian food for a change.
Did anyone see Giada on the Today Show a few weeks ago? She was so out-of-place, she had no idea what to do. She looked like a complete fool because she had nothing to say. She sat there like she was scared to death. Let's hope the Today Show producers don't make that mistake again.
