Great! FoodTV Finally found someone more annoying then Rachel Ray. Someone tell Gina to shut the heck up and let Pat talk. Pat has something of substance to say usually.....she can't compete with his stories or his classy ways and that's why she makes fun of him every time he gets 2 seconds of talk in. I don't see the love that alot of others do in this show. I see a pushy woman making her husband look like a fool.
