Even though I hate to defend her, Rachel Ray is usually very clear that she is a cook and not a chef. When she competed on Iron Chef America she was the first one to point out that she was a cook and had not had formal training. So maybe other people refer to her as a "chef" but she does not.

This. The following is a quote from Aviva's 5/27 blog and the minute I read it I thought to myself oh, she thinks she needs to decide what is good TV for me: Check out my new product Tranquil Day! It is an all natural anti-stress supplement. It chills you out and helps to sleep and is very healthy for you! Don't worry -- I don't take it before filming. . .That would be terrible for ratings! I decided that day that Aviva was playing a character and bringing the x-rays, doctor's notes, throwing her leg that's all part of the script that she's come up with for the season. The issue for me is I don't tune into to the Real Housewives so that I can see completely scripted drama (I know it's not all read). If I want that I'll turn on Scandal, just as over the top but much better acting.
