My tv is permanently on the Food network..curious on how others would type the stars...Specifically:
Giada De Laurentiis
Emeril
Bobby Flay
Paula Dean
Dave Lieberman (this guy makes me smile ear to ear the whole time. He fascinates me, haha.)
Tyler Florence
the food network? what has the world come to? god...
I've been wanting to do this topic for awhile (I love the food network too :) ) and have to add these people to the list of ones I want to know...
Rachael Ray (ENFj? (but somehow seems too um.... genuine? so I also think some SF))
Mario Batali (SF)
Alton Brown (alpha NT)
Jamie Oliver (the brit Oliver's Twist guy (my fav to watch probably))
That's because he's ENFp, lol.Quote:

You think dave liebermans an enfp? Ah, i melt when i watch that guy. I'm sure i look like a pathetic schoolgirl..i sit in front of the tv in awe, lol! pathetic really, haha.
The only person i can't tolerate is giada del..however you spell it. It gets old hearing her describe the food into such detail. Just cook the damn stuff already! Not a big fan of Emeril either really.
Looks ESFj from the pics I have seen.Quote:

<3 ahhh he's great.
He's not on as regularly as the rest of the others for some reason. Usually on weekends during the afternoon.
Yeah, I can't really see him as any other type. He's not hyper enough to be ENFj. He has those slightly stoned :Ne: eyes.
Giada I don't mind so much, except she's always baring those enormous teeth. Alton is probably the most consistantly watchable.
haha My first thought when I saw this thread was something along those lines. I was reminded of how disgusted I feel when I go to the mall or walmart or whatever and see things like... glittery antiperspirant :shock: seriously, wtf?Quote:

regarding nigella lawson, she does use a good deal of :Fe: huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7wfaOPHOZI
There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking full advantage of what you've got. :P Nigella has single-handedly contributed to the tarting-up of food television. Even the shots of food on her show are pornographic. I applaud her and her bosoms.
lol what's so scary about a TV network devoted to food and cooking? There's a whole network devoted to Reality TV... now that's scary!
Yeah, I could think of many worse things. :lol:Quote:

it's not scary... just frivolous... but not nearly as bad as those shows that are just about celebrities and their lives :?Quote:

Alton: ENTp (His show, Good Eats, tunned me in to foodnetwork. I love how he goes into the chemistry of food)!
Sandra Lee: ENFj

For serious! :) That episode created more of that impression.
I find it near impossible to type females as --->ISTj. The feminine qualities fool me. Rachel Ray is my first. Tyra Banks is my second.
I'd buy ISTj.Quote:

They are both very dynamic and expressive. Are ISTjs like that? Laugh at me, but Rachel Ray could be a hyper ENTj. She reminds me of my boyfriend when he cooks and explains things to me. :lol:Quote:

I don't know... I'm generally a shitty typer so I'll remain open to the possibility.
at the risk of becoming an outcast... I like her. There's something I find soothing about the way she talks and her stupid little nicknames for things :oops:
ahaha, EVOO.Quote:

I think anybody who gets paid to travel around like that has the best job. Ever watch Globe Trekker? I love that show!Quote:

40 dollars a day is one of my favorites even though it's entirely too corny. And I'm sorry, but I don't see how anyone could type Rachel Ray as an introvert. If she is, i'd really hate to see an extrovert.
no, i knew there was a food channel, but can't see why anyone in their right mind would watch it.Quote:

Is there any normal activity you don't find pointless? I watch it because I like it. Why does anyone watch tv? They enjoy it.Quote:

Even going over the top a lot of the time. Oh yeah and her "corniness"...is a major part of why I got the ISTj impression. Those jokes she makes! OMG.Quote:

Good Eats is definitely my favorite show on that network, and Alton Brown is by far the most entertaining host. My INFj sister almost always just has the Food Network on in her room for background noise.Quote:

How cute.
I think Bobby Flay could be an ESxp, most likely ESFp.
I have to own up to watching most food channels :oops: ...there is something wholesome and comforting about them for me. Cooking is also one of the areas where I expiriment when I have the time and sometimes I get new ideas from food channels. I like Nigella Lawson...she manages to make cooking look seductive or something.
I think Rachel Ray is ESFj. She seems to me to have a lot of Fe, and I think she values Ne because she'll say something like, "If you don't have X on hand, use Y, or even Z or whatever". ISTjs would say, "Make sure you use this particular ingredient, and make sure you get it packaged this way, and then clean it this way, and cut it this way. Do it just that way because doing things properly leads to a good finished dish." Or something.
I have to admit I've only seen her show a few times though. My mom watches it.

Why?
I get a Si>Ni vibe, and Alpha rather than Beta, but I don't have strong arguments.Quote:

I hate hearing her pronounce spaghetti like "spee-GEE-tee!" in that high-pitched voice.Quote:

I especially enjoy watching Bobby Flay destroy his competition on Beat Bobby Flay. That said I haven’t watched the network in two years; burned out maybe.
Typings
======
Bobby Flay - ESFp D(?)
Giada D L - ISFj N or ESFj... I kind of think a weird ISFj / enneagram 2w3?
Mario Batali - ESFp possible but not sure - his kitchen behind the scenes hedonism is legendary
Rachel Ray - ESTp
Emeril Lagasse - ESFj
Alton Brown - INFj with really developed Ti role, or possibly Alpha NT (though I’d be surprised)
Guy Fieri - Beta or else that’s just his persona??
Ina Garten - ISTp
Anne Burrell - ISTj
I’m leaving out people I’m not that familiar with.
Thoughts??
