Rachael Ray's reign of terror as a television twit may be at an end.Page 6 reports today that Ray's syndicated show will not be picked up for another season by King World after the hostess's current contract expires. Ray's ratings have dipped to 2.0 this year after hovering around 2.2 in 2007. Compare that to Dr. Phil's average of 5.0, and consider that Ray's show is actually more expensive to produce...well, there you have the crux of the situation.
Ray's TV fortunes are not being helped any by the fact that everyone who works with her hates her.
Marie Osmond is reportedly being lined up by King World as Ray's successor. Osmond was last seen faking a faint on Dancing With the Stars, and blaming it on the smoke from the wildfires.
Yes, Marie Osmond may be even more vile than Rachael Ray. And that's saying something.
